What this contract is for

This is a reposting of a pre-solicitation notice for an upcoming USACE Construction Project that was previously posted under W912P626B0001. Please take notice of the new solicitation number. Brief Description: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) – Chicago District's Lake County Forest Preserve District project requires restoring approximately 429 acres of historically significant natural communities, including wetlands, prairies, savannas, woodlands, and stream habitats. Major actions include remaindering hastings creek, eradicating invasive plant species, restoring instream habitat, disabling existing agricultural drain tiles, and establishing native plant communities based on site-specific hydrology and topography. Objectives are to enhance native habitat, biodiversity, and ecological connectivity; improve water quality and flood resilience; and expand recreational opportunities. All work will occur on lands owned by the Lake County Forest Preserve District. This requirement is not set-aside for small businesses, but all responsible sources may submit a proposal, which we will consider. Technical data will be provided as it is needed to respond, but it will be a part of the solicitation. In order to access the solicitation and submit a proposal, interested vendors must register with sam.gov and Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE). Use the PIEE System Registration link: – https://piee.eb.mil, and follow the instructions on their website. One or more of the items under this acquisition is subject to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and Free Trade Agreements.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
