About this file

This is a Solicitation, Offer, and Award document for road repair work issued by the USDA Forest Service for the Atmospheric River (AR) Dinkey Lakes Road Repairs project in Fresno County, California's Sierra National Forest. The solicitation (12363N26Q4061) is restricted to Region 5 FERM BPA holders and requests quotes for approximately 56 miles of National Forest road repairs, with work including grading, vegetation cutting, riprap placement, culvert installation, base rock placement, asphalt patching, and gate replacement. All quotes must be submitted electronically to Chad Bullock and James Kaminski by March 17, 2026 at 10:00 AM Mountain Time. The estimated contract value falls between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, with performance scheduled from March 19, 2026 to July 27, 2026 (approximately 120 days). Bid and payment bonds are required for contracts exceeding $35,000, and a performance bond is required for construction projects over that threshold.

The statement of work specifies that the contractor must furnish all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, and supplies necessary for road restoration following atmospheric river damage in 2023, with work restricted to non-holiday weekdays (Monday-Friday, 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM) and subject to fire plan compliance. The evaluation criteria include technical capability (not exceeding 5 pages), relevant past performance for contracts completed within the past five years (not exceeding 5 pages), and price, with evaluation using adjectival ratings (Exceptional, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Unacceptable). Davis-Bacon wage determinations apply, requiring prevailing wages for various trades and classifications specific to California counties. The contractor must obtain a California State Construction License or subcontract to a licensed contractor and must comply with all federal, state, and local laws, including environmental regulations and archaeology monitoring requirements where applicable.

This solicitation implements two FAR class deviations to ensure compliance with Executive Orders 14148, 14173, 14168 and 14208, issued since January 20, 2025. These deviations reflect recent policy updates and remove outdated requirements, as outlined below.

The following FAR provisions and clauses are hereby removed in their entirety from the FERM Stewardship BPA:

• 52.222-21 Prohibition of Segregated Facilities

• 52.222-22 Previous Contracts and Compliance Reports

• 52.222-23 Notice of Requirement for Affirmative Action To Ensure Equal Employment

Opportunity for Construction

• 52.222-24 Preaward On-Site Equal Opportunity Compliance Evaluation

• 52.222-25 Affirmative Action Compliance

• 52.222-26 Equal Opportunity

• 52.222-27 Affirmative Action Compliance Requirements for Construction

• 52.222-29 Notification of visa denial

• 52.223-10 Waste Reduction Program (MAY 2024)

• 52.223-19 Compliance with Environmental Management Systems (MAY 2011)

• 52.223-22 Public Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Reduction Goals—

Representation (DEC 2016)

• 52.222-55 Minimum Wages for Contractor Workers Under Executive Order 14026*

*This provision was removed to comply with the Executive Order titled "Additional Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions," dated March 14, 2025.

The following FAR clauses now include deviations to align with recent Executive Orders:

• 52.204-8 Annual Representations and Certifications (JAN 2025) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Products and

Commercial Services (MAY 2024) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.212-5 Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes or Executive

Orders—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (JAN 2025) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.223-1 Biobased Product Certification (MAY 2024) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.223-2 Reporting of Biobased Products Under Service and Construction Contracts (MAY

2024) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.223-10 Waste Reduction Program (MAY 2024) (DEVIATION FEB 2025)

• 52.223-23, Sustainable Products and Services (MAY 2024 (DEVIATION FEB 2025))

12363N26Q4061 AR Dinkey Lakes Road Repair Page 13 of 159

All call orders will incorporate these changes by reference at award.

Disclaimer: System updates may lag policy updates. The System for Award Management (SAM) may continue to require entities to complete representations based on provisions that are not included in agency solicitations. Examples include 52.222-25, Affirmative Action Compliance, and paragraph (d) of 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Products and Commercial Services. Contracting officers will not consider these representations when making award decisions or enforce requirements. Entities are not required to, nor are they able to, update their entity registration to remove these representations in SAM.

In advancement of Section 2 of Executive Order 14208, the removal of requirements related to Executive Order 14057 eliminates all non-statutory sustainability requirements or preferences in purchases of food service wares, including paper straws. In addition to removing requirements related to Executive Order 14057, the attachment also reflects recent updates to Code of Federal Regulation citations for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s BioPreferred® Program, a statutory purchasing preference program.

These class deviations will remain in effect until rescinded or incorporated into the FAR.

Delete Subsection 106.01 and replace with the following:

106.01 Conformity with Contract Requirements.

Follow the requirements of FAR Clause 52.246-12 InspecƟon of ConstrucƟon.

References to standard test methods of AASHTO, ASTM, GSA, and other recognized standard authoriƟes refer to the methods in effect on the date of solicitaƟon for bids.

Perform all work to the lines, grades, cross-secƟons, dimensions, and processes or material requirements shown on the plans or specified in the contract.

Incorporate manufactured materials into the work according to the manufacturer’s recommendaƟons or to these specificaƟons, whichever is more strict.

Plan dimensions and contract specificaƟon values are the values to be strived for and complied with as the design values from which any deviaƟons are allowed. Perform work and provide material that is uniform in character and reasonably close to the prescribed value or within the specified tolerance range. The purpose of a tolerance range is to accommodate occasional minor variaƟons from the median zone that are unavoidable for pracƟcal reasons.

When standard manufactured items are specified (such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduits, etc., that are idenƟfied by gauge, unit mass, secƟon dimensions, etc.), the idenƟficaƟon will be considered to be nominal masses or dimensions. Unless specific contract tolerances are noted, established manufacturing tolerances will be accepted.

The Government may inspect, sample, or test all work at any Ɵme before final acceptance of the project.

When the Government tests work, copies of test reports are furnished to the Contractor upon request.

Government tests may or may not be performed at the work site. If Contractor tesƟng and inspecƟon is verified by the Government, the Contractor’s results may be used by the Government to evaluate work for acceptance. Do not rely on the availability of Government test results for process control.

Acceptable work conforming to the contract will be paid for at the contract unit bid price. Four methods of determining conformity and accepƟng work are described in SubsecƟons 106.02 to 106.05 inclusive.

The primary method of acceptance is specified in each SecƟon of work. However, work may be rejected at any Ɵme it is found by any of the methods not to comply with the contract.

Remove, repair, or replace work that does not conform to the contract, or to prevailing industry standards where no specific contract requirements are noted. Removing, repairing, or replacing work;

providing temporary traffic control; and any other related work to accomplish conformity will be at no cost to the Government.

(a) Dispu ng Government test results. If the accuracy of Government test results is disputed, promptly inform the CO. If the dispute is unresolved aŌer reasonable steps are taken to resolve the dispute, further evaluaƟon may be obtained by wriƩen request. Include a narraƟve describing the dispute and a proposed resoluƟon protocol that addresses the following:
