About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), St. Paul District is soliciting bids for a forest mitigation planting project associated with the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Area Flood Risk Management initiative. The contract requires a contractor to provide comprehensive services including labor, materials, and equipment for planting and maintaining approximately 99 acres of land, with 48 acres designated for new tree, grass, and forb planting and 52 acres requiring invasive species management. Key contract requirements include developing and executing planting, maintenance, and invasive species control plans, with a mandatory 5-year maintenance and monitoring period. Sealed bids are due by February 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central time, with the government evaluating proposals based on compliance with solicitation requirements and contractor qualifications. The NAICS code for this project is 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), with a size standard of $11.5 million.

The solicitation is a Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small businesses can compete for the contract, which will be awarded as a Firm, Fixed-Price agreement. Currently, two interested vendors are Gemcraft Contracting from Minnesota and JB3 Services from California. The contract's performance period spans from contract award through December 31, 2029, with work to be performed in Fargo, North Dakota. The project involves three distinct planting zones: Bank Stabilization (2.3 acres), Floodplain Forest (27.2 acres), and Oak Savanna (18.1 acres), with specific requirements for vegetation density, native species establishment, and invasive species control. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award and complete all necessary representations and certifications. The government will structure payments with 85% issued after initial planting and the remaining 15% tied to meeting performance standards in Years 2, 4, and 5 of the contract.
