The Federal Highway Administration's Western Federal Lands Division wants a contractor to do culvert improvements at the Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge in Washington. This is an Invitation for Bid (sealed bid, lowest price wins) set aside for small businesses. The only attachment that could be read is a short change-order administration document; the bid package and plans were too large to read.

Watch out for

Main bid documents not reviewed. The IFB, plans and physical data were not readable, so bonding, wage rates, schedule, site conditions and award basis are unknown and must be checked before bidding. The Invitation for Bid (IFB), Plans, Physical Data, and the Construction Contract Administration Document per FAR 36.101-4 are posted under attachments.
Change orders have been slow to settle. The agency's own data shows many change-order price adjustments took 91 days or longer to settle, which can tie up a small contractor's cash.
