Project Title: Lone Cone Chinking, GMUG NF, Norwood Road, Colorado

Description: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Part 12. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Quotations are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

Solicitation number 1240LT26Q0187 is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for removal and replacement of chinking material on building exterior. Contractor is required to prepare exterior log surface to ensure optimal adhesion. The Lone Cone Cabin is a rental facility in the summer months and an outfitter cabin in the winter months located on the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forest on the Norwood Ranger District. This is a log cabin built in the late 1940s. There are large gaps between the logs and holes from woodpeckers and other varmints, throughout the exterior of the cabin. This has allowed rodents and insects to infest the cabin’s interior. It is unknown when the last time any chinking maintenance was done on this cabin. However, it is apparent that the Lone Cone Cabin is in dire need of this service.
