AI Contract Overview

The USDA Forest Service, Grand Mesa-Uncompahgre-Gunnison National Forest, plans to release a request for proposals in January 2015 for the Lockhart I Stewardship project, a five-year Integrated Resource Service Contract. This stewardship contract is governed by Section 323 of Public Law 108-7 and involves a commercial item acquisition tailored to the government’s barter system of exchanging goods for services. The project covers 12 units totaling 883 acres, with an optional unit of 199 acres, located about 27 miles southwest of Delta, Colorado on the Uncompahgre Plateau. The work will include a combination of timber removal—primarily Blue and Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, Douglas-fir, and aspen—and non-commercial thinning and surface fuels treatment across the designated units. Access to the project area is mainly from Divide Road (FSR 402) and Lockhart Road (FSR 507), with a specific right-of-way required for the optional unit. Interested contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management to be eligible, and the solicitation is open to all responsible bidders under a full and open competition. Potential respondents are encouraged to visit the site before mid-November 2014 due to expected snowfall that may restrict access later. The contract anticipates roughly 8,000 hundred cubic feet of various saw-timber volumes and associated required service work. Questions regarding the contract can be directed to the contracting officer, Jay Tobin, via the provided contact information. All updates and information related to the solicitation will be disseminated exclusively through the designated online portal, so interested parties should monitor it regularly.
