F--CA-SAN JOAQUIN RIV NWR-GRNHS DEMOLITION

The US Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting a firm fixed-price construction contract for the hazardous material abatement and demolition of the Green House, a former single-family residence, located at the San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge in Vernalis, California. The scope of work includes the base bid tasks of abating and demolishing the house, garage, and patios, as well as the removal of the existing septic tank. Additionally, the government has included optional tasks for the abatement and demolition of a barn and lean-to structures and the removal of a fuel tank. The estimated magnitude of construction is between $100,000 and $291,000, with the award based on the lowest evaluated price that is determined to be fair and reasonable. The project requires strict adherence to federal, state, and local regulations, including Cal/OSHA for structural demolition, Cal Green for waste management, and California Water Board policies for septic removal. Contractors must provide a Health and Safety Plan prior to starting work and submit all hazardous material disposal and recycling records before final invoicing. The performance period is expected to conclude by October 16, 2026, to avoid the November rainy season. Payment will be processed electronically via the Invoice Processing Platform, and bonding requirements apply for awards exceeding $35,000 for payment bonds and $150,000 for both payment and performance bonds.
