Umesc west parking lot repair - milling

The U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants is seeking a small business contractor to perform milling, resurfacing, and restriping of the West Parking Lot at the Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The solicitation requires a comprehensive parking lot repair project involving removal and replacement of approximately 37,000 square feet of asphalt surface with specific technical requirements for milling, tack coating, and resurfacing. Contractors must attend a mandatory site visit on April 23rd, 2025, at 1:00 PM CST and submit proposals by May 9th, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST. The evaluation will prioritize technical merit, including past experience, personnel qualifications, and project planning, with these factors considered significantly more important than price. Contractors must be classified under NAICS code 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) with a size standard of $45 million.

The contract is a total small business set-aside with an estimated value between $100,000 and $250,000, to be awarded as a firm-fixed-price construction contract. The performance period is scheduled from July 30th to September 30th, 2025, during which the contractor must complete all parking lot repairs outside normal facility hours and coordinate closely with the USGS Technical Liaison. Contractors are required to carry a minimum of $100,000 in liability insurance and provide a 12-month warranty on all workmanship. The project involves detailed specifications for surface preparation, material installation, and final restriping using OSHA-approved yellow traffic paint, maintaining the existing parking lot layout including handicapped stalls. Work must conform to Wisconsin Asphalt Pavement Association and Department of Transportation guidelines, with careful consideration to avoid disrupting research equipment at the UMESC facility.
