About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service is soliciting quotes to remove one existing boardwalk system and construct one new modular boardwalk system at the Juniper Springs Recreation Area in the Ocala National Forest, with quotes due August 17, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET. The acquisition is a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS 237990, with a $45 million size standard. The USDA-FS CSA East 12 office in Atlanta, Georgia administers the solicitation as a FAR Part 12 combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items, anticipating a single Purchase Order award on a best-value basis. Amendment 2 left the August 17 date unchanged.
Place of performance is Silver Springs, Florida. The scope includes overlooks, a kayak launch, and a Pedestrian Truss Bridge on post-on-pin foundations. Offerors must be Florida-licensed general contractors, and the prime contractor cannot use subcontractor licensure to meet this requirement. Offerors must submit two relevant projects valued at $2 million or more involving marine, bridge, pier, boardwalk, or dock work, completed or substantially complete (75%) within the past five years. Buy American requirements apply to construction materials, and Davis-Bacon wage determinations for Marion County apply.
Work must commence within 10 calendar days of notice to proceed and be ready for use within 365 calendar days, including final cleanup. Offer prices remain firm for 90 calendar days. Amendment 1 discloses an estimated construction magnitude of $5 million to $10 million. The bid guarantee is 20 percent of the bid price or $3 million, whichever is less, submitted on Standard Form 24 with power of attorney.
Submission requires five volumes: Florida licensure and registration, the bid guarantee, a technical approach (eight pages maximum, including project descriptions and a narrative with a Gantt chart), a Quality Control Plan (15 pages maximum), past performance questionnaires or CPARS evaluations, and the Schedule of Items (Attachment 1). Evaluation covers technical approach, price (fair and reasonable under FAR 12.204), and past performance rated acceptable, neutral, or unacceptable. Award goes to the highest technically rated offeror with acceptable or neutral past performance and a fair and reasonable price, not necessarily the lowest-priced offer. The site visit was scheduled for June 24, 2026 at 9:00 AM.
