CUSTER GALLATIN NATIONAL FOREST - Riley Pass Bluff B Mine Waste Excavation Project

The Forest Service issued RFQ 1240LU26Q0020 for the Riley Pass Bluff B Mine Waste Excavation Project (Custer Gallatin National Forest). The scope requires excavation of historic mine waste, placement and compaction in designated consolidation areas, with an initial 85,000 cy to be removed for survey purposes, and compliance with FHWA “Standard Specifications for Construction of Roads and Bridges.” The solicitation is a 100 % small‑business set‑aside (NAICS 562910, size standard 1,000 employees) and incorporates mandatory FAR clauses by reference. Offerors must submit a short narrative (≤10 pages) detailing relevant experience and past performance (contract numbers, POCs; CPARS reports optional), and provide required pre‑work submittals (construction schedule, HASP, erosion‑control, QC, temporary haul‑road plans) at least 14 days before commencing work. Bid bonds/offer guarantees of 20 % and performance/payment bonds of 100 % of the contract price are required for awards exceeding $150,000, with bonds due 10 days post‑award. Quotes will be evaluated under FAR 12.204 using a comparative best‑value methodology (FAR 12.203 criteria), emphasizing recent, directly relevant experience (the government does not consider 10‑year‑old experience recent) and overall value rather than lowest price; formal trade‑offs will not be conducted. Past performance may be presented within the experience narrative if clearly labeled. Offerors must obtain written CO approval for on‑site staging/housekeeping and observe right‑of‑way and fueling‑area distance requirements. All solicitation provisions and clauses are available upon request.
