Forest Service Region 10 Road Construction and Maintenance Blanket Purchase Agreement

Region 10 of the Forest Service currently has a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) tool in place for procuring road construction and maintenance work in Alaska below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000. At this time, the Government is opening up the awarded vendor pool for consideration of additional vendors who are appropriately qualified. The intent of this BPA is to provide road construction and maintenance for Region 10 (Alaska) of the Forest Service. The road work may occur on any district within the region, see the attached maps. The Contractor shall furnish the necessary personnel, material, equipment, services and facilities (except as otherwise specified), to perform the Statement of Work/Specifications referenced in Section C within the timeframe specified in Section F of any BPA Calls issued. Agreements incorporate Federal Highway Administration Standard Specifications for Construction of Roads and Bridges on Federal Highway Projects (FP-14 or any future approved version) in U. S. customary measurement format, and also incorporate the "800" series, Performance Based Road Maintenance Specification. Work issued under the BPA is divided into 10 geographic zones (see attached maps) and contractors given agreements may select as many zones as they like to provide quotes for. Vendors interested in being considered for addition to the vendor pool should submit the experience questionnaire and three past performance questionnaires completed by references having experience with the vendor in regards to road construction and/or road maintenance work. Vendors who demonstate relevant experience and who show positive past performance will be offered an agreement. Submission of information does not guarantee that an agreement will be offered. The Government reserves the right to consider other sources of past performance information, including, but not limited to, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and personal knowledge. Note: prospective awardee shall be registered and active in the System for Award Management (SAM) data base prior to award.
