WA-LWS NFH-septic line repair quarters

The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking a contractor to repair septic lines at two residential quarters (Q6 and Q7) located at the Little White Salmon National Fish Hatchery in Cook, Washington. The work involves replacing approximately 100 feet and 20 feet of cracked clay septic lines that are 6 feet deep, with Q7 requiring rerouting of the main line, bypassing the distribution tank, and adding a cleanout, while Q6 involves straightforward line replacement. The contractor must provide new PVC material meeting current regulatory codes and complete proper line replacement, bedding, compaction, asphalt restoration, and material disposal. The government intends to award without discussions to the responsible respondent submitting the lowest evaluated price, with evaluation based on the firm fixed-price construction contract proposal. The original proposal deadline has been extended to July 28, 2025, at 4:00 PM MDT, with quotes to be submitted electronically to Shannon_barnhill@fws.gov. A site visit was conducted on July 10, 2025, at 10:00 AM at 121 Chinook Drive, Cook, WA.

This solicitation is set aside for small businesses under the Total Small Business designation, with an estimated contract value of less than $25,000. The site visit records indicate potential contractors Paul Van Laar from Beam Exc. and representatives from River City (Chas Eakmen Caldwell and Jeremy Bennett) attended the mandatory site visit. The period of performance spans from the day after award through August 31, 2025, with the actual repair work scheduled to occur between August 15th and October 7th, 2025. Work access is limited to weekday duty hours from 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM, and the project will be performed at the Little White Salmon National Fish Hatchery facility in Cook, Washington.
