Tallac and Meeks Bay Barracks Reconstruction

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking construction and renovation services for the Tallac and Meeks Bay Barracks Reconstruction project located in the Lake Tahoe Basin, California. The work encompasses exterior renovations at the Pope Barracks including deck reconstruction, window and door repairs, roofing and siding replacement, while the Meeks Bay Barracks requires comprehensive interior renovations including electrical service upgrades to 200 amps, plumbing, insulation, wall board, painting, flooring, cabinetry, heating systems, and all finishes necessary for full occupancy. All materials and workmanship must comply with ADA requirements and meet Architectural Barriers Act provisions. The contract will be awarded using a best value approach with technical factors weighted equally to price, and contractors must submit both technical proposals addressing past performance and experience, as well as detailed business/price proposals with line-item pricing for nine specific work categories. The due date for this pre-solicitation notice is September 1, 2025, with the government expecting to make an award without discussions but reserving the right to conduct them if necessary.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 236118 for Residential Remodelers, with no incumbent contractors specifically identified in the documentation. The total contract value is estimated to fall between $250,000 and $500,000 based on the scope of work outlined in the solicitation documents. The project has strict timing constraints requiring all work to be completed between May 1st and November 1st, 2025, with contractors required to commence work within 10 calendar days of receiving the notice to proceed. The work involves two separate barracks facilities, with the Pope Barracks requiring primarily exterior work and the Meeks Bay Barracks needing complete interior renovation to achieve full occupancy status. The contract structure includes nine specific work categories for detailed pricing, reflecting the comprehensive nature of the construction and renovation requirements across both facilities.
