Fall Site Visit for the Ward Lake and Cobbett Campgrounds Waterline Replacement at the Grand Mesa National Forest

Project Summary:

The Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests may issue Solicitation No. 1240LT22R0016 for the Ward Lake and Cobbett Campgrounds Waterline Replacementproject on the Grand Mesa National Forest. This is not a solicitation and in no way commits the Government to award a contract.  The Government does not intend to award a contract(s) based solely on this site visit nor does it intend to pay for any costs incurred in response to this announcement.  The intent of this notice is to ensure that prospective vendors may see the areas prior to heavy snowfall and issuing the solicitation.  This solicitation is anticipated to be issued prior to January 2022.

This project consists of providing materials, equipment, workmanship, and installation of approximately 4600 feet of buried water pipe to serve the Ward Lake and Cobbett Campgrounds. Other work items include replacement of two water hydrants and selective demolition and Contractor Mobilization.

The work anticipated under any contract resulting from the solicitation will be started as soon as conditions on-the-ground are favorable for the prosecution of the work next spring (estimate early June 2022 starting date).
