5. Project Description: The National Park Service (NPS) is seeking qualified contractors for the rehabilitation of the Eielson Visitor Center (EVC) and associated utility building located within Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska. The project site is extremely remote, located approximately 240 miles northeast of Anchorage and approximately 66 miles west of the Denali Park entrance via the Denali Park Road. Travel time from Anchorage to the site takes several hours by vehicle so plan accordingly.

Originally completed in 2005, the Eielson Visitor Center is a partially below-grade, off-grid facility with a vegetated roof system that functions as natural landscape, visitor plaza, and viewing platform. The facility has experienced ongoing water infiltration associated with failure of the existing living roof system. Previous repair efforts have not resolved the long-term issues, and full replacement of the roof assemblies and associated rehabilitation work is required to support safe and reliable operation of the facility.

A14 Page 2 of 2 v1 Mar2025

The project generally includes replacement of the existing vegetated roof systems at the visitor center and utility building; demolition of select architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical components; removal of existing exterior stairs and skylights; modifications to improve site drainage; and associated interior and exterior rehabilitation work. The project also includes accessibility improvements and upgrades required to support compliance with the current International Code Council (ICC) 2024 family of codes.

Additional work includes targeted upgrades and integration improvements to the existing hydroelectric power generation system serving the facility to improve reliability and operational performance.

The project site is located in a highly sensitive natural environment with limited infrastructure and constrained access. Construction activities will generally be limited to daytime hours, 7 days a week, between 6:00 a.m. and

10:00 p.m. to minimize impacts to nearby visitor and backcountry camping areas.

Due to the remote location, contractor staging, housing, logistics, and workforce support will be a significant component of the work. Government housing and support facilities will not be provided. The Contractor will be responsible for providing all workforce housing, communications, sanitary facilities, waste management, and logistical support necessary to execute the project. Contractor camping and RV accommodations will be permitted near Eielson Visitor Center and Mile 70, subject to National Park Service approval and operational restrictions. Limited utility connections may be available seasonally, though contractors should anticipate supplemental self-contained utility generation and communications systems will be required.

Access to the site is subject to seasonal and operational constraints. The Denali Park Road is paved through

Mile 15 and gravel beyond. Road widths narrow significantly west of Savage River, and vehicle operations are subject to park traffic controls, wildlife yielding procedures, and speed restrictions generally not exceeding 35 mph. Seasonal snow removal operations typically do not extend beyond Mile 3 until early May, and snow removal operations generally cease by mid-October.

The project is anticipated to be delivered under a single prime construction contract. Due to the limited seasonal access window and environmental constraints, the Contractor should anticipate the project will require substantial completion within a single construction season.

Anticipated Period of Performance:

Contract Period of Performance: 432 calendar-days from Contract Award.

Onsite Activities: 160 calendar-days from onsite Notice to Proceed (NTP).

6. Solicitation: At this time, NPS DSC anticipates issuing a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) around

August ; and awarding a single Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract.

7. Submittal Instructions: Responses shall be captured by filling out (in its entirety) the attached Sources

Sought Survey Questionnaire. The interested Contractor shall respond no later than 11:00 AM Mountain

Time (MT) on June 18, 2026 by emailing the questionnaire to the Contract Specialist at:
