The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $17,406.26 firm fixed-price purchase order to Double R Construction, LLC for siding replacement work at the San Andres National Wildlife Refuge in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The contract, awarded on August 15, 2024, with completion targeted for October 11, 2024, encompasses the removal of existing siding and installation of new hardboard siding on a mobile home housing unit located on the refuge property in Dona Ana County. The project was set aside exclusively for small business concerns, and the contractor was required to complete all work within 60 calendar days of receiving the Notice to Proceed.
The contract opportunity was solicited on June 10, 2024, with proposals due by July 3, 2024, and was evaluated on a best value basis considering price, technical approach, and past performance. The Fish and Wildlife Service, which manages the San Andres National Wildlife Refuge as part of its conservation mission, estimated the project magnitude at less than $25,000. The single mobile home housing unit upgrade supports the refuge's operational infrastructure and employee accommodations at this New Mexico facility.
