From the version posted Oct 15, 2026.
- Serious: Small business certified bidders only. Only certified small business concerns may bid; larger firms cannot.
- Worth checking: Work spread across three states and several parks. The work covers many sites in New York, New Hampshire and Massachusetts and is split into multiple work schedules/contract options, which affects crews, equipment and pricing.
- Minor: Escorted access to bid opening. Visitors need a valid photo ID and a Government escort, and unescorted visitors are denied entry.
