Things to watch (6)
From the version posted Oct 21, 2026.
- Serious: Mandatory pre-bid site inspection. A bid without the inspection is not responsive. The notice gives no inspection date or time; contact USACE Fort Mifflin and check the IFB on GSA Auctions.
- Serious: $10,000 Performance Guarantee. The apparent high bidder must post cash by electronic transfer or an irrevocable standby letter of credit (a bank's promise to pay), which some small businesses cannot arrange quickly.
- Worth checking: Pre-award paperwork after bid opening. The apparent high bidder must supply Appendix B, a Site-Specific Project Execution Plan, insurance documentation and a capability certification before award.

- Worth checking: Heavy on-site work. The work may involve dismantling, cutting, rigging, heavy lifting, loading and transport, so a bidder needs equipment, trained crews and insurance.
- Minor: Quantities are estimates only. The roughly 100 tons is informational and not guaranteed, which affects what a per-pound bid is worth.
- Minor: Recycling only. All material must go to recycling for material recovery; resale or reuse as usable property is prohibited.
