The Forest Service will proceed to issue a solicitation as a Request for Proposals (RFP) on or about APR 17, 2017. This acquisition is 100 percent set-aside for small business concerns. The Forest Service will award a firm fixed-price contract to that responsible Offeror whose quote, conforming to the solicitation, is fair and reasonable, and has been determined to be the best value to the Forest Service. Offers will be evaluated based upon: price; experience, past performance, managers & subcontractors, price realism, and a Level of Confidence Assessment Rating (LOCAR).

The government estimated value is between $500,000 and $1.0 million.

A bid bond is required. Performance and payment bonds are required for this project. Construction Wage Rates (former known as Davis-Bacon wage rates) apply to any resulting contract. The proposed contract-type is firm-fixed price.

All responsible sources may submit an offer which will be considered by the government. Prospective contractor must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database prior to award of a contract. Lack of registration in the SAM on the part of the offeror will render an offeror ineligible for award.
