The Montana Transportation Commission will consider awarding a construction contract later this month for a new rest area near Three Forks to replace the existing facility at the 19th Avenue/Interstate 90 interchange in Bozeman.
Bids for the project were opened last week, and on Friday the Department of Transportation identified the âbest value teamâ as C.A. Rickert & Associates, Inc. and Diamond Construction, Inc., according to William Fogarty, MDT district administrator.
The potential project âwas born from a request from the city of Bozeman some time ago,â Fogarty said. Bozeman officials felt the rest area doesnât suit the 19th Avenue site any longer because of significant commercial and industrial development in the area.
