CA-SDBNWR Sweetwater Marsh Fiber Roll Installation

The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service seeks supply, delivery, and installation of approximately 1,900 linear feet of jute-covered, weed-free rice straw fiber rolls for erosion control at the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge Sweetwater Marsh Unit in Chula Vista, California, with quotations due September 4, 2026, at 12:00 PM Pacific Time. This is a Total Small Business set-aside using FAR Part 12 simplified acquisition procedures.

The work spans two locations: 1,200 linear feet along Connector Marsh and 700 linear feet at Burn Ash Deposit #1. The fiber rolls are 9-inch diameter with wooden stakes and must comply with Caltrans SC-5 standards except that trenching is prohibited. Performance runs from September 30, 2026, through February 15, 2027. The quoted price shall be firm-fixed and include all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, transportation, delivery, installation, site logistics, quality control, and cleanup.

The work area contains potentially contaminated soils; the contractor is responsible for employee safety training and appropriate personal protective equipment. Vendors must demonstrate relevant experience with fiber-roll or erosion-control installations and provide past performance references. Government inspection and acceptance will verify conformance to the Statement of Work before final payment.

Award will be made to the responsible vendor offering the best overall value based on comparative evaluation of technical capability and relevant experience, past performance, and price, with non-price factors significantly outweighing price considerations.
