The US Forest Service will require a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for flagging and pilot car services in support of prescribed burning efforts on the Fremont-Winema National Forest (FWNF). The Oregon Department of Transportation requires the U.S. Forest Service to post warning signs and/or provide flaggers/pilot cars whenever smoke can be seen from highways or obstructs motorist's visibility when driving on Oregon State Highways. The work is generally intermittent and of short duration. The FWNF is contracting for three (3) levels of service, with both a 2-hour and 12-hour response time, an overtime rate, and Electronic Reader (Message) Boards for a total of 21 items. Hourly rates will include all costs for each stand-alone job, which entails flagging services required to secure a given site, flagging/signs at each end of the site, and all support therein. There may be multiple sites along the same highway, and these will be viewed as separate jobs. The solicitation is expected to be posted on 09 October 2019, and will likely close on 30 October 2019. Quoters must ensure registration in the System for Award Management database at https://www.sam.gov prior to any contract award.
