Solicitation was amended on 8/23/10 to set a new project completion deadline of July 31, 2011 (original deadline was March 31, 2011). This was done to ensure temperatures within the performance window that are high enough to allow for the bituminous treatment. Anticipated date for issuance of the Notice to Proceed was also moved back from October 1, 2010 to November 1, 2010. This was done to allow the government time to secure a right-of-way for the trailhead approach. Quoters must acknowledge this amendment with their quote. Response deadline was not extended.
