Placerville Nursery Greenhouse Grading & Infrastructure

The Placerville Nursery Greenhouse Grading and Infrastructure project, solicitation number AG-9A63-S-10-0070, is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business set-aside awarded by the USDA Forest Service for the Eldorado National Forest in Camino, California. With a government estimate between 500,000 and 1,000,000 dollars and a contract duration of 160 days, the project involves the excavation and grading of building pads to accommodate six prefabricated greenhouse structures. The scope of work includes trenching, backfilling, placement of aggregate base, and the construction of concrete slabs and an 800-foot paved access road. Comprehensive infrastructure installation is required, including underground utilities, waterlines with associated pressure testing and disinfection, storm drainage systems with rock protection, and a liquefied petroleum gas system. Electrical work consists of installing underground feeders, conduits, and distribution panels for the new greenhouses. Additional requirements include field engineering, construction staking, hydroseeding and mulching for erosion control, and the implementation of a waste site management plan. The project is governed by strict technical specifications regarding material standards, quality assurance, and environmental protections, including noise and dust control.
