This document contains notes from a pre-bid meeting for the Vernon Station Renovation project. The Bureau of Land Management is seeking to renovate two bunkhouses located at the Vernon Station to minimize interference with the upcoming fire season, with work to occur between October and March. Renovations will include replacing kitchen cabinets and countertops, installing laminate flooring in designated areas, replacing standard and blackout blinds, installing 1" x 6" MDF baseboard trim, repainting walls and ceilings, replacing all light switches and outlets with USB charger slots in specified rooms, and replacing bathroom fixtures and plumbing hardware. Bidders were provided with a geotechnical report, plumbing and window schedules from original construction drawings, and notified that utilities including power and water would be provided onsite where contractors could stay in campers during the project duration.
