The BAER Gravel Crushing and Stockpiling project, managed by the USDA Forest Service Lolo National Forest, involves the crushing of gravel from government owned sources and the stockpiling of materials at two specific sites, Beaver Creek and Woods Creek, located within the West Fork Ranger District of the Bitterroot National Forest in Ravalli County, Montana. This contract, identified by solicitation number AG-03R6-S-12-0012, was designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 212311. The project was estimated to begin on February 15, 2012, with a performance period of approximately 100 calendar days. The procurement process included a solicitation released on January 9, 2012, with bids due by February 8, 2012. An amendment issued on January 18, 2012, revised the services and prices schedule, specifically updating the requirements for stockpiled aggregate at the Beaver Creek site and removing certain line items. The scope of work required the contractor to handle aggregate delivery and stockpiling to support forest operations, with administrative oversight provided by the Western Montana Acquisition Zone office in Missoula, Montana.
