The equipment will need to be used onsteep terrain and in difficult working conditions. Access to some work sites or portions of work sites, will require operator skill and dexterity to minimize access impacts. The size of excavations associated with this work can range from less than one hundred cubic yards to several thousand cubic yards in volume. Heavy equipment work is typically limited to 50-55 hours per week with at least two days off in any two-week period and will only be permitted between sunrise and sunset. It is expected that work will start approximately September 16 and complete not later than 45 days thereafter. The estimated price range is between $100,000 and $250,000. The Invitation for Bid will become available approximately July 20 with bids due 30 days after issuance.
