The scope of work includes constructing retaining walls (both mechanically-stabilized earth and soldier pile walls), installing and replacing guardrails, lining culverts, and performing asphalt overlay paving along a 0.32-mile stretch of roadway. The project must be designed for a 50 mph speed design standard and accommodate projected traffic volumes ranging from 5,341 to 7,337 average daily vehicles. The solicitation documents will utilize FP-24 specifications and will be available through SAM.gov beginning in Fall 2025, with technical questions to be submitted via email to wfl.plans-spec@dot.gov and general inquiries directed to wfl.contracts@dot.gov or 360-619-7520. Prospective bidders are encouraged to conduct site visits during summer and fall conditions as permitting allows, and must register on SAM.gov and select the "Follow" feature to receive automatic notifications about the solicitation.

This contract opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, limiting competition to qualified small businesses in the Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction industry (NAICS 237310). The estimated contract value ranges between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, representing a significant federal investment in road infrastructure rehabilitation. The project encompasses a relatively compact footprint of 0.3 miles of roadway requiring comprehensive reconstruction involving multiple construction divisions and specialized engineering techniques. The solicitation is tentatively scheduled for Fall/Winter 2025, with a fixed completion date targeted for Fall/Winter 2026, providing contractors approximately one year to complete all reconstruction activities. Key construction requirements include clearing and grubbing, roadway excavation, slope reinforcement through wall construction, aggregate base placement, asphalt concrete pavement installation, temporary traffic control management, erosion control measures, and permanent pavement markings.
