Quick Summary
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), under the Department of the Interior, is soliciting proposals for a Firm Fixed Price Construction contract to perform a bathroom installation at Spring Creek National Fish Hatchery (NFH) Quarters No. 2 in Underwood, WA. This opportunity is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. An amendment has been issued providing clarifications to contractor questions. Proposals are due by February 23, 2026.
Scope of Work
This project involves corrective maintenance, requiring the contractor to furnish all design, labor, equipment, materials, and supplies for the bathroom installation. The facility, built in 1949, is currently occupied, requiring contractors to minimize disruption. Key requirements include:
- Construction of a new bathroom, approximately 8' x 5' (not to exceed 8' x 7').
- Installation of specific fixtures: toilet, storage cabinet, vanity with cultured marble top, sink faucet, wall-mounted mirror, and exhaust fan.
- Modifications to the existing basement, including concrete floor removal, framing, drywall, and upgrades to electrical circuits and plumbing to meet code.
- Relocation of the water heater if necessary.
- Moving and replacing laundry hook-ups, drain, receptacles, and vent.
- Installation of a new laundry sink with cabinet.
- Painting of walls and door to match existing basement wall color.
- Compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local building codes and regulations (environmental, utility, OSHA).
- Use of highly durable materials.
Key Clarifications (Amendment 001)

- An existing floor drain is to be removed, not replaced.
- The government is open to contractor ideas for layout within the specified footprint.
