NCR-prwi: pmis 250451G tree trim/remove

The National Park Service is soliciting proposals for comprehensive tree trimming and removal services at Prince William Forest Park in Triangle, Virginia, under RFQ 140P2125Q0226. The contract encompasses three primary tasks: parkwide hazardous tree and brush removal, optional roadside and powerline tree pruning, and optional removal of stored logs from the park's storage yard. Contractors must demonstrate technical capability through an on-site ISA Certified Arborist, provide evidence of similar project experience within the past five years, and submit competitive pricing using the government's pricing schedule. The evaluation will follow a best value trade-off methodology where technical factors significantly outweigh price considerations, focusing on technical approach, relevant experience, and price reasonableness. Critical dates include a mandatory site visit on September 16, 2025, at 9:00 AM EST and quote submission deadline of September 19, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST via email to Richard_burns@nps.gov.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 561730 with a size standard of $9.5 million, though no current contractor or incumbent information is provided in the solicitation materials. While specific contract values are not disclosed, the pricing schedule indicates a firm fixed-price structure with a current placeholder total of $0.00 pending contractor submissions. The scope involves removing approximately 100 identified hazardous trees ranging from 8 to 55 inches in diameter across multiple camp areas, roadways, and facilities throughout the 15,000-acre Prince William Forest Park. The performance period runs from September 30, 2025, through March 31, 2026, with work restricted to weekdays between 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM to minimize visitor disruption and accommodate environmental considerations including bat habitat migration patterns. All work must comply with OSHA safety regulations, environmental preservation guidelines, and cultural resource protection requirements for this historic park property.
