About this file

This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) amendment for Solicitation 140P4225R0007, a competitive HUBZone set-aside contract for repairing access routes at Shenandoah National Park. The project involves pavement repair, overlay, crack sealing, and related infrastructure work in the Big Meadows Campground area, with an estimated value between $1-5 million and a 75-day performance period.

Key details include a Notice to Proceed (NTP) date of 8/18/25, with work potentially beginning 9/21/25, though administrative blackout dates from September through November may impact the timeline. The contract requires compaction testing, utility adjustments, and pavement markings, with approximately 12,769 square feet of walkways to be paved. Contractors must field verify quantities, comply with park restrictions, and submit documentation like the Past Performance Questionnaire by 4 PM on the specified due date. Work hours are limited to 9-4 during weekdays, with no weekend construction activities permitted in the campground area.
