    The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is seeking a contractor for an emergency culvert replacement on Meadow Creek in the San Juan National Forest. The existing 72-inch diameter pipe on West Dolores Road (NFSR 535) at milepost 24.72 has failed, causing erosion and a hazardous road condition.

Key installation details include raising the outlet three feet with a minimum 5% grade and placing rip-rap to protect endangered cutthroat trout. The contractor will be responsible for purchasing and installing the culvert, disposing of removed material off federal land, and managing traffic control with delays not exceeding 30 minutes. Work hours are Monday to Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., excluding federal holidays.

    Attachment 7 - DBA Wage Determination - Dolores_SanMiguel.pdf
    Attachment 8 - Questions.pdf
    This government file addresses questions regarding a road construction project. Key points include that a road closure is not feasible due to the road's importance, necessitating a temporary roadway. Material for this temporary road is available on-site, and it will be rehabilitated rather than deconstructed, serving various vehicles from sedans to horse trailers. Minor vegetation removal is acceptable for its construction. A temporary pipe/culvert is not needed for the primary work area due to space constraints, and no permits are required for the waterway work. The creek has a 5% grade, with open upstream and steeper downstream sections, which should not impede the project.
