About this opportunity
Custer State Park, through the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish & Parks, is seeking proposals for a pre-commercial thinning project in fiscal year 2024. The procurement involves thinning approximately 145.8 acres of forestland to improve forest health, productivity, fire resistance, and wildlife habitat. Specific deliverables include thinning with requirements for maximum cut diameters, slash management, and adherence to specified forest management techniques. The project is scheduled for completion between October 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024, with a site tour planned for August 29, 2023, and proposal submissions due by September 8, 2023. Potential bidders must submit inquiries to Brandon Prehn at Brandon.Prehn@state.sd.us with the subject line CSP PCT, with all questions and responses to be posted on the state's e-procurement system. The procurement will follow a competitive negotiation process, with the state reserving the right to negotiate on all components of submitted proposals and anticipating an award decision and contract negotiation on September 13, 2023.
The request for proposal does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and no specific budget range or award value is directly stated. The contract includes options to extend or renew for up to three additional one-year periods, suggesting potential long-term engagement. Mandatory certifications for bidders include requirements related to debarment, non-discrimination, prohibited entities, and restrictions on boycotting Israel. The procurement requires contractors to maintain appropriate insurance and comply with standard contract terms and conditions, including indemnification and ownership of work product provisions. While specific financial details are not provided, the competitive nature of the procurement indicates that pricing and technical capabilities will be key evaluation criteria for potential contractors.
