This Request for Quotation (RFQ) 127EAV26Q0008, issued by USDA-FS CSA Southwest 5, seeks proposals for a cultural resource survey to remediate physical safety hazards at 60 abandoned mine features within the Arivaca Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) Remediation Project. The project involves surveying 300 acres (5 acres at 60 locations) in the Nogales Ranger District of the Coronado National Forest, Arizona. This acquisition is set aside for Small Businesses, with NAICS code 541620 and a $19M size standard. Offers are due by December 19, 2025, 17:00 ES, and must include a technical proposal, a price proposal, and representations/certifications. Evaluation factors are Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price, with a single firm-fixed-price award based on best value.

This Statement of Work outlines the requirements for a Cultural Resources Survey and Report for 60 abandoned or inactive mine features in the Coronado National Forest, Arizona. This survey is crucial before any construction to remediate physical safety hazards at these mine sites using methods like polyurethane foam, fences, grates, and bat-compatible gates. The project requires a 50-meter buffer survey around each feature using 10-meter transects, with a focus on identifying and documenting cultural resources, including archaeological sites and isolated occurrences. The contractor must adhere to specific timelines for fieldwork, draft report submission, and final report delivery. Payments are tied to the completion and acceptance of these phases. The report must comply with USDA-Forest Service standards and include detailed maps, forms, and geospatial data for Section 106 consultation. The contractor is responsible for providing personnel, equipment, and services, while the Government will furnish essential maps and forms.
