Quick Summary
The Bureau of Reclamation has issued a Presolicitation Notice for the J--SJC RIO CHAMA TRAIL STAIRCASE project. This opportunity involves the removal of an existing staircase and its replacement with a new, low-maintenance steel staircase and hand railing panels at the Heron trailhead, Rio Chama Trail, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5). The notice is for informational and planning purposes only, and the actual solicitation is anticipated to be posted on SAM.gov approximately 30 days from the notice date.
Scope of Work
The project requires the demolition and offsite disposal of the existing Rio Chama Trail staircase, railing, and a cableway bridge. Contractors will then be responsible for the fabrication and installation of a new steel staircase, handrailing, and a new kiosk. Government Furnished Products (GFP), including specified metalwork and hardware, will be picked up from the Chama Field Office. Site coordination with New Mexico Park Service and Reclamation's Chama Field Office is essential for access and facilities.
