RECOVERY - Decommissioning of the Big Flat Guard Station on the Smith River National Recreation Area (NRA) of the Six Rivers National Forest

This American Recovery and Reinvestment Act action involved the decommissioning of the Big Flat Guard Station located on the Smith River National Recreation Area of the Six Rivers National Forest in Eureka, California. Managed by the USDA Forest Service under solicitation AG-9702-S-10-0034, the project scope required the demolition and disposal of several structures, including a barracks building, a generator shed, a storage shed, and associated utilities and debris. The project was awarded as part of the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program. Following a competitive bidding process that attracted 16 offerors, the contract was awarded to Deneau Company for a firm fixed price of 26,580.00. While the initial government estimate ranged between 25,000.00 and 100,000.00, the final agreement was established under a performance period that was extended via amendment from 30 to 60 calendar days. The procurement process included multiple amendments to adjust bid submission deadlines and refine the scope of work for the site in Del Norte County.
