AI Contract Overview

The US Forest Service's Bend/Fort Rock Ranger District plans to issue a solicitation within 30 to 60 days for architectural and engineering services related to the Cascade Lakes Welcome Station project. This sources sought notice is exclusively to identify potential single-source contractors for the upcoming contract and is not a request for offers or contractor outreach. The project aims to address the absence of a visitor interaction point near the Forest boundary following the consolidation of local offices. The new facility, approximately 1,500 square feet, will serve as a resource center, interpretive site, and retail outlet to engage visitors before they enter the Cascade Lakes National Scenic Byway area. The project scope includes either relocating an existing building or constructing a new energy-efficient station, which will also feature interpretive kiosks, an outdoor seating area, access road, parking, utilities, landscaping, and associated site work. The contract requires the selected contractor to deliver comprehensive architectural, engineering, and technical design services from concept through construction, ensuring compliance with all relevant Forest Service design criteria, manuals, handbooks, and applicable state and local codes, favoring the most stringent standards. The contractor will prepare Concept Design Documents, Preliminary Design Documents, Construction Documents, and provide engineering support during construction. The Forest Service retains unlimited rights to all designs, drawings, and documentation produced under this contract, allowing use for future projects without additional compensation. The solicitation is managed by the Department of Agriculture's Fremont Winema National Forest office, with performance focused in Bend, Oregon, and key contacts including the Contracting Officer, Mark L. LaCroix, and Project Engineer, Greg Lewis.

Full Description

The US Forest Service, Bend/Fort Rock Ranger District, anticipates the release of a solicitation for the following work under an A & E single source contract. This is ONLY a sources sought notice and is not intended to serve any other purpose. The issuance of a solicitation is expected to be made within the next 30 - 60 days. Once the solicitation is issued, please follow the instructions contained within the notice to offers. Again, this is not a request for offer nor is it a request for potential contractors to contact the USFS. BACKGROUND The Bend/Fort Rock (BFR) Ranger District is part of the Deschutes National Forest which is located in Central Oregon to the South-West of Bend, OR. The goal of this project is to design and construct a Welcome Station on the Bend/Fort Rock (BFR) Ranger District, Deschutes National Forest (DNF). With the consolidation of the Deschutes Supervisors Office (SO) and the BFR office into a single building on the east side of Bend, there is no longer a location close to the Forest boundary allowing visitors to Bend an opportunity to interact with the Forest Service (FS) for Forest information. The Welcome Station will fill this gap and give visitors a chance to engage with the FS prior to recreating along the Cascade Lakes National Scenic Byway. The project will consist of either relocating an existing building or constructing a new 1,500 square foot station that operates as a resource center, interpretive site, and retail point. It is intended that this building will be an energy efficient facility. Developing interpretation and information kiosks, an outdoor seating area, an access road, parking lots, and associated site, utilities and landscape work is also part of this project. The following General Scope of Work outlines the Tasks and additional criteria involved to accomplish these activities. GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK The Contractor shall provide architectural, engineering, and technical design services to the USDA Forest Service (FS) for the preparation of Concept Design Documents, Preliminary Design Documents, Construction Documents, and Engineering Services during Construction for the construction of the Cascade Lakes Welcome Station. Design shall meet the requirements of the most recent edition of the specific design criteria and codes listed in all sections of this contract (including Section J), the FS Manuals and Handbooks, and State/Local requirements if more stringent than those listed above. The FS shall have unlimited rights in all drawings, designs, AutoCAD drafting disks, specifications, notes and other works developed in the performance of this contract, including the right to use same on any other FS design or construction without additional compensation to the Contractor.
