Camptonville Housing Decommissioning

The USDA Forest Service seeks quotations under Solicitation 127EAX27Q0010 for decommissioning the Camptonville Housing complex on the Tahoe National Forest, with quotes due November 27, 2026 at 5:00 PM PST. The acquisition is a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS 238910, with a $19 million size standard.

Work is performed at Tahoe National Forest in Nevada City, California, with barracks sites in Yuba, Nevada, and Placer Counties, California. The scope includes demolishing and dismantling barracks and other buildings, removing lead paint, asbestos, and animal feces, hauling all debris and waste off-forest, and disconnecting and capping power, sewer, and water. The Schedule of Items covers mobilization plus six residential structures and one cabin, totaling an estimated 5,953 square feet, with quantities subject to field verification by the contractor. Personnel must be licensed to install scheduled items in California.

Contractors must begin work within 10 calendar days of notice to proceed and complete all work, including final cleanup, within 90 calendar days. Barracks are generally occupied May through October, so typically only one building is available at a time, and all buildings must remain functional while occupied. Bidders submit a proposed schedule with their bid. Technical proposals must state whether a metal roofing system rated for existing purlin span or additional sheathing will be used. Optional alternatives require demonstrated cost savings or superior performance.

The award is a firm fixed-price contract to a single contractor, with an estimated price range of $100,000 to $250,000. A 20% bid guarantee on SF-24 is required for quotes exceeding $150,000. Offers remain firm for 90 calendar days after the due date.

Evaluation uses lowest price technically acceptable criteria. The lowest-priced offer is evaluated first, and if it fails, evaluation proceeds sequentially until an offer is both technically acceptable and rated acceptable or neutral on past performance. Technical proposals must demonstrate capability, describe planned subcontractors, provide work sequencing with timelines, identify planned resources and equipment, and include three references for similar projects completed within the past three years. Contractors must be registered in SAM.gov at quote submission.

Submit three separate Adobe PDFs (completed SF1442, price proposal, and technical proposal with past performance) to james.hunt@usda.gov and pps.proposals@usda.gov. Organized site visits are scheduled for October 28 through 29, 2026, beginning at 631 Coyote Street, Nevada City, California. Questions are due November 5, 2026 at 5:00 PM PST. Site visit scheduling is handled by Assistant Forest Engineer Cesar Villa at (530) 966-6183.
