Who can bid
- No set-aside is used for this notice
Things to watch (4)
- Worth checking: No show-me tours; site viewing may be hard in winter. Bidders are encouraged (not required) to view the site on their own, but winter conditions may prevent it and no agency staff will lead tours, so pricing relies mostly on preliminary plans.
- Worth checking: Solicitation not yet issued. Only preliminary plans and a quantity list are posted, so bonding, bid and insurance requirements and the exact bid date are not known yet.
- Worth checking: Specialized in-water and remote work. Engineered log jams with dolosse, temporary stream diversion and riprap in a river corridor within a national park require specialized experience and equipment, and the site is remote.
Show all 4Show fewer
- Worth checking: Davis-Bacon wages likely apply. Federal construction over $2,000 in the U.S. pays at least the Davis-Bacon wage rates in the wage determination attached to the solicitation. This summary doesn't name one: find it on SAM.gov and price your labor from it.
