Stove Prairie Campground Gate Replacement

The USDA Forest Service seeks disposal and replacement of a broken 32-foot double-lane closure gate at Stove Prairie Landing, with quotes due November 16, 2026 at 14:00 Eastern Standard Time. The procurement is a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS 237990, Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, with a $45 million size standard and PSC Z1PZ.

Place of performance is Bellvue, CO 80512, at 16500 Poudre Canyon Road, within the Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland. The award is firm fixed-price for two lump-sum line items, mobilization and gate replacement. The contractor furnishes all labor, equipment, materials, supervision, transportation, and insurance. Work must commence within 10 calendar days of award and finish by August 31, 2027, a 274-calendar-day performance period. The recreation site must remain open to the public during construction behind MUTCD-compliant barriers.

The gate spans 32 feet center-to-center, is finished in two coats of Forest Service Brown (FS 30059), and sits on 24-inch Sono Tube foundations. Concrete work follows FP-24 Section 601, with mix designs on Form FHWA 1606 due 30 days before production. The schedule, materials submittals, staging plan, traffic control plan, and accident prevention plan are due 14 days before construction begins. Buy American requirements apply. The Government furnishes Yale locks and seed. A designated on-site superintendent must be vested with full authority; remote management of an unauthorized subcontractor superintendent does not satisfy FAR 52.236-6. Contractors must furnish a payment bond (Standard Form 25A) or an irrevocable letter of credit equal to 100 percent of the contract price within 10 days of award. No bid guarantee is required. Offers remain firm for 60 calendar days.
