The project involves comprehensive restoration work, including hazardous materials abatement, selective demolition of non-historic elements, rehabilitation of interior and exterior surfaces, and preservation of historic features. Contractors must be registered in SAM.gov with a valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and will be evaluated under NAICS code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction.

The contract is currently unfunded but has high expectations of being financed, with an estimated project value between $1-5 million and a performance period of 365 days. No specific set-aside designations have been applied to this procurement, meaning all qualified contractors can compete. The rehabilitation scope includes comprehensive upgrades to mechanical, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems, as well as the installation of modern fire detection and security systems. Contractors will be expected to create functional visitor and employee spaces while maintaining the historical integrity of the 1954-constructed motel. The project represents a significant opportunity for firms specializing in historic preservation and complex institutional building renovation, with a size standard of $45 million for the designated NAICS category.
