Fence & Stump Removal Services

The National Park Service, on behalf of the Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center, is soliciting fence and stump removal services at Hains Point Golf Course in Washington, DC, with quotations due August 17, 2026, and questions due August 13, 2026. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside.

The work involves removal of approximately 1,120 fence posts and 2,000 tree stumps along a 2.1-mile chain link fence perimeter through grubbing extraction rather than grinding, to be completed within 30 calendar days of award. Place of performance is Hains Point Golf Course, Washington, DC.

The solicitation requires an ASCA-certified or ISA-certified arborist to determine which trees are protected and which stumps and posts can be removed, with approximately 70 percent of work expected within the Critical Root Zone of protected trees. Contractors must comply with tree care industry standards, perform utility location and hand excavation within 18 inches of marked utilities, backfill with approved topsoil and seed or stabilize on the same day as extraction, provide daily before/during/after photographs, implement traffic control measures, and submit a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. The NAICS code is 561730 (Landscaping Services, $9.5 million size standard) and PSC is S208 (Housekeeping–Landscaping/Groundskeeping).

Award will be Firm Fixed Price on a tradeoff basis where non-price factors—technical capability and past performance combined—are more important than price. Quotations must include technical capability, staffing qualifications with ISA-certified arborist credentials, three years of past performance references, and separate pricing with stated assumptions. Service Contract Act wage determinations apply for Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Maryland.
