LD3 Tree Removal

Solicitation W912ES26QA102 is a total small business set-aside for a firm fixed price contract to provide tree thinning and woody vegetation clearing services at Lock and Dam 3 in Welch, Minnesota. The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision to clear all woody vegetation and fell trees within a designated 50-foot vegetation-free zone along the entrance roadway and security fence. To protect the integrity of the earthen dam and soils, the use of hand tools or handheld power equipment, such as chainsaws and brush cutters, is strictly required. All work must comply with the USACE Safety and Health Requirements Manual EM 385-1-1. The period of performance for on-site field operations is from November 15, 2026, through March 15, 2027. The government will award the contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal is most advantageous, with price serving as the primary evaluation factor. Offerors must be registered in SAM and provide a Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code. Following four amendments, the final deadline for offer submission is September 30, 2026, at 12:00 PM. Quotes should be submitted in Adobe PDF format via the PIEE suite or emailed to the primary point of contact, Roberta Just. Key performance standards include cutting stumps flush to the ground and ensuring debris is left only below the toe of the embankment. Invoicing is to be handled via email as the agency does not use WAWF.
