About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking a small business contractor to perform tree cutting and piling services in the Superior National Forest, specifically in the Tofte Ranger District near Lutsen, Minnesota. The solicitation requires a contractor to cut and pile trees on a 48-acre site, focusing on live and dead balsam fir and white spruce trees with diameters of 5 inches or smaller. Contractors must provide all necessary labor, equipment, and supplies to complete the work, with strict guidelines on tree removal, stump height, and pile construction. The government will evaluate quotes based on two primary factors: technical proposed equipment specifications (considering age, type, and quantity) and overall pricing. Quotes must be submitted by email to Paul Foster with a courtesy copy to Keith Friot by April 9, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, with pricing remaining valid for 60 days after the submission deadline.
This contract is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 115310 with a small business size standard of $34 million. The performance period for the project spans from May 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025, with work restricted to frozen or dry non-frozen ground conditions. The place of performance is located in Lutsen, Cook County, Minnesota, specifically at the intersection of Forest Road 170 and County Road 4, approximately 13 miles north of Lutsen. The contract requires contractors to use heavy equipment capable of cutting trees completely at the stump, with specific guidelines on pile dimensions and positioning. This is confirmed to be a new contract with no previous incumbent, and the project involves creating tree piles between 12-20 feet in diameter and height while avoiding damage to adjacent roads, signs, utilities, and property survey monuments.
