Umpqua National Forest Office Building

The USDA Forest Service intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the construction of a new Umpqua National Forest (NF) Supervisor’s Office (SO).  The current Umpqua NF SO has been in its existing leased location since 1985.  The new office will be constructed and co-located at the Government-owned USDI Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Roseburg District compound at:  777 NW Garden Valley Blvd, Roseburg, Oregon. 

The intent is for construction of an approximately 14,500 square foot, two-story building addition (connected via a breezeway) to the BLM office building per the FS provided specifications and plans/drawings.  The new structure will provide space for the following activities:  modern office space for Umpqua NF SO employees; a small public conference room to be shared by all agencies at the facility; a dispatch center to be shared by BLM and Forest Service; office space for remote employees (e.g. hoteling and desk-sharing stations); conference rooms, meetings areas, employee break facilities, and restrooms to meet the needs of the building’s employees.  The selection process, and evaluation criteria to be addressed, will be outlined in the forthcoming solicitation.  The Government intends to award without discussions, however reserves the right to conduct discussion should it be deemed in the Government's best interest.

One Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) contract will be awarded.  The contract period of performance will be 18 – 24 months from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed (estimated for Spring/Summer 2021).    

The magnitude of this construction project is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000.  All offerors will be required to provide a Bid Bond (20%) with their proposal submission.  Performance and Payment Bonds (100% each) will be required of the successful awardee.
