AI Contract Overview

The Two-Mile Meadow Restoration Project, located in Latah County, Idaho, on the Palouse Ranger District of the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests, aims to restore the hydrology and natural conditions of the East Fork Potlatch River and its surrounding meadow. Historically altered by past logging and railroad activities that caused river channel diversion and beaver extirpation, the project focuses on returning the stream to its historic channel, improving groundwater recharge, reducing sediment influx, and promoting native vegetation and wetland development. The scope covers a variety of construction activities including building temporary access routes, removing railroad berms, earthwork for channel structures, streambank stabilization, vegetative work such as sod harvesting and replanting, habitat structure installation, fencing, livestock ramp construction, and coordination for fish salvage and dewatering efforts. The contract is scheduled to begin by June 1, 2019, with work operating in-stream from July 15 to September 15 to avoid ecological disturbance, and completion due by October 1, 2019. The government’s cost estimate for construction ranges from $250,000 to $500,000. This total small business set-aside solicitation (NAICS 237990) is managed by the Department of Agriculture’s R1 Regional Office based in Missoula, Montana, with performance at the Potlatch location. The contracting officer is Karen Ruklic. An initial pre-bid meeting is scheduled, and the solicitation was anticipated for release in March-April 2019, with the contract expected to be awarded in May. Original bid bonds will be required for this project.

Full Description

Description of Work. The Two-Mile Meadow Restoration Project is being performed on the Palouse Ranger District of the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests in collaboration with the Latah Soil and Water Conservation District (Latah SWCD). The project, in Latah County, Idaho in Sections 13 and 24 of Township 40 North, Range 01 West, is located along the East Fork Potlatch River approximately 3 miles due east of Helmer, Idaho. Two-Mile Meadow is located directly east of Forest Road 3227, off Forks Road (Forest Road 3332). Through Two-Mile Meadow, the East Fork Potlatch River has been diverted out of its historic channel, as a result of past logging and railroad operations and associated extirpation of beavers, negatively impacting the existing floodplain and riparian environment. The purpose of this project is to restore meadow hydrology to a state that supports healthy native meadow and riparian conditions, including restoring the stream to its historic channel and elevations. The project is designed to slow water and enhance groundwater recharge, prevent the introduction of sediment into East Fork Potlatch River from excessive streambank and bed erosion, and promote natural native vegetation and riparian and wetland areas. In general, the construction contract requires development of temporary access routes; removal of railroad berms; earthwork operations for construction of a channel diversion structure, ditch plugs, constructed channel segments, and fill areas; point bar and streambank treatments; sod harvest, replant, and storage; construction of habitat structures; addition of floodplain logs and slash; installation of fence; construction of livestock ramps; and coordination with the Forest Service Contracting Officer (Government) or their representative for dewatering and fish salvage, revegetation, and adherence to various site controls. Contract performance shall occur between June 1 and October 1, 2019. The Notice to Proceed shall be issued once the government deems the meadow dry enough to mitigate resource damage but no later than July 1, 2019. Operating equipment in-stream shall occur between July 15 and September 15, 2019. Operation of equipment in the active channel is prohibited outside of this period. The contract completion deadline is October 1, 2019. The Government's construction estimate is between $250,000 and $500,000. A formal pre-bid meeting is planned. It is anticipated that the solicitation will be issued in March-April with contract award in May. Original bid bonds will be required.
