Z--GAOA SOUTH PRYOR ROADS

The Bureau of Land Management, Montana State Office, is seeking qualified small business contractors to perform road restoration work on approximately 13 miles of Gyp Springs and Helt Roads in Carbon County, Montana, under a firm-fixed-price contract valued between $500,000 and $1,000,000. The project requires comprehensive earthwork including grading, excavation, embankment construction, and placement of Crushed Aggregate Surfacing Grade 2 to reestablish the road’s typical section, drainage, and structural integrity. Additional work includes erosion and sediment control measures, stormwater pollution prevention plan documentation, topsoil placement, seeding, and compliance with applicable environmental regulations. All work must adhere to detailed technical specifications divided into ten divisions covering soil erosion control, earthwork, aggregate materials, and incidental construction, with strict adherence to ASTM standards for material testing and surveying. The Contractor must provide independent testing reports, conduct precise surveying and staking, and maintain public access to trails, roads, farms, and parking areas throughout construction. The contract is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 237310 with a size standard of $45 million, and only firms registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) may submit proposals. Proposals must be submitted electronically by the deadline of August 17, 2026, and must include a capabilities statement, SAM number, socio-economic certifications, and a review of the contract drawings and specifications highlighting potential issues. No off-site communications with government personnel are permitted during the solicitation period, and all inquiries must be directed in writing to the Contracting Officer at jalvarez@ios.doi.gov. A mandatory site visit is strongly encouraged, and failure to inspect the site will not excuse performance issues after award. The Contractor is responsible for securing all permits beyond those already obtained by the government, protecting monuments and private property, and operating within defined construction limits. Payment will be made exclusively through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), and no progress payments will be issued until a detailed construction schedule is approved. The contractor must submit a comprehensive schedule within 14 days of notice to proceed, detailing work durations, staffing, shifts, material delivery timelines, and subcontractor roles. Final acceptance is contingent upon visual inspection and written confirmation by the Contracting Officer’s Representative, after which the contractor’s responsibility for project maintenance is relieved.
