Cape Cod National Seashores Racepoint Area Facilit

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Northeast Region is soliciting proposals for comprehensive facility improvements at the Cape Cod National Seashore's Racepoint Area in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The project involves demolishing existing lifeguard and women's changing room facilities, installing two new modular double vault toilet systems, creating new walkways and accessible parking areas, and performing site preparation and accessibility upgrades. The contract requires obtaining Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection permits, submitting FAA construction notifications, and adhering to strict seasonal work restrictions that prohibit ground-disturbing activities between April 15 and October 15 to protect Eastern Box Turtle habitat. The government will use a best value continuum tradeoff evaluation process considering technical approach, management experience, past performance, and pricing as approximately equal factors. The solicitation was posted on June 10, 2025, with proposals due on July 17, 2025, and the contract performance period spans from October 10, 2025, to April 1, 2027.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with an estimated contract value between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The contract structure includes a base bid and two optional line items, with work to be performed under a single prime contract over a 538-calendar-day period. Construction activities must be carefully sequenced to ensure new vault toilets are fully operational before any demolition of existing facilities can begin, particularly during the summer visitor season from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The project location is at Race Point Beach within Cape Cod National Seashore, requiring contractors to coordinate closely with park operations and minimize disruption to public access. Additional requirements include archaeological monitoring, compliance with accessibility standards, and adherence to erosion control and stormwater management guidelines throughout the construction process.
