Boardwalk Materials for Bear River NWR

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is procuring boardwalk materials for the Bear River National Wildlife Refuge in Brigham City, Utah under solicitation 140FGA25Q0056. This firm fixed-price contract requires the supply of Permatrak materials or equivalent for constructing boardwalk piers, including an integral 316 stainless steel railing system with handrails, posts, cables, support brackets, hardware, toe boards, and two four-foot lockable gates on the west boardwalk. Additionally, the contract specifies a comprehensive LED lighting system using LumenPod 16 or approved equal that must be night sky compliant with specific technical requirements including 2700K color temperature and IP54 ratings. The evaluation will use Lowest-Price Technically-Acceptable (LPTA) criteria, with technical capability and past performance weighted lower than price. The proposal due date has been extended twice through amendments, with the final deadline set for September 3, 2025 at 12:00 PM PST, and delivery required by September 30, 2025.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238120 for Structural Steel and Precast Concrete Contractors. No incumbent contractors are specifically mentioned in the solicitation documents, though this represents a reposting of reference number 140FGA25Q0022 due to changes in the statement of work. The contract includes two line items covering West Boardwalk Piers and East Boardwalk Piers, with the period of performance running from August 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025. Materials must be delivered to the employee parking lot area east of the building at 2155 W Forest Street in Brigham City, Utah, with contractors responsible for identifying heavy equipment weights and preferred lifting solutions. The project involves completely removing and replacing existing boardwalks that connect the parking lot to the visitor center, funded through the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA).
