The USDA Forest Service is seeking a small-business contractor to replace waterline infrastructure serving the Ross Springs–Red Canyon public water system in Utah.
- **Government buyer:** U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service, Region 4; Flaming Gorge Ranger District, Ashley National Forest.
- **Project:** Replace four abandoned-in-place asbestos-cement pipes with HDPE water main in Daggett County, Utah, serving Red Canyon Campgrounds and Visitor Center.
- **Main quantities:** Install 4,450 linear feet of 4-inch HDPE water main; cover 1,150 linear feet of existing pipeline with imported fill from a government source; install two combination air-vacuum valves with utility boxes. The schedule separately lists 4,475 units of 4-inch HDPE pipeline, while the scope and plans specify 4,450 linear feet.
- **Other scheduled materials:** 50 units of 1.5-inch HDPE pipe; 20 units of 2-inch HDPE pipe; 20 units of 5-inch GSP sleeves; screened daylight and pumpout drains; curb boxes and valves; a 4-inch iron gate valve and box; select borrow; and water locating-system access points. See line-item lists for quantities and part numbers.
- **Named OEMs/models:** **Av-Tek**, **APCO**, and **Val-Matic** are listed as acceptable combination air-valve manufacturers/models or approved equal. **Milwaukee** is named for the specified battery-operated pumpout-drain pump, or approved equal. No reseller or prime contractor is named.
- **Notable technical requirements:** HDPE pipe is specified as PE 4710, IPS DR9, 250 psig; pipe 4 inches and larger must conform to AWWA C906. The air valve must meet AWWA C512 requirements. The contractor must flush, pressure- and leakage-test, disinfect, and obtain bacteriological examination of new piping, and provide stream protection, traffic control, and erosion controls.
- **Operational constraints:** Keep the public water system operational to the extent possible; coordinate planned outages in advance and restore accidental interruptions within 36 hours. Existing asbestos-cement pipe is to remain in place to the extent possible.
- **Period:** One attachment states 30 days from receipt of the notice to proceed; the statement of work specifies 90 calendar days and anticipates work beginning in spring 2027. These duration statements differ across the provided materials.
