The Federal Highway Administration's Western Federal Lands Division plans to build a prefabricated steel pedestrian bridge and two boardwalks in Far North Bicentennial Park, about 5 miles east of Anchorage, Alaska. This is a pre-solicitation notice; the sealed-bid solicitation is expected in winter 2026/2027, and work should finish in fall 2027. It is open to all businesses.
Who can bid
- No set-aside; open to all businesses
How to submit: Not yet open; follow the opportunity on SAM.gov to be notified when the Invitation for Bids is posted. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch
- 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.
- Minor: Remote Alaska site. Mobilizing crews, materials and a prefabricated bridge to a site near Anchorage may raise costs and add weather and seasonal scheduling risk.
- Minor: Wide price range. The estimate spans $700,000 to $2,000,000, so the true scope may vary; details are in the Project Description attachment.
