127EAW25R0042 - Monument Road Repair 4N47

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking contractors to repair roads damaged by the Monument Fire in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, specifically focusing on the 4N47 (Monument Road/Corral Bottom Road) repair project. The scope includes asphalt road replacement, vegetation removal, base repairs, full depth reclamation, and related construction activities across approximately 10.23 miles of roadway, with work including mobilization, clearing and grubbing, aggregate base installation, roadway reconditioning, asphalt overlay, chip sealing, pothole repair, traffic control, and sign installation. The government will evaluate proposals using a tradeoff process with technical factors weighted approximately equally to price, utilizing an adjectival rating system to assess technical proposals, business proposals, past performance, and pricing. Contractors must submit electronic proposals by 1300 PST on August 5, 2025, including five separate document attachments: Standard Form 1442, price proposal, business proposal, technical proposal, and bid guarantees. All requests for information were required to be submitted to Contracting Officer Greg Cunningham by July 21, 2025, with two rounds of RFI responses already posted as amendments to the solicitation.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), with an estimated project value between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. No current incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The contract includes a mandatory 75-calendar day performance period with an anticipated start date in late summer 2025, though RFI responses indicate a potential Spring/Summer 2026 start date contingent on meeting specific temperature requirements. Work is restricted to non-holiday weekdays from 0700-1900 hours and includes specific requirements for archaeological monitoring, utility protection, and debris disposal. The project will be performed in Big Bar, California, within the Shasta-Trinity National Forest in Trinity County, with the work sites being publicly accessible for contractor inspection prior to proposal submission.
