CHCU 310250, Replace Obsolete Housing at Chaco Cultural Historical Park, New Me

The National Park Service (NPS) Denver Service Center is seeking a contractor to replace obsolete housing at Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico. The project involves demolishing four condemned homes and one trailer, and constructing three new buildings: a single-family home, a duplex, and a triplex. The procurement will be a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) using NAICS code 237990 with a $25.5M size standard, targeting both large and small businesses. Interested contractors must complete a survey questionnaire and submit it by June 13, 2025, at 5:00 PM Mountain Time to Contract Specialist John Kotchian and Contracting Officer LJ_Gravelle. The evaluation will likely focus on contractors' federal construction experience, local licensing capabilities, bonding capacity, and small business certifications.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this contract. The estimated construction cost ranges between $5-10 million, with a 540-calendar day performance period and anticipated project completion in Spring 2027. Bid, Performance, and Payment Bonds will be required for the contract. The project is particularly sensitive due to the site's UNESCO World Heritage Site status, which will necessitate careful archaeological and cultural resource preservation. The procurement is identified by Solicitation Number 140P2025R0078, and construction will occur while the park remains open, requiring minimal visitor disruption. Contractors will need to demonstrate an ability to self-perform work and manage the complexities of construction in a historically significant environment.
