The contract will be awarded as a sealed bid with firm-fixed-price terms, requiring contractors to meet specifications outlined in FP-14 construction standards. The work scope includes multiple construction divisions encompassing survey and staking, quality control, earthwork, riprap placement, concrete and structural installations, erosion and dust control, and stream mitigation measures including rock weirs, log barriers, and fish passage enhancements. No specific evaluation criteria or question deadlines are provided in this pre-solicitation notice; interested vendors should register with SAM.gov and follow the opportunity to receive notifications when solicitation documents are posted in Spring/Summer 2026.

No incumbent contractors or potential awardees are identified in the pre-solicitation notice. Contractors interested in bidding should register as SAM users, obtain entity linkage, and ensure they have the Contract Opportunities Administrator role assigned to view the Interested Vendors List and receive updates on specification documents and bid instructions when the formal solicitation is released.
