Subject: Pre-Solicitation Notice (PSN) – Request for Proposal (RFP) 140P2024R0041

Reference: YOSE 336810– “Yosemite National Park for asbestos remediation at “The Fort”.”

Purpose: The purpose of this announcement is to advise Industry that NPS DSC intends on issuing a Competitive, Total Small Business Set-Aside, A comparative evaluation of offerors, RFP Solicitation for the Remediation Services described below, in support of the above referenced project requirement at Yosemite National Park Yosemite Valley Maintenance Building 527 (The Fort) 9000 Lost Arrow Drive Yosemite Valley, California.

This PSN is not a formal Solicitation in itself, but rather a Synopsis of forthcoming RFP 140P2024R0041.

Project Description & Scope: Originally built in 1935, the Yosemite Valley Maintenance Building 527 (“The Fort”) was constructed as a roads and large vehicle maintenance facility, trail maintenance and equipment shop, custodial and utility shop, fire station, and parts storage. Throughout the years, the building has been modified to accommodate additional uses and departments, in which most of the ad-hoc modifications were made without professional consultation or building permit review process. Due to the age and condition of the building, many of the systems are out of date and do not comply with modern building codes.

On October 20, 2021, the building was evacuated at the recommendation of a team of safety professionals due to the presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM) being discovered. In September 2023, the site had a Hazardous Material Abetment Requirements Report (HMARR) done by Soar Environmental Consulting, Inc. to document existing hazardous materials and conditions, providing recommendations for remediation tasks in order to allow the NPS to safely resume operations in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations as soon as possible.

The HMARR identified asbestos insulated water pipes, dust with asbestos structures on horizontal surfaces, and spilled chemicals and oil. To allow for a safe return to operations, the Park will need abatement/remediation services of all exposed asbestos insulated waterpipes, cleaning of spilled chemicals, and wet wiping of horizontal surfaces throughout the building. Additionally, the HMARR identified ductwork cleaning and air clearance testing requirements for a comprehensive approach to Phase I cleaning and mitigation.

Product Service Code (PSC): F108 – “Environmental Systems Protection- Environmental Remediation.”

Anticipated Period of Performance: 30 calendar-days from Contract Award.

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

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