Hailey House Water Damage Repair & Mold Remediation

The USDA Forest Service is soliciting bids for comprehensive water damage repair and mold remediation services at the Hailey House, a Forest Service-owned property located at 220 3rd Ave S in Hailey, Idaho. The project scope includes rehabilitating water-damaged walls and ceilings, remediating mold, and conducting lead-based paint and asbestos abatement, with specific requirements for removing approximately 320 square feet of drywall containing lead-based paint and 220 square feet of asbestos-containing fire board. Contractors must have active System for Award Management registration and complete a Contractor Experience Questionnaire detailing their qualifications and previous project experience. The government will evaluate proposals using a best value approach, with past performance, company experience, and price weighted as equal factors. A mandatory pre-proposal site visit was scheduled for August 8, 2025, at 11:00 AM local time, and all proposals must be submitted electronically to Westley.Bisson@usda.gov by August 22, 2025, at 5:00 PM Mountain Time.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, with no incumbent contractors identified in the documentation. The estimated project value ranges between $25,000 and $100,000, with a performance period scheduled from September 1, 2025, to October 31, 2025, allowing contractors a 10-day construction window within this timeframe. The work involves selective demolition of multiple building materials including drywall, fire board, insulation, and flooring, followed by installation of replacement materials and comprehensive mold remediation. All work will be performed at the single location in Hailey, Idaho, within Blaine County, and the house will be unoccupied during construction to facilitate the hazardous material abatement work. The government anticipates issuing an award by August 31, 2025, and has provided detailed asbestos and lead-based paint inspection reports to assist contractors in developing accurate proposals.
