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 of the material in designated consolidation areas, and the initial removal of 85,000 cy to enable engineering surveys. Work must comply with the FHWA “Standard Specifications for Construction of Roads and Bridges (FP‑14)” and include pre‑work submittals (construction schedule, HASP, erosion‑control plan, QC plan, temporary haul‑road plan) that will be reviewed 14 days before mobilization. Offerors must submit a short narrative (maximum 10 pages) describing relevant experience and past performance; CPARS reports are optional but may be requested. The solicitation is a 100 % small‑business set‑aside (NAICS 562910, size standard 1,000 employees) and incorporates FAR clauses by reference (52.252‑1, 52.252‑2, 52.212‑4). A bid bond/offer guarantee (20 % of price) and, for contracts over $150,000, performance and payment bonds equal to 100 % of the contract price are required (bonds due 10 days after award). Quotes will be evaluated under FAR 12.204 using a comparative best‑value methodology (FAR 12.203 criteria). The Government will give greater weight to vendors whose experience closely aligns with the project’s size, complexity, and scope, and will consider recent performance (the agency does not treat work older than ten years as recent). Formal trade‑offs will not be conducted, but proposals that exceed the minimum requirements and provide additional value may be favored. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment and submit all required documentation by the date and time specified in the solicitation.
