Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) The solicitation for the GLCA 318878 Hite Small Boat Launch design-build effort appears to have a closely related prior contract, with Jacobs Government Services Company as the awardee on contract 140P2023D0006-140P2024F0242 valued at $631,333 (07/16/24–03/31/26). The prior award description references GLCA 318876 and 318878 Low Water Ramp compliance for Antelope & Hite, which suggests work in the same Glen Canyon low water ramp area and likely overlapping design/compliance scope that could carry forward into the Hite small boat launch design-build requirements.
