About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service seeks gutter cleaning and repair services for Grey Towers National Historic Site in Milford, Pennsylvania, with quotations due July 30 and questions due July 23. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 561790 with a size standard of $9.0 million.
Place of performance is Milford, PA. The contract covers eight structures: the Mansion main building and three towers, Bait Box, Letterbox, Icehouse, Visitor Pavilion, Gatehouse, and Farmhouse. The Mansion towers require cleaning once annually; all other structures require four cleanings annually. Estimated scope includes approximately 1,882 linear feet of gutters and 695 linear feet of downspouts. The contract also includes gutter repair work up to 50 linear feet annually and heat tape removal and installation up to 50 linear feet, both subject to Contracting Officer Representative approval before commencement. Work must comply with International Building Codes, Forest Service Specifications FP-14, and OSHA regulations, with the more protective requirement applied in cases of conflict. Historic preservation restrictions prohibit anchoring into the historic structure; access constraints exist for larger equipment on east and north facades, and contractors may propose alternative access methods.
The base contract period runs from August 1, 2026, to July 31, 2027, with four optional one-year extensions through July 31, 2031. The contract is firm-fixed price with Service Contract Labor Standards wage requirements. A pre-quote site visit is scheduled for July 21, 2026, at 9:00 AM EST; contact COR Elizabeth Hawke at elizabeth.hawke@usda.gov to notify her of attendees. Evaluation weighs technical approach, past performance (acceptable or neutral), and fair and reasonable pricing; award will not necessarily go to the lowest-priced offeror. Offerors must hold prices firm for 90 days from the due date and submit pricing for all line items across all contract periods to be considered responsive. Amendment 0001, effective July 23, clarifies that drones are prohibited, gutter guards exist only on one section of the Bait Box, electricity is very limited, gutters were last cleaned in Spring 2025, and the government will not mark gutter sections for identification.
