About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for a Virgin Islands National Park landscaping services solicitation (140P5426Q0038). The document clarifies scope ambiguities raised by prospective offerors prior to the September 4, 2026, 12:00 PM EST question deadline.
Key scope clarifications include: North Shore Road maintenance covers 13.77 miles from Mongoose Junction to Kingshill/Annaberg/Francis Bay; East End Road encompasses 3.00 miles with entry and exit points at the Shooting Range and Haulover Beach; parking lot measurements are specified in SOW sections 5.2 and 5.5, excluding the Maintenance Facility; debris removal includes existing debris and accumulated leaf litter, with disposal by placement downslope in a neat, presentable condition without off-site hauling; Shooting Range access requires coordination with the awarded contractor with daily gate locking procedures; and all services must conform to applicable codes, NPS requirements, and accepted industry standards. Regarding services not included or requiring further specification, the government responded uniformly that only items explicitly indicated in the SOW are being considered, effectively declining to expand scope regarding labor classifications under WD 2015-5715, bonding requirements, pavement markings, parking lot striping, pressure washing, curb painting, traffic control, Cinnamon Bay inclusion, or Maintenance Facility specifications. The responses indicate that offerors should base their proposals strictly on SOW content without assumptions regarding additional services or requirements.
