GLCA 318882 Bullfrog Ramp DB

The National Park Service is conducting market research for the design-build relocation of the Bullfrog Launch Ramp at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The project involves comprehensive civil engineering and construction services, including approximately 3.5 miles of new roadway, a 2,400 linear foot boat launch ramp designed to accommodate 75-foot houseboats, and an 8-16 acre parking area. Contractors must demonstrate federal construction experience, in-water work capabilities, appropriate bonding capacity, and local Utah construction licensing. The NPS will use survey responses to evaluate contractor qualifications and determine potential small business or socio-economic set-aside opportunities before issuing the formal Request for Proposals. The critical deadline for submitting the completed Sources Sought Survey Questionnaire is December 8, 2025, at 12:00 PM Mountain Time to zaira_lupidi@nps.gov, with the competitive RFP anticipated to be posted in February 2026 and construction completion targeted by March 2029.

This procurement is not designated as a set-aside and is open to both large and small businesses under NAICS code 237990 with a size standard of $45 million. The estimated project value is approximately $77 million with a single Firm-Fixed-Price contract award anticipated. The scope includes significant earthwork totaling 600,000 cubic yards, rock blasting of 160,000 cubic yards, asphalt paving, concrete work, and utility relocations. Contractors are expected to have a self-performance capability of at least 15 percent and relevant design-build project experience. The performance period is anticipated to be approximately 710 calendar days, and contractors must provide performance and payment bonds as required by federal contracting standards.
