Date: November 27, 2024 To: General Public via SAM.gov From: National Park Service (NPS), Denver Service Center (DSC), Contracting Services (CS) Division Subject: Pre-Solicitation Notice (PSN) – Request for Proposal (RFP) 140P2025R0013 Reference: CRMO 323904 – “Rehabilitate Operational Buildings at Idaho Parks.”

Purpose: The purpose of this announcement is to advise Industry that NPS DSC intends on issuing a Competitive, Total Small Business Set-Aside, Negotiated, RFP Solicitation for the Construction Services described below, in support of the above referenced project requirement at Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve in Arco, ID.

This PSN is not a formal Solicitation in itself, but rather a Synopsis of forthcoming RFP 140P2025R0013.

Project Description & Scope: This project is located at Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve in Arco, ID (Butte County). The surrounding area is rural in nature, with limited staging room available. The Park will remain open during construction, therefore, contract activities and logistics must be structured and scheduled to minimize visitor and operational impact. The structure is a historic resource, and the project site will require protective measures to ensure the surrounding areas remain undisturbed. Winter construction may be required and due to the heavy snow conditions in the area, weather-related shutdowns are to be expected through the winter construction season.

The approximately 4,000 square foot historic Utility Building will be rehabilitated with new electrical, plumbing, telecommunications, ventilation and climate control systems, and updated fire suppression system. Building envelope will be improved with interior wall and exterior roof insulation. Office space will be relocated and a new restroom and kitchenette will be added. New interior finishes will be installed and the existing wood ceiling will be revealed and restored. The roof membrane, man doors, and garage doors will be replaced and the historic windows will be preserved and repaired throughout. Wood surfaces will be repainted or refinished and masonry surfaces cleaned and repointed. Shop spaces will be outfitted with ventilation and safety equipment such as, but not limited to, vent hoods and eye wash stations. Due to the historic nature of the building, construction must comply with State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) standards as approved and integrated into the design.

A new storage building of approximately 1,600 square feet will also be constructed adjacent to the existing historic Utility Building to accommodate snow equipment. The building will be minimally heated and will include vehicle wash bays and utility sinks for summer use. The new storage building will be constructed as slab on grade with integrally insulated CMU wall construction and metal roof deck with TPO membrane, and include large overhead sectional doors.

Both buildings will receive associated site sewer, electrical and water utility connections, data and telecommunications to the NPS network, regional power company equipment, and adjacent facilities.

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code & Size Standard: 236220 – “Commercial and Institutional Building Construction;” $45 Million.

Product Service Code (PSC): Z2AA – “Repair and Alteration of Office Buildings.”

Estimated Construction Magnitude Range: $1 Million - $5 Million

Anticipated Period of Performance: 550 calendar-days from Notice to Proceed (NTP).

Contract-Type Vehicle: Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), Stand-Alone Contract.

Bonding: Bid, Performance, and Payment Bonds will be required.

Additional Information: RFP 140P2025R0013 will be issued electronically via the System for Award Management website (https://sam.gov). Specific instructions on submitting Proposals will be contained in the formal Solicitation documents, which is anticipated to be issued between late Winter/early Spring 2025. The NPS DSC anticipates a Pre-Proposal Conference and Site Visit after issuance of the formal RFP Solicitation and prior to the Proposal Due Date.

Documents will be made available for download purposes in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Adobe PDF, and/or HTML formats; Specifications available in Adobe PDF; and Drawings available in Adobe PDF. Paper Copies of the referenced documents will not be made available.

This is currently an unfunded project requirement, with a high expectation that funding will be available. When and if funds become available, a Contract will be awarded at that time.

Award shall be made to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforms to requirements and represents the Best Value to the Government, considering Technical, Past Performance, and Price factors.
