ID FLAP FS SC MULTI(1), Custer Motorway Stabilization Project

The Federal Highway Administration is seeking qualified contractors to perform bank stabilization, reinforced soil slope construction, and roadway resurfacing work on the Custer Motorway Stabilization Project located 11 miles west of Challis, Idaho, within the Salmon-Challis National Forest. The project scope encompasses multiple technical disciplines including erosion control, environmental mitigation, temporary stream diversion, traffic management, and ecological design features such as root wads and fish passage improvements. This procurement is limited to six pre-approved prime contractors from the Idaho, Montana, and Surrounding Areas Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC), including ASCORP Inc., Granite Construction, Hamilton Construction, M.A. Deatley Construction, MJ Hughes Construction, and Thompson Contracting. The solicitation documents are expected to be posted to SAM.gov during the Fall/Winter 2025 timeframe, with technical questions directed to wfl.plansspec@dot.gov and general inquiries to wfl.contracts@dot.gov or 360-619-7520. No specific evaluation criteria or proposal deadline has been announced in this pre-solicitation notice, though interested parties are advised to monitor SAM.gov and use the "follow" function to receive notifications when the formal solicitation is released.

This opportunity carries no small business set-aside designation and will be awarded through a negotiated task order contract mechanism. The project is divided into two mutually exclusive bid schedules, with Schedule A covering 0.04 miles at milepost 25.3 and Schedule B covering 0.10 miles across both milepost 24.0 and 25.3 locations, though only one schedule will be selected for award. The estimated contract value ranges from $700,000 to $2,000,000, making this a substantial infrastructure investment. Construction is scheduled to commence in Fall/Winter 2025 with a planned completion date of Summer 2026. Prospective offerors are encouraged to view the project site during fall months when site accessibility permits, as snow and weather conditions may limit site access during winter solicitation and planning phases.
