About this opportunity
The Department of Energy Office of Science, through the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR), seeks proposals for a firm-fixed-price design-build subcontract for North boundary perimeter fencing at its South Table Mountain Campus, with technical questions due December 4, 2026 and proposals due December 18, 2026. The set-aside is Total Small Business.
Place of performance is Golden, Colorado. Scope covers designing and installing new fencing, removing designated sections of existing chain-link fence, and coordinating portions of the work with the State Historic Preservation Office. Design deliverables are 50%, 90%, and 100% Issued-for-Construction packages in NLR's required CAD/BIM formats, managed in Procore. Work must comply with NLR safety, security, and environmental guidelines, and utility locates precede any excavation. Offerors must independently walk the site via a public access trail bordering NLR and acknowledge completion in their proposals. The Notice of Intent closed October 27, 2026, and that deadline conditioned site-walk eligibility under Amendment 01.
NLR anticipates one award with a 360-day period of performance from subcontract execution. The NAICS code is 238990, with a $19.0 million size standard, and the PSC is 5660. Teaming with non-small firms requires the small business prime to perform at least 15 percent of the work directly. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates apply.
Selection is Lowest Price Technically Acceptable. Evaluation first checks completeness, then assesses technical acceptability against the SOW, drawings, specifications, period of performance, technical skills, and qualified safety personnel, with price considered for offers that qualify. Technical proposals require a cover letter stating acceptance or exceptions to the RFP and SOW. Business proposals require a completed price proposal form valid for 90 days, a Bill of Materials, representations and certifications, and an organizational conflict of interest statement.
Amendment 03 revised Attachment 7 (selection criteria, version 3) to add updated safety requirements and left the offer receipt deadline unchanged. Amendment 03 also posts a drone video of the site, available by November 13, 2026, through a Box.com link. Offerors must acknowledge all amendments, and failure to do so may result in offer rejection.
