BRCA 310427 Southbound Shuttle Stop

The National Park Service Denver Service Center, operating under the Department of the Interior, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) for construction services related to the Southbound Shuttle Stop Reconfiguration and Pedestrian Access project at Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. The project encompasses shuttle stop improvements including additional lanes, culvert extensions, multi-use trail realignment, cast-in-place retaining wall construction, shelter structures, sidewalk and ADA-compliant ramp construction, sign replacement, and pavement striping. Interested contractors must demonstrate experience as prime contractors on similar federal construction projects, bonding capacity, Utah licensing and permitting compliance capabilities, and relevant construction experience. The government is using this Sources Sought process to determine the appropriate solicitation method and whether a small business or socio-economic set-aside is warranted; responses will inform acquisition strategy decisions. The critical deadline for submitting the completed Sources Sought Survey Questionnaire is April 29, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Mountain Time, with responses directed to Zaira_lupidi@ios.doi.gov, and the government anticipates issuing a competitive Request for Proposals around Summer 2026.

No set-aside designation has been pre-determined for this opportunity, as the government is currently assessing whether small business or socio-economic set-asides are appropriate. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) with a $45 million size standard and falls under PSC category Z1LB (Maintenance of Highways/Roads/Streets/Bridges/Railways). The estimated contract value ranges between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, with a performance period of approximately 150 calendar days and an anticipated completion date of November 2026. The government anticipates awarding a single Firm-Fixed-Price contract and will require Bid, Performance, and Payment Bonds from the selected contractor. The project site is located 80 miles from the nearest suppliers and lodging facilities, requires protective measures for the Utah Prairie Dog Habitat, and necessitates maintaining park operations throughout the construction period.
