About this award
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $12.46 million definitive contract to VIP Structures, Inc. on September 22, 2026, for construction of a new multipurpose facility at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge in Seneca Falls, New York, under a total small business set-aside.
The originating solicitation (posted February 19, 2026, with revised proposals due June 26, 2026, following Amendment 0010) calls for an 11,500-square-foot multipurpose facility with a water service extension spanning approximately 3,925 linear feet from the Aurelius Water District main. The project includes a base build facility and four additive items: parking area resurfacing, two photovoltaic systems (south and north roof), and furniture. Place of performance is Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, Seneca Falls, NY.
Performance spans 548 calendar days from notice to proceed, with work to commence within 15 calendar days and completion by November 30, 2027. Ultimate completion date is March 21, 2028. The contract is firm fixed price and carries a ceiling of $12.46 million.
Geotechnical conditions impose significant constraints. Approximately 60 feet of soft cohesive soils overlay glacial till, requiring deep foundations (driven steel H-piles or concrete-filled pipe piles at minimum 100 feet depth) with site-specific load testing. The soil environment is severely corrosive, requiring Type II cement for below-grade concrete and corrosion protection for exposed steel. Prevailing wages under Davis-Bacon apply to laborers and mechanics on the physical site of work and to furniture securing labor. Performance and payment bonds are required within 60 calendar days of award. NAICS 236220; PSC Y1AA.
