Quick Summary
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Oregon State Office, is soliciting proposals for OHV Trail Tread Maintenance services within its Northwest Oregon District. This Total Small Business Set-Aside opportunity involves maintaining approximately 55 miles of Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) trails.

Scope of Work
The contractor will perform tread maintenance on OHV trails, including grading, rock armoring, and constructing grade reversals. This requires furnishing all necessary labor, equipment fuel, motorized and non-motorized hand tools, and supplies such as gravel and rock materials. Contractors must also transport equipment to and from project sites, develop an Access Control and Public Safety Plan, and adhere to hazardous material containment and fire prevention requirements. The BLM will provide a Sutter 500 trail machine with a transport trailer, rock hauler/buggy, mini loader, and plate compactor. However, the Sutter 500 cannot be used on Class 3 trails, requiring handwork or smaller equipment.
