Z -- Spotted Bear River Trail No. 83 on the Flathead NF

The Flathead National Forest is preparing to issue a solicitation for construction and reconstruction work on the Spotted Bear River Trail No. 83, located within the Spotted Bear Ranger District in Flathead County, Montana. The project involves approximately 3.8 miles of trail work, including tasks such as clearing and grubbing, excavation, switchback construction, tread repair, installation of waterbars, ditches, culverts, turnpike construction and repair, as well as shallow stream ford work. While the solicitation is not yet available and is anticipated to be released in the winter of 2003, contingent on funding availability, interested parties are encouraged to conduct site visits before winter conditions make access difficult. Relevant project documents, including maps and an estimated summary of quantities, can be obtained from the Flathead National Forest. Administration of the contract falls under the Department of Agriculture through the Lolo National Forest office based in Missoula, Montana. The official solicitation number is RFQ_R1-10-03_3, and it was posted on August 30, 2002. Although no pre-bid tour is planned, prospective contractors may independently explore the project area to better understand the scope of work. For additional information or inquiries, Barbara E Venturini serves as the point of contact and can be reached via email or phone. The contract opportunity and related materials are accessible online through the government’s contracting portal.
