Kimberly MTN site move

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management California Region is soliciting telecommunications services for the relocation of a Pepro communications shelter/vault and 40-foot tower from Kimberly Mountain, Nevada to the 5th Street Yard/Radio Shop in Susanville, California. The project involves removing an 8' x 12' communications shelter weighing approximately 14,622 pounds along with associated equipment including 32 NorthStar batteries, solar panels, antennas, and tower components, then transporting and reinstalling all components at the new location. Contractors must demonstrate technical capability through a detailed work plan and possess Pepro installation certification, transportation capabilities, safety compliance credentials, and prior experience with communications site moves. The evaluation will follow Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria, assessing meeting specifications, project schedule adherence, technical approach, and relevant experience. Quotes are due by September 12, 2025 at 3:00 PM PST via email submission to ksotelo@blm.gov, with the period of performance running from September 17, 2025 to September 16, 2026.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with a size standard of $34.0 million in annual receipts. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are specified in the solicitation documents. The contract will be structured as a firm fixed-price purchase order requiring contractors to handle all aspects of the site relocation including transportation permits, equipment handling, and site cleanup. The project timeline spans one year for performance, though the actual site move cannot commence until after July 2025 due to coordination requirements with BLM Nevada and the Nevada Department of Transportation. Performance will primarily occur at the origin site in Kimberly Mountain, Nevada and the destination facility in Susanville, California, with contractors responsible for all logistical coordination between the two locations.
