About this opportunity
The Federal Highway Administration seeks contractors for the rehabilitation and repair of Auto Tour Route 011 Lower Lake Road at Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge near Kenmare, North Dakota. The project encompasses aggregate resurfacing, sub excavation, ditch excavation and reconditioning, and culvert replacement across approximately 2 miles of roadway from milepost 0.0 to 2.0. The work aims to address deteriorating roadway conditions caused by weather events and lack of routine maintenance, ultimately enhancing user experience and facilitating easier maintenance operations for the Refuge. The procurement is structured with a base Schedule A covering drainage improvements from station 15+75 to 89+50, plus three additional options for aggregate surfacing and extended drainage work. This pre-solicitation notice was posted on September 25, 2025, with responses due by October 9, 2025.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, restricting competition to qualifying small business entities under NAICS code 237310 for Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction. The project includes substantial work quantities such as 2.2 acres of clearing and grubbing, 415 cubic yards of subexcavation, 1,800 linear feet of ditch excavation, and 9,000 square yards of rolled erosion control product installation. Major infrastructure components involve removing 145 linear feet of existing pipe culvert, removing 6 headwalls, and installing new 24-inch pipe culverts. The scope addresses decades of surface grading that has created berms along the roadway, cutting off proper surface drainage to existing ditches. No incumbent contractor information or specific budget ranges were disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice.
