The USDA Forest Service is requesting quotes to remove and replace an existing concrete bridge over the Ontonagon River (Cisco Branch) near Watersmeet, Michigan with a new 70 foot single-span concrete I-girder bridge. It is a total small business set-aside under FAR Part 12 commercial procedures. Contract length is not stated in the notice text.
Watch out for
- Construction scope with no details in text. Plans, specs, bonding, wage rates and schedule are not in the notice text, so cost and risk are hard to judge.
- Bridge work is heavy construction. Concrete abutments, H-pile foundations and girders in a river need equipment and experienced crews, which can be hard for a small firm.
