GAOA Barracks Renovation Phase 2 Tahoe NF

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service seeks quotations for renovation of barracks buildings across the Tahoe National Forest, with quotations due September 18, 2026 at 12:00 PDT. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside; the small business size standard is $45.0 million under NAICS 236220.

Place of performance includes four barracks locations in the Tahoe National Forest: Sierraville, Big Bend, Foresthill, and Bullards Bar, spanning Sierra, Nevada, Placer, and Yuba Counties in California. Work runs from October 15, 2026 through October 15, 2027, with completion required by May 1, 2027 when buildings become occupied. The contractor must begin performance within 10 calendar days of award and complete all work within 365 calendar days after receiving notice to proceed.

The renovation scope includes roofing replacement with 50-year composition shingles; exterior siding replacement with Hardy backer board and Ben Moore Element Guard paint; flooring replacement with vinyl laminate plank (Palomino Hickory) at most locations, carpet retained only at Bullards Bar; interior door replacement with RELIABILT 24-36 inch by 80-inch solid core 6-panel composite doors; complete bathroom renovation including ceramic tile, vanities, and Sterling Standard framed pivot shower doors; kitchen cabinet replacement with Mantra Omni Door style and Calacatta Greige Corian countertops; baseboard replacement with Roppe Pinnacle Fawn rubber cove base; keypad door locks (Kwikset SmartCode 260); and asbestos mitigation. Contractors must assume asbestos presence in wall textures and flooring but leave asbestos flooring in place and install new flooring on top. No structural drawings are available. The project encompasses six base buildings totaling approximately 10,293 square feet, with four optional buildings available for pricing.

Project magnitude is estimated between $500,000 and $1,000,000 as a firm fixed-price contract. Evaluation criteria are technical approach (ability to meet schedule and SOW requirements), price (fair and reasonable per FAR 12.204), and past performance (acceptable or neutral rating required). Award will be made to the highest technically rated offeror with fair and reasonable pricing and acceptable or neutral past performance; award will not necessarily go to the lowest-priced bidder. Contractors must furnish performance and payment bonds within 10 calendar days after award. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates apply. An organized site visit was scheduled for August 18–20, 2026.

The original solicitation number is 127EAX26Q0088; quotes may be submitted using that number despite the amendment changing the formal solicitation number to 127EAX26Q0100.
