AI Contract Overview
This solicitation, numbered 1240LT26Q0016, is a total small business set-aside under FAR Part 12 for the removal and replacement of barbed wire and wooden post-and-rail fences across multiple sites within the Manti-La Sal National Forest, primarily in Utah. The work involves site preparation, installation of pressure-treated wood posts and steel T-posts with specific preservative requirements, fencing assembly, gate reuse or installation, placement of MUTCD-compliant object markers, and thorough site cleanup. The contract is evaluated under a Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, where all offerors must meet a baseline of technical acceptability—demonstrated through experience in remote, no-utility environments, handling waste disposal, working without heavy machinery, maintaining public access, and managing difficult terrain—before price becomes the sole determinant for award. The performance period spans 344 calendar days beginning May 18, 2026, and ending April 26, 2027, with work distributed across locations such as Oowah Lake, Devils Canyon, and Nizhoni barbed, though the Great Wall of Buckeye site has been removed due to funding constraints. The solicitation mandates strict adherence to material standards, including copper naphthenate-treated wood with 6–8% copper retention per AWPA standards, ASTM and AASHTO specifications for wire and posts, and MUTCD compliance for signage. All bids must include a bid guarantee, incorporate bond premiums in the mobilization line item, and provide completed certifications including UEI, Buy American compliance, and adherence to Executive Order 14398, which prohibits discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion practices and requires certification that subcontractors also comply. Amendments have clarified discrepancies between documents, updated the statement of work, confirmed the precedence of the SOW over drawings, excluded non-applicable sites like Stuart, and mandated the inclusion of FAR Clause 52.222-90. Responses must be submitted via email to tony.taylor@usda.gov, with all required attachments including the experience questionnaire, KMZ geospatial file, Davis-Bacon wage determinations, and completed checklist, by the established deadline of May 1, 2026, at 12:00 PM MT. The Contracting Officer’s Representative is Jared McCourt, with Tony Taylor serving as both the Procuring Contracting Officer and point of contact
