Definitive Contract 140P2022C0001

Stone & Lime Imports, Inc., a Woman-Owned Small Business certified contractor specializing in historic preservation and masonry restoration, was awarded a $21.5 million firm fixed-price contract by the National Park Service to replace the steam heat and distribution system and repair the exterior structure and facade of the Easton Building at Boston National Historical Park in Boston, Massachusetts. The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, was awarded on January 3, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2026. The project scope includes replacing the existing steam heat system with a new steam exchanger and distribution piping, conducting structural repairs, rehabilitating windows, and performing asbestos abatement work on this historically significant building.

This award represents a significant engagement for Stone & Lime Imports' demonstrated expertise in complex federal preservation projects. The contractor's portfolio includes comparable work on historic structures and cultural heritage sites across the National Park Service, including lighthouse repairs, seawall restoration, and building rehabilitation at nationally significant properties. The firm fixed-price contract structure provides cost certainty for this substantial preservation initiative, which originated from a pre-solicitation notice posted in February 2021 seeking qualified contractors with experience in steam system replacement, structural repairs, and bonding capacity for projects exceeding $10 million in construction costs.
