The estimated award value ranges from $250,000 to $499,000, with a basic exercised value of $390,000, and the contract will be awarded as a Purchase Order under full and open competition with no set-aside provisions. This requirement falls under NAICS code 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and will be performed in Big Bear Lake, California.

Forecast text
During the Line Fire in 2024 the Keller Peak Lookout burned. The Keller Peak tower greatly added to forest safety by housing volunteer lookouts supporting a camera based smoke detection program and being the location for one of the main radio repeaters for the forest. The resulting mess and debris when the tower burned is all contaminated with hazardous materials which require remediation before those functionalities can be restored in even a temporary way. This contract would be for that remediation and cleanup.
