F - Grande Ronde Restoration Project

The United States Forest Service, under the USDA-FS, CSA Northwest 3 office, is seeking services for the Grande Ronde Restoration Project located in La Grande, Oregon. This initiative focuses on habitat restoration across 1.25 miles of the Grande Ronde River at Vey Meadows and involves hauling gravel from the Mine Tailings Reach to staging sites along the Middle Grande Ronde River. Additionally, the project encompasses work on 15 miles of small streams, including Spring Creek, South Fork Spring Creek, Dark Canyon Creek, Little Dark Canyon Creek, Pelican Creek, California Gulch, and Dry Creek.

The scope of work prioritizes the placement of large woody debris, such as channel-spanning log jams and whole trees, along with gravel to increase habitat complexity, roughness, and floodplain interaction. These efforts are designed to promote out-of-channel flooding, longer periods of hydrologic production, decreased stream temperatures, and increased riparian deciduous vegetation. This solicitation, identified by number 1240BE24Q0006, is categorized under NAICS 115310 for Support Activities for Forestry and PSC F018 for Natural Resources/Conservation- Other Forest/Range Improvements (Non-Construction).

The contract process includes a scheduled site visit on October 30, 2023, meeting at the 51 Road/5110 Road junction. Documentation for this project consists of nine attachments, including amendments, maps of the work areas, and relevant wage determinations. Thomas Lucas serves as the Contracting Officer for this requirement.
