Bidders are required to demonstrate experience with at least five similar projects and provide a detailed project approach. The bid was opened on September 15, 2020, and closed on October 22, 2020, with Vicki Woodrow serving as the project contact. Evaluation criteria include compliance with Montana prevailing wage rates, construction contractor registration, and gross receipts tax withholding requirements.

Funding for the project is sourced through state environmental remediation resources, with payment terms set at Net 30 and transactions conducted in US Dollars. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive nature of the reclamation project suggests a substantial investment in environmental remediation.
