Green Mountain General Roads/Civil Construction IDIQ

The Green Mountain General Roads/Civil Construction IDIQ is a competitive, fixed-price indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract awarded by the USDA Forest Service, CSA East 13. This small business set-aside project, falling under NAICS 237310, focuses on road maintenance and civil construction within the Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont. The contract has a maximum cumulative award ceiling of 7 million dollars and a total period of performance not to exceed five years from the date of award. Work is governed by FP-14 Federal Highway Administration specifications and Forest Service Supplemental Specifications, with a scope that includes mobilization, culvert removal, ditch reconditioning, and various road repair tasks. Award is based on an informal best-value tradeoff rather than the lowest price, with primary evaluation factors focusing on bonding capacity and the technical approach to performing the work. Specifically, contractors must demonstrate a single project bonding capacity of 150,000 dollars and an aggregate capacity of 500,000 dollars. Key personnel requirements include a Project Leader or Superintendent who cannot be substituted during the first 90 days without cause. Administrative requirements mandate the use of the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) for all payments, and final acceptance of work is determined by the government through rigorous field inspections and AASHTO and ASTM testing standards.
