- Description
- The purpose of this announcement is to make notice that the Forest Service contemplates releasing a solicitation numbered AG-0116-S-09-0134 on or about August 19, 2009, for the Fish Bay Riparian Precommercial Thinning project. If the solicitation is released, it will be released through this FedBizOpps website, and prospective quoters should visit this FedBizOpps website from time to time on or after August 19, 2009, to obtain a copy of the solicitation. This notice meets the requirements of FAR 5.201. However, the Forest Service reserves the right not to release a solicitation. NOTE REGARDING FEDBIZOPPS LISTINGS. The FedBizOpps website has three separate listings for the Forest Service in Alaska. These are (1) R-10 Alaska Region, Juneau, AK; (2) R-10 Chugach National Forest, Anchorage, AK; and (3) R-10 Tongass National Forest, Ketchikan, AK. Prospective bidders are advised that these three listings are not purely geographic and that a requirement on either the Chugach (Anchorage) or Tongass (Ketchikan) National Forest may be posted under the Regional Office (Juneau) listing. Thus, prospective bidders seeking Forest Service opportunities in Alaska should visit both the appropriate Forest listing (Anchorage or Ketchikan) as well as the Regional listing (Juneau). The solicitation contemplated by this notice will appear under the Ketchikan listing. PROJECT DESCRIPTION. The Fish Bay Riparian Precommercial Thinning project consists of thinning approximately 200 acres of conifer reproduction, approximately 42 to 58 years old, in six overstocked second-growth stands. These stands are substantially older and more developed than those typically encountered in pre-commercial thinning contracts awarded on the Tongass National Forest. The intent of this contract is to provide for the complete project described in the contract. Unless otherwise provided, the Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, and supplies and perform all work required to complete the project in accordance with the specifications and provisions of the contract. PROJECT LOCATION. This project is located on the Tongass National Forest, Sitka Ranger District. The project area is situated in the Fish Bay Creek valley. Fish Bay is on the north end of Baranof Island, in the vicinity of Salisbury Sound. It is approximately 21 air miles north of Sitka, Alaska, which is a full-service community that is accessible via Alaska Airlines, the Alaska Marine Highway System, and barge services. No roads connect Sitka with the project area. Access to the project area is particularly difficult and consists of a combination of boat, floatplane, helicopter, and/or foot travel. SOLICITATION DETAILS. The following preliminary details are provided for the benefit of prospective quoters, but are subject to change in the actual solicitation. Contract type: firm-fixed-price. Period of performance: 82 days after issuance of notice to proceed. Solicitation type: Request for Quote, posted on this FedBizOpps website for viewing and printing on or after August 19, 2009.

However, a prospective quoter may request a paper copy by faxing a note to 907.747.4289 specifically requesting a paper copy of solicitation AG-0116-S-09-0134. In such a case, a copy will be put in the mail. Telephone requests cannot be honored. PARTICIPATION. This project is a Small Business Set-Aside. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered.
