Nez Perce National Forest - Falls Creek Gravel Placement

The contract involves a road reconditioning project on Forest Road 443, including the supply and placement of about 8,000 tons of gravel over roughly 8 miles of roadway. All aggregate materials must be sourced commercially. The scope of work also includes the removal and replacement of approximately 140 feet of 18-inch culverts and the installation of around 12 open-top box culverts, which will be provided by the Government. The project site spans multiple sections within T 31 N, R 8 E, and R 9 E in Idaho. Directions to the site are detailed from Kooskia, ID, emphasizing the connection along Highway 12 and Forest Roads 223 and 443. The estimated price range for the contract is between $100,000 and $250,000, with solicitation expected to be issued in mid-August 2009. Notably, an earlier presolicitation was updated to correct the aggregate tonnage estimate from 20,000 to 8,000 tons. The project is designated as a HUBZone set-aside under NAICS code 237990, administered by the USDA Forest Service through its office in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
