Work includes Surface Maintenance Level 3 with roller compaction over 11.08 miles, placement of 1,077 tons of spot surfacing material using ODOT 3/4-inch minus gradation, ditch cleaning, pothole remediation to subgrade, and one-time mobilization as a lump sum. Performance is scheduled from May 15 to October 30, 2026, with FOB Destination terms, and all equipment and materials must be weed-free to comply with National Forest System requirements. Inspection and acceptance are performed by the Government’s Contracting Officer Representative, following AQL standards and federal regulations including MUTCD, Forest Service Handbook 7790.59, and SAE specifications. Key deliverables are measured by precise quantity thresholds, and failure to meet specifications—such as weed contamination, equipment leaks, or nonconforming surfacing—may result in rejection or adjusted payment. The contract is awarded through a best-value trade-off process, not lowest-price technically acceptable, evaluating technical capability and past performance as the highest priority, followed by price.

The contractor must designate a Contract Manager available during business hours and on-site within one hour for emergencies. Payment is processed through USDA-FS CSA NORTHWEST 3 in Portland, Oregon, using Standard Form 1449, with electronic funds transfer required. Attachment details include wage determination 2015-5573 rev 27, vicinity maps for NFSR 2044 and 2255, work lists, fire suppression protocols, and Willamette NF Road Rules 2026. No contract value is disclosed as pricing fields remain blank, indicating this is a solicitation requiring offeror submissions to determine final cost.
