F--Provide Tree Thinning Services - Hazardous Tree Pr

Solicitation 140P5126Q0057 is a request for quotations for commercial hazardous tree pruning and removal services at Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park in Fredericksburg, Virginia. This 100 percent small business set-aside under NAICS 561730 requires the contractor to provide all labor, equipment, and tools to remove high-risk or dead trees and perform roadside trimming. The scope includes felling, dismantling, rigging, and debris removal, with a specific requirement that all work be supervised by an ISA certified arborist. To protect wildlife, tree cutting is prohibited during June and July unless directed by the contracting officer. The contractor must also ensure all vehicles are cleaned before entering the park to prevent the introduction of invasive species and must protect sensitive earthworks and markers during operations. The government will award a single firm-fixed-price contract based on the best value, defined as the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote. Evaluation criteria include price, technical capability, and past performance, with the requirement to provide three similar projects completed within the last three years. The performance period concludes on February 26, 2027, and the contract is subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wages for Spotsylvania County. Following a recent amendment to provide responses to vendor questions, the deadline for receipt of quotes has been extended to September 10, 2026, at 1:00pm ET. Submissions must be sent electronically to the primary point of contact, Edward Dingle.
