Mobile Trailer Rental

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service seeks delivery, installation, 12-month monthly rental, breakdown, and pickup of one 12 x 56-foot mobile trailer, with quotations due September 16 at 4:00 PM Pacific Time and questions due September 8 at 12:00 PM Pacific Time. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside with a $47 million size standard under NAICS 532120.

Place of performance is 64 Nowelo Street, Hilo, Hawaii 96720. The trailer must include HVAC cooling throughout the interior, be fully finished, and include an ADA-compliant switchback ramp and stairs. The contractor is responsible for delivery within 30 days of award, leveling, blocking, tie-down, anchoring, and assembling the ramp and stairs. Interior configuration requires a minimum of three rooms with two offices accessible only from a main room. The government will provide site preparation, electrical connectivity from the existing panel, and labor for electrical hookup; upon rental completion, the government will remove the electrical connection within 30 days. The acquisition addresses a critical operational need to prevent further loss of plant material in tissue culture, supporting research benefiting the coffee, floriculture, and macadamia industries.

Award will be made on a firm-fixed price basis to a single contractor. Quotations will be evaluated based on price and past performance (rated as Acceptable, Neutral, or Unacceptable) using comparative evaluation methodology without tradeoffs. All costs, including the ADA ramp and stairs, Hawaii County oversize-load transportation permits, and Hawaii General Excise Tax, must be incorporated into firm-fixed prices for two line items: 12-month trailer rental and setup/teardown services. Offerors must hold prices firm for 90 calendar days from receipt date, be registered in SAM, and comply with Buy American provisions and applicable FAR and AGAR clauses.
