CASA 324271 - CASTILLO DE SAN MARCOS - Construction

The Department of the Interior's National Park Service (NPS) Denver Service Center has issued a Special Notice for a significant seawall reconstruction project at the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument in St. Augustine, Florida. The project involves reconstructing approximately 1,355 linear feet of seawall, divided into five distinct segments: North Wall, North Transition Wall, Center Wall, South Wall, and South Transition Wall. The reconstruction will focus on maintaining the historic character of the site while improving its structural integrity. The project is categorized under Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (NAICS 237990) and is scheduled for formal solicitation in 2025. The NPS is approaching this project through a carefully planned Industry Day process to engage potential contractors and gather input on project requirements.

The purpose of the Special Notice is to invite qualified contractors to participate in upcoming Industry Day events, with two key dates scheduled: May 14, 2024, and February 11, 2025. Contractor attendance is limited to 5 personnel per company, and interested firms must submit attendee information (full name, company name, email) by specified deadlines for each event. The May 14, 2024 event will allow contractors to view the site and provide input on requirement development, while the February 11, 2025 event will offer more detailed one-hour meetings throughout the day. Each segment of the seawall has specific design requirements, including materials like poured concrete with coquina aggregate, stacked granite/coquina stone, and coquina masonry with granite foundation. Contractors will need to demonstrate an ability to work within strict historic preservation guidelines while executing complex marine construction techniques. Interested firms should carefully review the project specifications and be prepared to meet the NPS's rigorous standards for this historically significant reconstruction project.
