The contract will be evaluated using a Firm Fixed Price, Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process, with proposals due September 12, 2025 at 10:00 MDT. Contractors must be registered in SAM.gov and provide performance and payment bonds within 10 days of award, with liquidated damages of $700 per calendar day for delays.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 237310 for Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction, with no incumbents identified in the available documentation. The project value is estimated between $500,000 and $1,000,000, with an anticipated performance period running from September 22, 2025 to May 20, 2026, providing a 240-day timeline for completion.

Performance is structured around Fall/Autumn and Spring priorities, with work required to occur between Labor Day and Memorial Day to accommodate seasonal conditions and recreation site operations.
