The project involves producing and stockpiling approximately 24,000 cubic yards of aggregate surface course material through mobilization, soil erosion control, and potential controlled rock blasting. The quarry development will occur within an existing disturbed area and will not require new vegetation clearing. Interested contractors must submit a Statement of Capability within 16 days of the pre-solicitation notice, including company details and business classification. The solicitation, if released, will be governed by Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 15 and will result in a firm fixed-price contract using negotiated contracting procedures.
