Key project requirements include clearing 4.5 acres, excavating 8,000 cubic yards, installing 1,350 linear feet of guardrail, placing 1,700 tons of asphalt concrete, establishing turf on 3.8 acres, and implementing environmental mitigation measures such as root wad installations.

Site visits are encouraged during the fall season, as project access may be limited after October 31st due to seasonal weather conditions, and all material sources must be certified free from noxious weeds and invasive plants through fall weed inspections.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, limiting competition to small business entities. The estimated contract value ranges between $5 and $10 million, with a tentative fixed completion date of Summer/Fall 2026.
