1. Project Scope: The purpose of this project is to repair the existing damage to the shoreline and seawall at

Kingsley Plantation as well as to provide future storm resiliency by extending the seawall to the extent of the cultural landscape. Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve protects the natural ecology of over

46,000 acres of lands and waters and over 6,000 years of human history along the St. Johns and Nassau rivers in northeast Florida. In September 2022, Hurricane Ian, a Category 3 storm, made landfall at

Kingsley Plantation damaging the existing shoreline and seawall. Due to these damages, the park is now unable to successfully protect the natural ecology of land and water along with the 6,000 years of human history. Aside from the adverse impacts to the cultural landscape, failure of the existing seawall could result in the permanent loss of buried artifacts as well as impacting sensitive nearshore habitats and tidal waters.

Once executed, this project would both repair prior storm impacts as well as provide future storm resiliency.

The nature of the existing structural damage requires full replacement of the existing seawall, extension of the wall to the east, and raising the top of the seawall 18-inches (1.5-feet) higher than the existing seawall.

By completing these tasks, the park will be more equipped to face future storms and enhance protection of the cultural and ecological resources.

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

Summer of 2026; and awarding a single Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract.

3. 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 5:00PM ET on June

22, 2026 by emailing the questionnaire to the Contracting Officer at: joseph_wingfield@ios.doi.gov.
