Jerseydale Work Center Barracks

The United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking proposals for the design and construction of new facilities at the Batterson and Jerseydale Work Centers in the Sierra National Forest. The project involves designing and constructing 6-person barracks with office layouts, prefabricated metal buildings, site preparation, utilities, parking, and signage at two separate locations. The construction effort will be a Design-Build contract with a performance period of 360 days after notice to proceed. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical factors, with the government awarding to the offer representing the best value. Phase II proposals are due by December 16, 2024, at 1600 Pacific Time, and offerors must provide detailed technical submissions, design documents, construction cost estimates, and project schedules that meet Region 5 design standards.

The solicitation is set aside exclusively for certified 8(a) firms, with an estimated contract value between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. The project requires constructing facilities at two work centers: Batterson will receive a 100ft x 100ft metal building, a 60ft x 40ft metal building, and a 6-person barracks, while Jerseydale will get a 20ft x 30ft metal building and a 6-person barracks. The design must achieve a minimum LEED Silver certification and incorporate sustainable design principles, natural materials, and energy-efficient systems. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds, use the government's Project Management Information System, and comply with detailed design standards including specific architectural finishes, materials, furnishings, and appliances. The project will be located in the Sierra National Forest, with construction activities subject to specific environmental and quality control requirements.
