ANF FY 25 Road Improvements

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service is soliciting proposals for road maintenance and improvement services on 8.5 miles of unsurfaced roads within the Angeles National Forest, California. The project involves comprehensive road and drainage maintenance including road blading, restoring drainage features, upsizing 13 overside drains, reestablishing rolling dips, installing block mats, corrugated metal spillways, and asphalt pavement patching across multiple forest roads affected by fire and erosion damage over the past 3-5 years. Contractors must possess California state licenses for road repair, obtain necessary permits, and comply with specific work restrictions including Monday-Friday operations between 0700-1900 hours, fire plan guidelines, and archaeological monitoring requirements. The contract will be evaluated using a tradeoff source selection method based on past performance, technical approach, key personnel, performance schedule, and price. All requests for information must be submitted to Contract Specialist Tanya Torres by August 6, 2025, at 11:00 AM PDT, with proposals due August 14, 2025, at 1:00 PM PDT.

This opportunity is set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 237310 with a size standard of $45 million, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. While the specific contract value is not disclosed, the government intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract to the offeror providing the best value to the government. The performance period spans 120 calendar days, with work commencing within 10 calendar days of receiving notice to proceed, scheduled to start in summer 2025. Work will be performed across multiple road sections in the Los Angeles Gateway Ranger Districts, including Big Santa Anita Canyon, Gould Mesa Road, Brown Mountain Road, Millard Canyon Road, Texas Canyon Road, and Colby Ranch Road. The terrain varies from relatively flat to moderately hilly and steep areas, with soil conditions ranging from soft and sandy to compacted and extremely rocky, requiring specialized equipment such as bulldozers instead of motor graders due to the challenging rocky terrain.
