The USDA Forest Service seeks installation of new water distribution piping, spigots, valves, concrete work, a well house, modification of existing electrical service, selective demolition, and project supplemental items at the Loleta Recreation Area in Marienville, Pennsylvania, with quotations due October 26, 2026, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside (NAICS 237110, $45 million size standard) issued as a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items under RFQ 12445526Q0132.
Place of performance is Marienville, PA 16239. The project scope encompasses a new well house building with concrete slab, two 305-gallon NSF61 HDPE water storage tanks with chlorination capability, approximately 555 linear feet of new 2-inch and 4-inch HDPE water lines and 1-inch HDPE water line, new water spigots with concrete pads, well modifications including a pitless adapter, underground electrical service installation (200-amp single-phase 120/240-volt service), and site restoration. The Period of Performance runs from the issuance of Notice to Proceed through October 4, 2027, with work to be completed within 180 calendar days. Work is restricted to Monday through Friday during normal business hours, excluding weekends and national holidays, unless pre-approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative.
A Pennsylvania-licensed well driller is required for work on the existing well; horizontal directional drilling is permitted for water lines where possible, with open trenching allowed where necessary. Contractors must conduct pressure testing in the presence of the Contracting Officer's Representative before joints are covered. All work must comply with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements (wage determinations for Building and Heavy Sewer/Water Treating Plant classifications are attached); wage conformance requests follow Federal Wage and Hour Division procedures. Buy American requirements apply to construction materials. Contractors are responsible for well permitting, testing, disinfection, sampling, regulatory approvals, utility locating coordination via One Call, and electrical permitting through United Electric Company. The project is subject to Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection permit approval (permit 6240802, already acquired by the Forest Service). Mobilization costs cannot exceed 10 percent of total contract bid price. A bid guarantee of 20 percent, along with performance and payment bonds, is required. Monthly progress payments are authorized upon submission of certified requests, due within 30 days.
Evaluation will be based on Technical Approach to Performing the Work, Relevant Experience, Past Performance, and Price.
