Expedited California Road & Bridge Construction

The Federal Highway Administration's Central Federal Lands Highway Division is seeking contractors for a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for Expedited Road & Bridge Construction throughout California. The procurement covers comprehensive highway construction services including roadway rehabilitation, rockfall hazard mitigation, drainage improvements, bridge demolition and construction, foundation work, value engineering, and various roadway infrastructure improvements. The first task order under this contract will be the Blue Lake Road project in Modoc National Forest, involving rehabilitation of approximately 8.1 miles of road with work including roadway excavation, rock excavation, full depth reclamation, asphalt concrete paving, and traffic control systems. The government will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology to select contractors. The tentative solicitation advertisement date is August 2025, with contract awards anticipated for September 2025 and the seed project completion required by August 2026.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting participation to qualified small business contractors. The government plans to award up to eight separate contracts under this MATOC structure, with a combined total not-to-exceed value of $250 million over a five-year performance period. Each awarded contract will include one base year with options to extend for two additional two-year periods, providing flexibility for long-term project execution. The initial seed project carries an estimated value range of $10-20 million, representing a significant portion of the overall contract value. The pre-solicitation notice indicates responses are due by August 8, 2025, allowing interested small businesses a two-week window to prepare and submit their qualifications for this substantial infrastructure opportunity.
