- Serious: Only the six MATOC holders can bid. Proposals are accepted only from H-K Contractors, M.A. Deatley Construction, Missouri River Contractors, Oftedal Construction, Riverside Contracting and Sundt Construction; any other business can only seek subcontract work.
- Worth checking: No site visit scheduled; viewing the project in fall is encouraged. Offerors are encouraged to view the project in fall as conditions permit, and the letter says access may not be available after November 1, 2026. No Federal Highway Administration staff will give show-me tours.
- Minor: No offer due date yet; solicitation expected Winter 2026/2027. This is a presolicitation with no response date. The request for proposals, specifications and plans are to be posted later; use the follow button on SAM.gov to be notified.

- Minor: Two bid schedules; only one is awarded. Schedule A uses a 22-foot pavement width and Schedule B a 30-foot width, and Option Z adds more work, so bidders need to price each as the solicitation sets out.
