About this opportunity

The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking bids for a Good Neighbor Authority reforestation project in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) located in Ferry County, Washington. The project involves planting 45,000 Western Larch seedlings across 127.6 acres (specifically Units 1 and 2), with a planting density of 360 trees per acre at 11-foot spacing. The contract, identified as IFB #7044, aims to re-establish tree cover in an area impacted by the Goosmus Fire in 2024, with objectives of supporting ecosystem services and reducing erosion. Bidders will be evaluated on responsiveness, references, and cost, with a maximum possible score of 105 points. Key dates include a virtual pre-bid conference on December 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM, and a bid submission deadline of December 18, 2025, at 11:59 PM PST. The contract term runs from the date of execution through June 5, 2026, with seedlings to be stored at the Three Rivers Ranger Station in Kettle Falls, Washington.

Bidders must possess specific licensing, including a current Washington State Farm Labor Contractors License and a United States Department of Labor Farm Labor Contractors License. The procurement includes provisions for small business and veteran-owned business preferences, with potential scoring adjustments. Bid pricing will be calculated per 1,000 seedlings, with payment adjusted based on planting performance quality. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the federal funding source suggests potential flexibility in contract value. Bidders will be evaluated as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with consideration given to small businesses and veteran-owned businesses. The project has integration requirements with existing BLM lands, specifically within Township T40N R34E, and spans an elevation range of 2,300' to 3,500' in a terrain surrounding private lands near the Kettle River.
