The USDA Forest Service is soliciting a firm-fixed-price construction quotation for a turnkey restoration of the Barillas Peak Lookout Tower in the Santa Fe National Forest. The base work includes design through 100% construction documents; removal and disposal of the existing cab; fabrication and installation of a replacement cab; structural analysis and repairs; furnishings and appliances; a CMU toilet building; plumbing and gray-water systems; solar photovoltaic power with battery storage, inverter, and backup propane generator; heating; communications equipment including an ANT150F2 VHF antenna and coaxial cabling; site and access-road improvements; and comprehensive lightning protection and grounding designed and tested under NFPA 70 and NFPA 780. The contractor must provide professional engineering, stamped drawings, testing, safety and environmental compliance, fire-prevention measures, and project management. An optional bid item covers design and installation of a comprehensive lightning protection and grounding system for the Encino Vista Lookout Tower, including testing and inspection. Quotations must include pricing for all base-bid line items; award will be based on technical approach, price reasonableness, and acceptable or neutral past performance rather than necessarily the lowest price.
