Sweet Creek Trail Bridge # 2

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service has issued a Special Notice for the Sweet Creek Trail Bridge #2 project, a bridge construction initiative within the Siuslaw National Forest. The notice represents a replacement for a previously canceled solicitation (12048925Q0006) that contained administrative and acquisition errors. This Special Notice is not a formal solicitation but rather an intent to award a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Call Order to an active BPA call vendor. The opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, indicating that only small businesses are eligible to compete. The project involves constructing a pedestrian bridge and related infrastructure improvements along a forest service trail.

Contractors interested in this opportunity must submit their organizational details, capability statements, and management structure information by January 7, 2025, to designated Forest Service contacts DeForest Watson and Jennifer LaBarge. The specific project scope includes installing a 40-foot span prefabricated timber glulam pedestrian bridge at mile point 0.2793 on Forest Service trail #1319, potentially requiring helicopter placement. Additional work encompasses clearing, earthwork, timber decking, railing installation, gabion placement, concrete grade beam and backwall construction, stair construction, and trail embankment work. The project falls under NAICS category 237310 for Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction, with a procurement service code of Y1LB for transportation infrastructure construction. Submission of information is voluntary, and the government assumes no financial responsibility for costs incurred by potential contractors during the response process.
