GAOA SUF Bunkhouse Replacement at Seagull Guard Station.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service is procuring the demolition of an existing bunkhouse and construction of a new prefabricated modular bunkhouse at the Seagull Guard Station located at 11456 Gunflint Trail in Grand Marais, Minnesota. The project requires a contractor to provide all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary to complete the bunkhouse replacement, including site work, utilities connections, and final construction to deliver a fully functional facility. Contractors must maintain active System for Award Management registration and provide a 20% bid guarantee with their proposals. The evaluation will use a tradeoff process where non-price factors (past performance, experience, and proposed plan of work) are equally important and collectively weighted equally to price. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on July 30, 2025, at 10:00 AM local time at the project site, and the proposal submission deadline has been extended to August 28, 2025, through Amendment 0001.

This acquisition is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with no incumbent contractors identified in the documentation. The project value is estimated between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, with a firm fixed-price contract structure anticipated for award. The new bunkhouse will be approximately 2,360 square feet and designed to accommodate 12 occupants with modern amenities including kitchen facilities, multiple bedrooms, bathroom facilities, and mechanical systems. The performance period runs from September 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with a project completion date of September 30, 2025. All work will be performed at the Seagull Guard Station in Grand Marais, Minnesota, within the Superior National Forest in Cook County, and the facility is designed for seasonal use from approximately April to October.
