Synopsis: Tactical Vehicle Railbed Improvement.

The purpose of this synopsis is to gain knowledge of potential sources for this project including interested Small Business sources. This notice is for planning purposes only. All interested parties should respond.

The Ohio Army National Guard intends to issue a solicitation and award of a contract to improve existing railbeds at the CJAG in Ravenna, Ohio. These improvements are intended to increase access for tactical vehicles to training secluded training areas.
