This Request for Bid document from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department solicits a contractor to perform seasonal dock and extension pile installation and extraction at the Newfound Lake Public Boat Access Facility located in Wellington State Park, Bristol, NH. The project requires the removal and reinstallation of three temporary steel extension piles, floating dock segments, and a gangway during two specific timeframes: extraction during the week of October 14-17, 2025 (Indigenous Peoples/Columbus Day), and installation in April or early May 2026, contingent on ice-out conditions and road weight limits. The work involves precise dock management including dock segment transportation, gangway installation, and strategic positioning of extension piles. A site visit is optional, though contractors are encouraged to review the location beforehand. Bids must be submitted as a total lump sum covering both extraction and installation, with a deadline of 2:00 pm on Wednesday, April 9, 2025. Submissions are accepted via email to Garret Graaskamp or through a physical bid box at the Fish and Game Department Headquarters.

Bidders will be evaluated primarily on lowest bid pricing. Payment will be structured in two increments: 50 percent upon completion of extraction and the remaining 50 percent following installation. Contractors must possess crane operation capabilities and be prepared to work under NHFG personnel guidance during both extraction and installation processes. A New Hampshire vendor number is required prior to contract execution. No specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or budget range are disclosed. The procurement appears open to qualified marine construction or dock installation contractors with necessary equipment and expertise. The project documentation includes comprehensive visual references demonstrating the technical complexity of the dock facility, which features a concrete boat ramp, floating dock, gangway, and overhead lighting to enhance accessibility and safety.
