LAKE SINCLAIR DUMP STATION REPAIR

The Lake Sinclair Dump Station Repair project is a small business set-aside acquisition by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Chattahoochee Oconee National Forest to repair a damaged septic drain line at an RV dump station located in Eatonton, Georgia. The scope includes concrete removal around the hydrant area, excavation using tractor equipment, jackhammering to expose the broken pipe, removal of the damaged piping and fittings, installation of new approved piping with proper fittings, backfilling the trench, pouring and finishing new concrete including a barrier stop, and implementing soil erosion control measures. Optional items—replacing two barrier wooden logs, six wooden pole logs, and two wooden signposts with existing signs—are contingent upon available funding. All work must use new, approved parts that meet the form, fit, and function of the original components. The estimated performance period is 54 days, beginning June 8, 2026, with completion by August 1, 2026, under FOB destination terms. The acquisition is a Request for Quote (RFQ) with firm fixed-price terms, and proposals are evaluated on a best-value basis, requiring both acceptable past performance and fair and reasonable pricing as pass/fail gates. The contract incorporates multiple FAR clauses including commercial services terms, whistleblower protections, anti-trafficking, accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, and security prohibitions, alongside Department of Agriculture-specific provisions and certifications. Offerors must comply with federal anti-discrimination laws and must certify that neither they nor their subcontractors promote DEI in a manner that violates Title VI or VII of the Civil Rights Act. All personnel must adhere to strict safety standards, including PPE requirements and equipment pre-inspection procedures prior to entry onto National Forest land, with written certification of compliance mandated. Contract administration is managed by the USDA-FS CSA EAST 2 payment office in Atlanta, with oversight from primary and secondary Contracting Officer's Representatives in Georgia and South Carolina. Full technical and pricing submissions, including compliance with all certifications, are due by May 29, 2026, with questions to be submitted by May 25, 2026.
