About this file

This is Amendment A00001 to Solicitation 127EAW26Q0052 issued by the USDA Forest Service, Procurement Operations, Construction and A-E Division West, effective August 4, 2026. The amendment posts responses to a Request for Information (RFI) for the Pine Canyon Barracks Replacement project and incorporates the "127EAW26Q0052 - RFI Log" into any subsequent contract award. Offerors must use the revised documents and requirements or their proposals will be deemed non-responsive.

The RFI Log addresses six inquiries and one "or equal" fabricated home manufacturer approval request. Key clarifications include: the contractor must disconnect and reconnect water, sewer, electrical, and gas utilities; the existing power pole will not be replaced; no concrete or asphalt work is required; the new barracks dimensions are 26.8 feet by 56 feet (distinguishing from the existing 26.6 by 52 feet structure); and site visits remain available. The government approved Cavco Manufacturing, LLC's Coronado model (220CO-Coronado-28563S) as an acceptable "or equal" substitute, provided it is customized to a 4-bedroom barracks-style configuration matching the solicitation drawings. The solicitation number is 127EAW26Q0052, dated July 22, 2026, and responses must acknowledge receipt of this amendment prior to the deadline specified in the original solicitation.
