SUMMARY The Denali Commission, in cooperation with the Village of Kwigillingok and the Western Federal Lands Highway Division of the Federal Highway Administration, plans to improve Kuicuaq Slough subsistence trail within Kwigillingok Village. Kwigillingok Village is a Yup'ik Eskimo village located on the western shore of the Kuskokwim Bay near the mouth of the Kwigillingok River (Township 4S, Range 81W, NE 1/4 Sec 1, NW 1/4 & SW 1/4 Sec 2).

The purpose of this procurement is to provide the materials and expertise for construction of a structural mat pavement system on the Kuicuaq Slough subsistence trail. The structural mat pavement system must lay on top of the tundra without any excavation required for installation. This will allow year round access to the route while minimizing damage to the tundra caused by ATV use. Installation/construction of the structural mat pavement system will be done by Kwigillingok Village. REQUIREMENT DETAILS This procurement is to provide and deliver all structural mat pavement system materials, three sets of all installation tool sets, and one set of manufacture installation instructions necessary for construction of the structural mat pavement system.
