Project Title: Lewis & Clark National Forest - 2014 Road Maintenance Services, Rocky Mountain Ranger District

Description of Work:
This project involves road maintenance on the Rocky Mountain Ranger District of the Lewis and Clark National Forest. The successful Contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment (fully operated), supervision, transportation, operating supplies, and incidentals necessary to complete the work. All work shall conform to the specifications of the solicitation and any resultant contract. All equipment shall be in good mechanical operating condition and shall be operated by competent, experienced operators.

Road maintenance consists of reshaping and finish-blading the road bed (including shoulders, turnouts and approaches) to restore the original cross section and grade. Work includes restoring drainage provisions of the road and road appurtenances, including ditches, rolling drain dips, culvert basins, and inverts of culverts and other structures. Additionally, work entails removing ruts, washes, slough and other irregularities that prevent normal runoff from the road surface. Moisture control and mechanical roller compaction is required on all roads specified.

Roads to be maintained for this requirement include:
 North Fork of Teton Road #144 (maintenance from Forest boundary to end of road)
 South Fork of Teton Road #109 (maintenance from Forest boundary to end of road)
 Benchmark Road #235 (maintenance from Junction Road #233 to Mule Creek)

Project Location:
The project is located on the Rocky Mountain Ranger District of the Lewis & Clark National Forest in Teton County, MT.

Price Range: Between $25,000 and $150,000.

Pre-bid Tour: No pre-bid tour will be conducted. Interested parties may contact Brandon Ellis at the Lewis & Clark National Forest, Supervisor's Office, at 406-791-7724 with questions or for directions to view the project site on their own. Contractors are urged to inspect the site where the work will be performed.

Interested parties shall take reasonable steps to ascertain the nature and location of the project area and the work to be completed, as well as the general and local site conditions which can affect the work and cost of performance. Failure to take the actions described in this paragraph will not relieve the Contractor from the responsibility of properly estimating the difficulty and cost to successfully perform the work, or from successful completion of the work without additional expense to the Government.

The solicitation will be available on approximately 2 September 2014, and can be downloaded from this website at that time. A Firm-Fixed Price contract is expected to result from the solicitation.
