Indefinite Delivery Contract 12444324D0001

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Eastern Region awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Evers Carl, a small business based in Warren, Pennsylvania. The $247,608.96 contract, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2028, is set aside for small businesses and covers the maintenance of approximately 98 miles of deer exclosure fencing across the Allegheny National Forest. Under this IDC, Evers Carl will perform tasks such as inspecting, repairing, and removing/installing new fencing to support the Forest Service's land management and public recreation access goals in the Allegheny National Forest. Additionally, Evers Carl holds two single-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, also set aside for small businesses, to provide ongoing fence maintenance services in the Bradford and Marienville Ranger Districts of the Allegheny National Forest, with ceiling values of $150,000 each and ultimate completion dates of December 31, 2023. The work under these IDVs is crucial for preventing erosion, protecting wildlife habitats, and enabling public access on National Forest lands.

The original solicitation, which was set aside for small businesses, sought proposals for an IDIQ contract to provide deer fence maintenance services on the Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania. The Forest Service required offerors to demonstrate experience maintaining deer exclusion fencing and submit pricing to perform monthly inspections and repairs to fences on the Marienville and Bradford Ranger Districts. Proposals were to be evaluated based on past performance, technical qualifications, price, and socioeconomic factors. The work, performed in Warren, Pennsylvania, involves repairing holes, reattaching loose wires, clearing debris, and ensuring fence integrity across 98 miles of fencing.
