Coconino and Kaibab NF Road Maintenance 2016-2021

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 3-Southwestern Region established this Master IDIQ on July 13, 2016 to provide routine road maintenance services for the Coconino and Kaibab National Forests in northern Arizona, including surface blading, culvert and cattleguard cleaning, roadside brush removal, hazard tree removal, and mowing. Ordering closed on May 31, 2018, making this vehicle inactive for nearly eight years.

The vehicle is closed to new orders and no longer a pursuit opportunity. The last task order was awarded in July 2019, with no ordering activity since the May 2018 cutoff. The solicitation was fully set-aside for Total Small Business, and all 12 task orders issued under the vehicle were awarded to small business contractors.

Two firms captured all awarded work: Barkley Excavating, LLC received 7 orders totaling $163 thousand in combined potential value, and Larry Rose Construction, L.L.C. received 5 orders totaling $162 thousand. All 12 orders funded the same contracting agency. About 67 percent of orders carried no set-aside designation, while 33 percent were awarded under Total Small Business restrictions.

Task order values ranged from approximately $18.4 thousand to $37.6 thousand, with most orders valued between $24 thousand and $34 thousand. All delivery orders used firm fixed-price pricing. The combined task-order potential value across all 12 orders was $325 thousand, with $295 thousand (91 percent) already obligated. Individual task orders typically carried completion dates of 6 to 12 months from award, with seasonal scheduling patterns (summer and fall maintenance cycles).

The Forest Service intends to award indefinite delivery requirements contract(s) to provide routine road maintenance services on an as-needed basis for the Coconino and Kaibab National Forests, for a base period with four optional periods. Services include surface blading, culvert and cattleguard cleaning, roadside brush removal, hazard tree removal, and mowing. Kaibab and Coconino National Forests are located in northern Arizona.
