12445025Q0003_Amd_0001 Removal of Local Area SetAside.pdf

This is an amendment that removes the local area set-aside restriction from solicitation 12445025Q0003.

The original solicitation, issued by the USDA Forest Service's Southern Research Station in Asheville, NC, requires tree removal services following damage from Hurricane Helene. The work includes removing downed and leaning trees, felling as needed, limbing and bucking trees, and removing understory growth of small trees and shrubs. A site visit is scheduled for January 13th, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. ET at 200 Weaver Blvd., Asheville, NC 28804. The original solicitation was restricted to businesses in Western NC counties in and west of Rutherford, McDowell, and Mitchell counties, but this amendment removes that geographic restriction.
