B--GUSG HABITAT HYDRO-LOGIC RESTORATION 202

Solicitation 140L1726R0010 is a total small business set-aside construction contract issued by the Department of the Interior's Colorado State Office. The project focuses on hydrologic restoration to benefit the endangered Gunnison sage-grouse on government lands in the Crawford, Colorado area. The primary objective is to improve drainage on rural roads by installing approximately 204 treatment features, including rolling dips and lead-out ditches, across roughly 7.75 miles of road. These features are designed to redirect surface water off roadways and onto adjacent sagebrush vegetation to mimic natural hydrologic flow. The period of performance is established from November 1, 2026, to October 29, 2027, with a potential extension to November 30, 2027, in the event of wildfires or unsuitable soil conditions. The government will make a single award based on best value, utilizing streamlined commercial evaluation procedures where price is weighted equally against technical approach, past performance, and project schedule. To be eligible, offerors must be rated acceptable in all non-price factors. Proposals must be submitted in two separate volumes: a technical volume covering qualifications, schedule, and experience, and a separate price volume. Key personnel must demonstrate specific experience in project planning and well installation. The contract is subject to Davis-Bacon Act wage determinations and requires strict adherence to Bureau of Land Management specifications, including precise technical standards for drainage angles and cross slopes, as well as zero deviation from identified avoidance zones.
