Reference: GLCA 318876 – Low Water Access Ramp at Antelope Point DB

This pre-solicitation announcement is to advise the Industry that NPS DSC intends on issuing an RFP Solicitation for the Construction Services described below, in support of the above referenced project requirement at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Page, Arizona.

This PSN is not a formal Solicitation in itself, but rather a Synopsis of forthcoming RFP 140P2025R0021.

Specific instructions on submitting your proposal will be contained in the solicitation documents to be issued on or after 09/08/2025.

General Project Description and Scope:

This project involves reconstructing the Antelope Point Launch Ramp, as the current ramp is no longer functional due to low water levels. The Schematic Design extends the ramp to ensure long-term usability in response to potential future low water conditions. In addition to the ramp reconstruction, improvements to the associated parking area infrastructure will be included.

The contract is a design-build contract. The National Park Service has hired a design firm to evaluate existing conditions, conduct topographic survey, geotechnical testing, and permitting initiation to develop feasible ramp locations. Those alternatives were evaluated through a value engineering process to select a preferred site location for the new ramp. The preferred concept location was then further developed to a 30% design level in order to develop this request for proposal in such that sizing, alignment, scaled distances for the design is a feasible concept to allow prospective bidders understand performance criteria, construction limits and any other limitations to construction. The prospective awardee is expected to submit for approval the Denver Service Center, National Park Service workflow requirement for design services and construction documents for the 70%, 95% and 100% deliverables. Upon successful acceptance of these design deliverables by the NPS, a construction notice to proceed will be issued to allow the Design Builder to begin physical construction.
