Quick Summary

The USDA Forest Service is soliciting proposals for the construction and installation of a pre-engineered fleet garage building for the Rochester Ranger District Office in Rochester, VT. This opportunity is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Proposals are due by April 3, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET.

Scope of Work

The requirement is to provide and install a pre-engineered building with an exterior designed to match the appearance of the existing Rochester Workshop. The structure must be supported by foundations below frost depth, designed by the contractor or building manufacturer. Key components include a concrete slab floor, power, lighting, and site work, as detailed in the Project Plans. The scope also involves site clearing, including the removal of an existing tree.

The project includes both a Base Bid and an Optional Bid, representing different garage configurations, with only one to be awarded. Clarifications indicate the garage is for vehicle parking only, will be unconditioned, and will feature manual garage doors, without fire alarms or sprinklers. Contractors are responsible for determining frost depth, verifying existing electrical service capacity, and matching existing workshop siding and roof colors, with site visits permitted for verification.
