This is a Request for Bid (RFB) issued by the New Hampshire Department of Natural and Cultural Resources for stone masonry repair work at the Flume Visitors Center (OPS 2514), located at 852 US Route 3 in Lincoln within Franconia Notch State Park. The project encompasses comprehensive stone masonry repair services, specifically addressing the repair and restoration of rubble stone masonry facing on concrete retaining walls, including salvaging and re-setting fallen stones, repairing stone-paved entrance plaza walls, and remedying water infiltration issues between the concrete retaining wall and stone masonry facing. Bidders must conduct an on-site inspection prior to bid submission. Bids are due on May 21, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with a public bid opening scheduled at the DNCR offices in Concord, New Hampshire. The project is scheduled to commence on August 4, 2025, with Phase 1 completion targeted for September 25, 2025.

Bidders must be registered with the New Hampshire Secretary of State's Office and possess a Certificate of Existence, with demonstrated experience employing qualified stone masons and stone fitters. Award will be based primarily on the lowest base bid price, though the Department reserves the right to reject any or all proposals.

The project includes a $2,500 allowance for unanticipated modifications or additions. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are indicated in the procurement documentation.
