About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service is soliciting quotations for the California Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance (FERM) Blanket Purchase Agreement, a comprehensive 10-year contract covering road maintenance and construction services across California's federal forests and grasslands. The solicitation seeks contractors to provide various services including road blading, drainage maintenance, vegetation management, emergency storm damage repairs, and related infrastructure work.

The solicitation will remain open and continuous throughout the 10-year period to add additional vendors as needed.

The contract period extends from early spring 2023 through March 2033, with work anticipated to begin March 15, 2023, and the award notice dated March 7, 2025, indicates that 47 small businesses were awarded contracts across four geographical zones. The place of performance is listed as Vallejo, California, with work spanning terrain ranging from moderate hills to steep grades and soil conditions varying from soft to compacted throughout the state. Contractors are required to furnish all labor, equipment, materials, and incidentals necessary to complete the specified work in compliance with contract terms and specifications.
