GAOA - Alaska Peninsula NWR Float Plane Dock Repla

The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting contractors for the replacement of a floatplane dock at the Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge in King Salmon, Alaska. The project involves demolishing existing infrastructure and constructing new facilities including a steel sheet pile bulkhead, aluminum gangway, modular floating dock system, boat launch ramp, dock shed, and a 1,000-gallon aboveground aviation fuel storage tank with secondary containment. Contractors must demonstrate experience with three similar projects completed within the past eight years valued over $1 million, preferably involving remote area construction for federal resource agencies. The government will award the contract using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation method based on price, technical approach, and past performance criteria. The proposal submission deadline is August 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, following a mandatory site visit that was conducted on July 7, 2025.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside with an estimated contract value between $1 million and $5 million. The contract structure includes two base line items for bulkhead and floatplane dock replacement, plus an optional boat ramp replacement component that the government may exercise on September 4, 2025. Performance requirements specify a 730-calendar-day completion period following the notice to proceed, with work expected to commence around October 15, 2025, and conclude by October 15, 2027. All construction activities must comply with Alaska Department of Fish and Game permit restrictions, limiting in-water work to daylight hours between July 15 and May 15. The project location is situated approximately one-eighth mile from the King Salmon airport on the Naknek River, requiring contractors to coordinate closely with refuge staff and adhere to environmental protection measures throughout the marine construction process.
