About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service seeks electrical rehabilitation and disconnect work at the Salmon River Seed Orchard Pump Station through a Request for Quotation, with proposals due July 27, 2026. This procurement is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 237130, Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction, with a small business size standard of $45 million.
Place of performance is Lucile, Idaho (11905 US-95). The work involves relocating overhead electrical power to underground service, installing a new 400-ampere, 480-volt, 3-phase fused disconnect switch on a new post, removing and replacing one motor control panel with associated wiring and fuses, installing approximately 65 feet of 4-inch schedule 40 PVC conduit underground, and coordinating with Idaho County Light and Power for the overhead-to-underground transition. Two optional items are available: replacement of an additional motor control panel (Optional Item 1) and replacement of a second motor control panel plus installation of two 36-inch protective bollards (Optional Item 2).
All work must comply with the National Electrical Code, International Building Codes, National Electrical Safety Code, and OSHA standards. Work requires a licensed electrician as key personnel and third-party electrical inspection. Ground resistance testing must not exceed 5 ohms. The period of performance runs from August 15, 2026 through October 15, 2026, allowing no more than 230 consecutive construction days. A mandatory site visit was held July 7, 2026.
Performance and payment bonds are required at 100 percent of contract price if award value exceeds $150,000, due within 10 days of award. For contracts between $35,000 and $150,000, only payment protections are required (irrevocable letter of credit or payment bond). Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates apply. Quotations will be evaluated on experience, past performance (three relevant contracts within the preceding five years), and price. Quoters must be registered in SAM at submission and award, and must acknowledge both Amendment 1 (changing period of performance to August 15–October 15, 2026) and Amendment 2 (extending quote deadline to July 27).
