Description
DESCRIPTION OF BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (BPA) Road maintenance will be performed on USDA Forest Service roads in Washington State that provide access to and within national forests and other federal lands managed by the Agency�s mission areas. The roads generally include forest highways, forest development roads, and parkways. The intent of this BPA is to provide a long-term, contractual solution for multiple Region 6 forests to use for their respective year-to-year road maintenance requirements. CONTRACT TYPE Awarded BPA Calls will be firm-fixed-price (FFP) contracts. This contract type provides for a price that is not subject to any adjustment on the basis of the contractor�s cost experience in performing the contract. This contract type places upon the contractor maximum risk and full responsibility for all costs and resulting profit or loss. TYPES OF ROAD MAINTENANCE Routine Maintenance � Each BPA company will be provided with a solicitation package and allowed reasonable time for review, estimating, and submittal of quotes/proposals. This approach ensures that each BPA company is given a fair opportunity to compete for all routine road maintenance requirements. Emergency Maintenance Projects � This type of project may require operations during or immediately after a natural disaster or catastrophic failure. These actions may be required to restore essential travel, protect facilities, or minimize damage. The contractor may be required to travel to the site of the damage to obtain project information. The Government may provide limited information such as a brief Statement of Objective (SOO) or project overview, and require the contractor(s) to quickly determine approach and price, and then begin work immediately following award of the BPA Call.
