The Department of Agriculture, specifically the Forest Service, is preparing to issue a solicitation for the crushing and stockpiling of approximately 10,000 to 20,000 cubic yards of surface course aggregate at the Hiner Pit in the White River National Forest, Colorado. This pre-solicitation notice serves to inform potential vendors about a site visit scheduled for October 10, 2024, which will allow them to familiarize themselves with the project site before the official solicitation expected in February or March of 2025. The anticipated work is crucial for maintaining the infrastructure within the national forest and is expected to commence in late June 2025, contingent upon favorable conditions. Interested parties should confirm their attendance for the site visit with the White River Engineering Office and are reminded that the total project cost is estimated between $250,000 and $500,000, with no costs incurred by the Government for this visit.
