The contract will be awarded using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPPF) evaluation method, assessing technical acceptability across four factors: experience and capability, schedule, proposed construction plan, and proposed equipment and materials. Key dates include a mandatory site visit on April 24, 2025, at 12:00 PM Pacific Time, with questions due by April 30, 2025, and quotes due by May 9, 2025.

The contract is set aside exclusively for small businesses and falls under NAICS category 237110 for Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction. The project is funded through the Great American Outdoor Act (GAOA) with a project magnitude between $25,000 and $100,000. The period of performance is from June 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025, with a requirement to complete the project within 90 calendar days of the notice to proceed. Contractors must adhere to specific technical standards, including using materials that meet ANSI/NSF Standard 61 and AWWA standards, and provide a one-year warranty for all materials and workmanship. The work will be performed at three specific campground locations in California, with minimal surface disturbance and a focus on maintaining proper drainage, erosion control, and pipe stability. Contractors will be required to submit comprehensive documentation, including site photographs and as-built drawings upon project completion.
