The Federal Highway Administration's Western Federal Lands Highway Division plans a two-phase design-build renovation of its main office building and site in Vancouver, Washington. The government estimates $25 to $35 million. The formal solicitation is expected in summer 2026; this notice is an early heads-up.
Watch out for
- Large project size. A $25-35 million design-build job needs strong bonding capacity and relevant past performance, which may be hard for a small business to meet alone.
Estimated Price Range: $25 Million to $35 Million
- Hazardous materials. Asbestos and lead-based paint must be assessed and abated before renovation, adding cost, specialty work and schedule risk.
Assessment and abatement of hazardous materials, such as asbestos and lead-based paint, are required before renovations.
- Project may change or be canceled. The notice warns the project and solicitation could be changed, delayed or canceled, so bid preparation spend is at risk.
This project and/or the anticipated solicitation may be changed, delayed, or canceled at any time.
