PROPOSED SOLICITATION ISSUE DATE: Estimated to be mid November 2018.

The NAICS Code for this requirement is 236220 Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with a size standard of $36.5M.

DESCRIPTION: The Netherlands Carillon tower is a 127’ tall x 25’ deep x 36’ wide steel framed structure with steel panel cladding. The tower houses 50 bronze bells, and the total weight of the bells is over 30 tons. There is also a climate controlled room with a wooden console which allows carilloneurs to play the bells and perform public concerts. Built in 1960, the carillon was last renovated/repaired in 1994 through a cooperative agreement with the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce (the 1994 repairs were completed at no cost to the NPS).

The tower structure is showing severe signs of deterioration and the early stages of structural failure. This deterioration is accelerating at such an alarming rate that all public access to the tower structure area is closed. Access to the tower structure, tower stairs and platforms is currently restricted to official business only.

This project will rehabilitate the monument following the Secretary of Interior’s Standards of Rehabilitation. The specific project scope is as follows:

• Develop Construction Drawings
