This Statement of Work (SOW) details the Munising Warehouse Overhead Door Construction Project for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service on the Hiawatha National Forest in Munising, Michigan. The project involves renovating an existing 1940s CCC Warehouse used for fire engine storage and wildfire staging, with key modifications including demolishing three existing overhead doors, removing interior columns, installing new glulam garage door headers, and adding two new 13-foot wide by 9-foot high galvanized steel sectional overhead doors with electric operators.

The project is set aside for small businesses and will be governed by Davis-Bacon and Related Acts. The contract requires a 45-calendar day completion timeline, with the contractor required to start work within 10 days of the Notice to Proceed. Specific requirements include installing medium-duty electric door openers, providing safety photo eyes, wall operators, and handheld transmitters, and painting new columns safety yellow. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for 8/18/26 at 11:00 am EST at the warehouse location, and all contractors must be active in SAM.gov to be eligible for award.
