Z--READING ISLAND PAVING REPAIRS_REDDING

The BLM Redding Field Office is preparing to solicit bids for pavement rehabilitation at Reading Island Campground, a high-use recreational area in California, where aging infrastructure has deteriorated significantly after more than 30 years without major repairs. The project will address extensive cracking, potholes, and full-depth pavement failures in the parking lot and site roads, along with unsafe shoulder drop-offs, through targeted full-depth repairs and a two-lift asphalt overlay to restore functionality and enhance safety for visitors engaged in camping, boating, hiking, and wildlife viewing. The work is to be completed within 60 days of notice to proceed, and the procurement is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR Part 19.5, exclusively available to small businesses sized under $45 million as defined by NAICS code 237310 for Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction. The solicitation, numbered 140L1226R0006, is anticipated to be released between early and mid-June 2026 with a response deadline of June 2, 2026, and will be issued electronically via SAM.gov without paper or email distribution. Offerors must be actively registered in SAM and have completed the required Representations and Certifications to be eligible for award. The contract is projected to be a firm fixed price award valued between $500,000 and $1,000,000, subject to Davis Bacon Act wage requirements and the Buy American Act for all materials. A mandatory site visit will be scheduled within the solicitation package, and bidders are strongly encouraged to attend to properly assess site conditions that may impact proposal development and construction execution. Evaluation will be based on best value to the government under FAR guidelines, and this pre-solicitation notice does not obligate the government to award a contract or reimburse proposal costs.
