Demo of Wooden Gauge Monitoring Station Shelter

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Virginia Water Science Center is seeking a contractor to demolish a wooden gauge monitoring station shelter located in Springfield, Virginia. The procurement is a Competitive Request for Quote (RFQ) numbered 140G0125Q0071, soliciting bids for the complete removal of a 5'x5'x8' wooden structure with concrete footings and wooden stairs situated on Fairfax County Park land. The project requires careful dismantling of the structure with strict constraints on land disturbance and minimal use of heavy machinery. Award will be made to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror based on past performance evaluation, with contractors required to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Written quotes are due by April 1, 2025, with an anticipated contract award date of April 9, 2025, and all work must be completed within 90 days of receiving the notice to proceed.

This acquisition is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238910 for Site Preparation Contractors, with a size standard of $19.0 million. The total project value is less than $25,000, positioning it as a small-scale construction effort. The place of performance is in North Springfield, VA 22151, specifically located approximately 50 feet off Danbury Forest Drive on park land. Contractors are strongly encouraged to inspect the site before submitting a quote, and no organized site visit will be held. The project requires working during normal hours of 7:00am-5:00pm Monday-Friday, with the ultimate goal of returning the area to a near-natural state after demolition. The USGS will utilize the Contractor Performance Assessment System (CPARS) to evaluate contractor performance, and no payment or performance bonds are required for this project.
