Chattahoochee-Oconee Boundary Line Maintenance

The Chattahoochee-Oconee Boundary Line Maintenance Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the United States Forest Service on June 13, 2014, provides boundary line maintenance and management services for the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest in Georgia. The contract supports critical land management activities involving boundary line identification, marking, and documentation, which includes refurbishing property line markings, repainting marked trees, securing boundary signs, maintaining corner monuments, and updating official Forest Service documentation. The master contract has a shared ceiling value of $500,000 and allows for flexible task order issuance across multiple ranger districts within the national forest.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently focus on boundary line maintenance across different ranger districts, including the Blue Ridge, Chattooga River, Oconee, and Conasauga Ranger Districts. The task orders typically range from $3,000 to $57,000 in value, with most having an ultimate completion date of April 15 in their respective fiscal years. Virtually all task orders were set aside as Total Small Business designations, suggesting a strong emphasis on supporting smaller contractors. The work typically involves maintaining specific lengths of boundary lines (commonly 6-15 miles) and documenting corner markers, with most task orders completed within 6-12 months. The consistent use of firm fixed pricing and the granular, project-specific nature of the task orders indicate a structured approach to managing forest boundary maintenance across the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest.
