Zak Dirt Inc holds **$37.3M** in remaining backlog across four active projects, including **$22.4M** on the I70 widening and **$10.6M** on SH 7 improvements, supporting steady cash flow through mid-2026. Recent 2026 wins totaling **$47.8M** at a 28.6% success rate indicate improved bidding momentum that should sustain operations in the near term.
Medium-term Outlook (6-12 months)
Continued execution of the **$6.4M** US 287 and **$3.7M** Pace Street projects will draw down backlog, requiring new awards to maintain volume beyond early 2027. Elevated 2026 bidding activity of **$85.4M** total provides a pipeline that could offset the low **$1.6M** in 2025 wins if success rates hold near 30%.
Key Risk Period
A potential gap emerges in late 2026 if the current **$37.3M** backlog depletes without additional low bids, echoing the zero wins recorded in 2024. Extended contract durations on active projects heighten exposure to cost escalation and delayed payments during this transition.
Recommendations
Prioritize aggressive bidding on 8-10 additional opportunities quarterly to rebuild backlog above **$50M**. Implement monthly cash flow tracking tied to the four active projects to mitigate duration-related risks.
