FY25 seed warehouse

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Region is soliciting quotes for the installation of a concrete pad and electrical utilities to support a climate-controlled seed storage unit at Wind Cave National Park in Hot Springs, South Dakota. The project requires construction of a 20'x80'x6" concrete slab with 5,000 psi strength, #4 rebar at 12" on center, and extending underground electrical power 60 feet from an existing pole with 208V single-phase specifications. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) will be evaluated based on technical capability/experience and price, with both factors considered of equal value, and contractors must demonstrate relevant experience with similar concrete pad installations within the past three years. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for July 8, 2025, at 12:00 AM MT, with questions due by July 17, 2025, and electronic submissions required by July 25, 2025, at 1700 MDT to stephen_loftus@nps.gov. The firm fixed-price contract has a performance period from July 28, 2025, to August 29, 2025, with liquidated damages of $259 per calendar day for delays.

This solicitation is set aside for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise contractors under NAICS code 238110 (Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors) with a small business size standard of $19 million. No incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation, suggesting this may be a new requirement for the National Park Service facility. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the solicitation documents, the project includes detailed specifications for a substantial concrete foundation measuring 1,600 square feet and significant electrical infrastructure work. The 25-calendar-day contract duration requires all on-site work to be completed between August 1-31, 2025, at the Wind Cave National Park location at 13206 7-11 Road. The project involves compliance with Davis-Bacon wage determinations for South Dakota construction workers and requires adherence to strict environmental and site access restrictions typical of National Park Service facilities.
