Construct new Building - Replace Hay Barn Cape Hat

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Southeast Region is soliciting proposals for the replacement of the Pony Pen Hay Barn at Cape Hatteras National Seashore on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. The project involves demolishing the existing barn structure down to its pilings and girders while preserving the lean-to shed roof and walls, which will be reattached to a new 20' x 30' building with specific construction requirements including 2x6 framed walls, t-111 exterior siding, steel entrance door, sliding barn door, LED lighting, and storm anchors. The government will evaluate proposals using an acceptable/unacceptable basis across three factors: technical capability, past performance, and price, with the intent to award to the lowest-priced technically acceptable proposal. A mandatory site visit was scheduled for June 17, 2025, and the original proposal submission deadline has been extended to July 11, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST. All questions must be submitted electronically to the Contracting Officer by 1:00 PM on Friday, June 20, 2025, and the proposed performance period runs from July 21, 2025, to February 20, 2026.

This solicitation is designated as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside under NAICS code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with no incumbent contractors identified in the documentation. The project value is estimated between $250,000 and $500,000, requiring a firm-fixed-price contract with Davis-Bacon prevailing wages applicable for Dare County, North Carolina. The work will be performed at the Bodie Island Maintenance compound on NC Highway Route 12, with the contractor responsible for coordinating with National Park Service staff to remove shop equipment before construction begins. Key deliverables include submitting an Accident Prevention Plan, product data sheets for wood and roofing materials, and specifications for vents and doors with hardware details. The finished building must be certified sustainable under the Guiding Principles for Federal Buildings and comply with all local, state, and federal regulations.
