- Repair of road slope failures
- Restoration of drainage features
- Removal of fallen trees and debris
- Stabilization of damaged roadway infrastructure
- Restoration of essential travel routes.

These services are critical due to damages caused by a recent disaster event.

Period of Performance
The period of performance will be determined based on the urgency of the repairs needed following the disaster.

Place of Performance
Western Montana District, specifically Missoula County.

Bidder Requirements
Bidders must demonstrate unique qualifications that justify the use of other than full and open competition. This includes having capabilities that align with emergency repair requirements as directed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior award 140L3626P0018, awarded to Hatt & Son Logging for $269,450 (06/09/26–08/30/26). The prior award description is the same “Missoula BLM Roads Fallen Tree and Debris Removal,” indicating the work scope—emergency removal of fallen trees/debris and related road access restoration in the Missoula area—likely represents a continuation or repeat execution under the ERFO emergency road repair context.
