The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting bids for the rehabilitation of the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge's South Loop Autotour. The project involves the construction of a new parking lot and the rehabilitation of the existing autotour road. The contract will be a firm-fixed-price contract with a hybrid pricing mechanism, which includes both lump-sum and unit-price components. The bidder must provide prices for two base lump-sum items, as well as a detailed cost breakdown for the required divisions and subdivisions.

The government will evaluate the bids based on the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) criteria. Some key aspects of the project include: • The construction of a new parking lot • The rehabilitation of the existing autotour road • The provision of unit prices for additional authorized excavation and aggregate surface work • The requirement for a detailed cost breakdown for the required divisions and subdivisions • The evaluation of bids based on the LPTA criteria
