The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contract Office 16, issued solicitation 36C25620Q0711 for the removal and replacement of oak trees. This requirement is classified under NAICS 561730 Landscaping Services and PSC S208 HOUSEKEEPING- LANDSCAPING/GROUNDSKEEPING. The opportunity is designated as a set-aside for SDVOSBC (SDVOSBC). Aaron Angstadt serves as the point of contact for this combined synopsis and solicitation, which has a response deadline of July 3, 2020.

The scope of work involves removing existing oak trees and replacing them with Live Oak (Quercus virginiana) specimens featuring a trunk diameter between 1.75 inches and 3.5 inches. The contractor must protect the surrounding turf during operations and is responsible for earthwork cleanup following tree removal. To prevent shock, the new trees will be planted in offset locations rather than the exact spots of the removed trees. The contractor is required to provide a schematic submittal outlining the proposed depth and placement for the new plantings.

Documentation for this opportunity includes four attachments: two solicitation files, site visit information, and SCA Wage determination 2015-5190 Rev.16. Amendment A0001 was issued to provide clarification on species requirements, turf protection responsibilities, and placement protocols. This amendment confirmed that the contractor must install trees according to the specific offsets and depths detailed in the project’s scope of work.
