About this award
The Bureau of Land Management Colorado Region awarded a $283,524 firm fixed-price contract to Cooley & Sons Excavating, Inc., a small business based in Mosca, Colorado, for campground improvements at the Zapata Falls Recreation Site in Alamosa County. The project involves converting existing day-use picnic areas into full campgrounds through excavation, earthen material placement, rock retention wall construction, and installation of infrastructure including 14 picnic tables, 14 fire rings, 2 bear-proof trash cans, timber steps, and aggregate surfacing. The contract was awarded on August 27, 2025, with performance originally scheduled through December 15, 2025; however, a modification executed prior to award adjusted the completion date to May 30, 2026 to allow work completion in the spring season. This Total Small Business Set-Aside contract is part of the BLM's recreation site development initiatives under the Federal Lands Access Program framework.
Cooley & Sons Excavating, Inc. is an established federal contractor with significant experience supporting Department of the Interior agencies, including multiple prior BLM awards for infrastructure and land management projects throughout the San Luis Valley region. The company maintains a $470,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with the BLM Colorado Region through August 31, 2026, which has generated over $369,000 in task orders for heavy equipment and recreation site work. The contractor's demonstrated expertise in excavation, equipment services, and specialized land management infrastructure positions it well to execute this campground development project, which will enhance recreational opportunities at the Zapata Falls site approximately 29 miles northwest of Alamosa.
