Plumas NF Concow Disaster Aggregate Base

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking a contractor to furnish, haul, and spread approximately 12,300 cubic yards of aggregate base rock for road rehabilitation on four specific Forest Service roads (23N06, 23N02, 23N22Y, and 22N04) in the Concow area of Plumas National Forest. This procurement is related to disaster recovery efforts following wildfires that severely impacted the region in 2018 and 2020. The contractor must provide delivery vehicles capable of operating on narrow, steep, mountainous roads and maintain an on-site representative to coordinate delivery and spreading activities. The government will evaluate proposals using a tradeoff process that considers technical approach, responsibility, experience, and past performance equally alongside price reasonableness. Proposals are due July 29, 2025, with an estimated award notification by August 11, 2025, and all submissions must be made electronically to Contract Specialist Matthew Killian at matthew.killian@usda.gov.

This solicitation is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 212321 (Construction Sand and Gravel Mining) with a size standard of 500 employees. The aggregate quantities vary by road location, with 3,600 cubic yards for FS Road 23N02, 1,500 cubic yards for FS Road 23N06, 3,800 cubic yards for FS Road 23N22Y, and 3,400 cubic yards for FS Road 22N04. The entire project must be completed within 60 days after the Notice to Proceed, and the Forest Service will handle subsequent road maintenance activities including watering, grading, and rolling the aggregate after spreading. The work will be performed in Magalia, California, specifically within the Feather River Ranger District of Plumas National Forest. A recent Q&A memorandum indicates that Forest Service crews can receive 15-18 truck loads per day during a 10-hour work period, and bottom dump trailers are acceptable for material delivery.
