The U.S. Forest Service is soliciting offers for a single award, Firm-Fixed Price contract type with an estimated magnitude for the base and options between $500,000 and $1,000,000. The Government anticipates awarding a single contract for Pipeline Recreation Site Improvements in Gila County, Arizona.

Scope of Work:

The Pipeline OHV area is a high-use, high-visibility OHV staging area near the town of Globe, AZ. Shade ramadas were installed by AZG&F over 20 years ago and the site has had user created trails created all around it which has contributed to people not using the facilities very often due to high-speed traffic. The purpose of the project is to improve user experience by repairing existing facilities and adding new constructed features to improve public health and safety and protect resources.

This is a total small businesses set-aside.

Location:

The project site is located on the eastern side of the Globe Ranger District. Approximately at the southwest corner of the intersection of SR-70 and SR-77.
