About this opportunity
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Montana State Office is soliciting proposals for the GAOA Chain of Lakes Potable Water System Replacement project, which involves providing all labor, equipment, supplies, and materials needed to trench and backfill replacement potable water lines, irrigation main lines, potable hydrants, and the design and installation of underground sprinkler systems. The procurement seeks a single firm-fixed-price construction contractor to complete comprehensive water infrastructure replacement at five recreational sites in Montana. Key technical specifications include using 4710 DR 13.5 HDPE pipe for potable water lines and PE pipe rated to 100 psi for irrigation systems, with flexible installation methods including open trenching, boring, and plow-in place techniques permitted. The evaluation process will weigh past performance as significantly more important than price, requiring contractors to submit three volumes covering required documentation, past performance information, and pricing. The solicitation deadline has been extended to August 26, 2025 at 1:00 PM Mountain Time, with questions having been due by August 7, 2025, and a strongly recommended site visit was conducted on July 24, 2025.
This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside with a size standard of $45 million under NAICS code 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction). No incumbent contractors are mentioned in the solicitation documents, though the site visit was attended by representatives from Greenup, McKenzie Construction, Premier Utility Solutions, and Mike Wirth Construction LLC. The contract value is estimated between $500,000 and $1,000,000, with a performance period from September 15, 2025 to November 30, 2026. The work will be performed at five specific locations: Devils Elbow Campground, Clarks Bay Recreation site, and White Sandy Campground in Lewis and Clark County, Montana, plus Holter Lake Campground and Log Gulch Campground in Cascade County, Montana. Flow rates for the five water systems range from 15 to 35 gallons per minute, with specific rates established for each location through the amendment process.
