About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service is soliciting construction services for the Lincoln Woods Trail Reconstruction project on the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire, involving slope stabilization and trail reconstruction along the East Branch Pemigewasset River. The project includes comprehensive trail reconstruction work such as removing existing bridges and temporary culverts, installing riprap slope stabilization systems, extensive erosion control measures, site grading, and installing a 72-foot split-rail fence, with work impacting approximately 12,450 square feet of perennial wetlands. This construction contract is structured as an Invitation to Bid (IFB) under FAR Part 14, with award going to the lowest-priced, responsible offeror, and contractors must maintain active SAM.gov registration and comply with Davis-Bacon and Related Acts prevailing wage requirements. The solicitation has undergone multiple amendments, with the final bid submission deadline set for July 24, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern, submitted to Brad Higley at Bradley.Higley@usda.gov. A mandatory site visit was conducted on June 12, 2025, and the question deadline was June 27, 2025, though funding is not currently available and the government reserves the right to cancel the solicitation.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), with no incumbent contractors identified in the documentation. The project carries an estimated value between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, with seven bidders submitting proposals ranging from $840,885.00 to $3,898,751.78 according to the bid abstract. Contract performance must begin within 10 calendar days of award and be completed by October 1, 2026, though some documents reference an extended completion date of October 29, 2027. The work will be performed in Grafton County, New Hampshire, specifically at the Lincoln Woods Trail in the White Mountain National Forest, with the trail closed to public access during construction. Bidders submitting offers over $150,000 must provide a 20% bid bond, and the contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed price arrangement.
