Construct New Well, Mojave National Preserve

The National Park Service Pacific West Region, on behalf of the Department of the Interior, is soliciting proposals to construct a new water well at Mojave National Preserve in California. Offerors must drill a test well to a depth of approximately 600 feet and install all associated infrastructure to transition the test well into a functioning production well. Proposals will be evaluated on technical merit factors and price, with award made to the offeror providing the best overall value. The performance period is 120 calendar days from notice to proceed, with proposals due by July 13, 2021. Amendments to the solicitation have extended the period of performance to March 31, 2022 and adjusted the response deadline.

This is a total small business set-aside contract action with an anticipated value between $250,000 and $500,000 to be awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis. The new well is intended to serve as the primary water source for operations and visitor facilities at Mojave National Preserve, with drilling and construction to take place within a one-acre site near an existing well. Questions were accepted until June 30, 2021, with all work to be completed by the end of the extended period of performance in March 2022 at the preserve location in California.
