- Description
- The Rocky Mountain Region of the US Forest Service anticipates awarding two or more indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts for Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) work. The IDIQ will have a base year and four option years. Forest Service management direction includes emergency response, rehabilitation, and restoration of resources. More specifically, management includes the implementation of emergency and non-emergency land treatments to meet the objectives of protecting watershed values and land uses within watersheds. These emergency response, rehabilitation and restoration contracts include the use of proven effective land treatments to meet agency objectives. The land treatments that are part of these contracts are aerial-based applications of mulch (agricultural or wood). These are very common treatments that are used for BAER, watershed improvement, road maintenance and habitat improvement programs. Mulch applications have been found to be effective at reducing erosion and runoff on burned areas, construction sites, and other areas where a protective surface cover can lessen recovery time. The success of emergency response, rehabilitation and restoration of watersheds relies on the ability to mobilize and implement expeditiously. The intent of these contracts is to meet objectives of protecting, rehabilitating, or restoring watersheds and other land resources. The awardee of this contract will provide Helicopter mulching services. The contract will include 2 types of mulching: agricultural straw and wood shred. For agricultural straw mulching, the contractor will be responsible for procuring the straw, providing ground transportation of the straw to the helicopter staging area, and loading and dropping the straw via helicopters at specified locations. For wood shred mulching, the contractor will not be responsible for procuring or manufacturing the wood shred. The contractor will be responsible for transporting government furnished wood shred from a location within 100 miles of the helicopter staging area. The contractor will then be responsible for loading and dropping the straw via helicopters at specified locations. The size of the treatment locations will vary significantly for each task order and may range from 10's to 1000's of acres in size. This solicitation will be a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 115310 (support activities for forestry). The size standard is average annual receipts of less than $7 M. The work may occur within Region 2 of the USDA Forest Service, which includes forest lands within the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming, and Kansas. The government anticipates posting the solicitation on www.fbo.gov after December 6, 2012. Please continue to check back to this synopsis for the solicitation after December 6, 2012. Please note that this solicitation number is TBD due to a current procurement system migration within the Forest Service.
