Things to watch (9)
From the version posted Oct 13, 2026.
- Serious: Only six named MATOC holders may bid. The SAM.gov set-aside field is blank, but the solicitation says only contractors awarded one of the six IDIQ contracts will be considered. Other businesses can only seek subcontract work.
- Serious: Bid bond required or the bid is rejected. A valid bid bond with a power of attorney must go in with the proposal. The bond percentage is in clause 52.228-1, which is in the part of the file not read.
- Worth checking: Paper proposal only. Proposals must be printed and delivered to the Vancouver, Washington office. Electronic proposals will not be accepted, though a bid can be changed or withdrawn by email before the due time.
Show all 9Show fewer
- Worth checking: Lane closures on westbound I-90 limited to May 1 to July 31. Closing a lane or shoulder is allowed only in that window, with 14 days notice and an Idaho Transportation Department permit requested at least 45 days before work in its right-of-way. Holiday and weekend blackouts also apply.
- Worth checking: Rockfall protection work plan due 30 days before slope work. The winner must get a written approval for a temporary rockfall protection plan, with manufacturer experience records, before starting bridge, excavation or on-slope work.
- Worth checking: Davis-Bacon wage decision included but not read. Davis-Bacon sets federal minimum wages for construction workers. The general wage decision is part of the solicitation (page D-1) but falls in the middle of the file that was not read.
- Minor: No organized site visit, no Government-provided permits. Project limits are not marked and Government staff will not give tours. The Government supplies no permits, and material sources are not identified.
- Minor: Questions close five days before the response due date. General and technical questions are accepted only until close of business five days before the due date.
- Minor: Late schedule submittals trigger a payment withholding. After award, 10 percent of progress payments is held back if a schedule submittal is late or not yet approved.
