GAOA Frater Lake Cabin Upgrade

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking comprehensive upgrade services for the Frater Lake Cabin and surrounding site located in the Three Rivers Ranger District of Colville National Forest in Pend Oreille County, Washington. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the agency will issue a call request under an existing Forest Service Region 6 FMAC Blanket Purchase Agreement for work that includes furnishing all labor, materials, transportation, equipment, tools, and supplies necessary for facility improvements. The scope encompasses roofing replacement and insulation, window and flooring replacement, wood burning stove and hearth replacement, wood repair and chinking, door repairs, exterior finishing and re-staining, site brushing, access road grading, and utility installations including off-grid solar power systems and propane stove systems. Additional work includes repairing and repainting informational signage and painting a storage shed. The notice emphasizes this is informational only and not a request for quotes, with no evaluation criteria or response deadlines specified at this pre-solicitation stage.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 238160 for Roofing Contractors. The Forest Service explicitly states they are not seeking to add new contractors to the existing BPA and will only consider contractors already established under the current blanket purchase agreement. The project includes an optional item for applying spot rock surfacing to the access road, though no specific budget ranges or award values are disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. No timeline for service completion or specific quantities of materials are provided, as this represents an early-stage notification to inform existing BPA holders of the upcoming opportunity. The work falls under PSC category Z2FA for Repair or Alteration of Family Housing Facilities, indicating the cabin serves residential or lodging purposes within the national forest system.
