This is a small business set-aside construction contract for excavation services to repair a 2-inch water pipeline crossing Reed Coulee in Fergus County, Montana.

The project magnitude is between $10,000 and $25,000, under a firm fixed-price contract. A site visit is strongly encouraged to understand site conditions. All communication must go through the contract specialist, with direct contact with government employees prohibited during the solicitation period.
