The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), under the Department of Transportation, has issued a Solicitation for the WY FLAP SHE 26(1), Red Grade Road, Phase 1 project. This opportunity seeks to improve access to the Bighorn National Forest and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands in Wyoming through comprehensive roadway rehabilitation, widening, and minor realignment of Red Grade Road (County Road 26/USFS Route FSR 26). The project aims to address substandard roadway sections, geometrics, and safety issues. This is a Full & Open Competition with HUBZone Price Preference, with an estimated value between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000. Offers are due by February 24, 2026.

Scope of Work

The project involves extensive roadway reconstruction, widening, minor realignment, and significant drainage improvements. Key deliverables include:

  • Roadway Construction: Clearing and grubbing, excavation, embankment construction, and the addition of gravel surfacing (4 inches of crushed aggregate base).
  • Structural Elements: Installation of rock buttresses, rockeries, and placed riprap for slope stability and erosion control.
  • Drainage: Culvert replacement, upsizing, and minor realignment, including riprap aprons at outlets and headwalls at inlets. Hydraulic analysis details specific culvert recommendations and ditch improvements with riprap lining.
