About this opportunity
The National Park Service's Southeastern Region is soliciting proposals for complete demolition services of a severely deteriorated recreation building located at Mt. LeConte Lodge within Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. The project requires full deconstruction and removal of all building materials, including wall logs, roofing, timber beams, concrete footers, and stone foundation, with specific materials designated for salvage and on-site storage. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, supervision, and equipment necessary to complete the work, with particular emphasis on managing airlift operations for equipment mobilization and debris removal due to the site's remote, trail-only accessibility. Proposals will be evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process on a pass/fail basis, with technical evaluation subfactors including relevant demolition experience within five years, key subcontractor identification, Statement of Work compliance, technical approach, airlift integration capabilities, personnel qualifications, quality control and safety measures, and ability to meet the performance timeline. Potential vendors must submit questions by March 20, 2026 at 5:00 PM EDT, and all proposals are due by April 10, 2026 at 5:00 PM EDT, with a mandatory site visit conducted on March 31, 2026 involving a 10-mile hike with 2,743 feet of elevation gain.
This is a 100% small business set-aside procurement under NAICS code 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors), with no identified incumbent contractors. The estimated contract value is $19 million under a firm fixed-price arrangement. The period of performance runs from April 15, 2026 through August 1, 2026, with work anticipated to require approximately four weeks for completion. The remote location at Mt. LeConte (elevation 6,593 feet) is accessible only by foot trails, necessitating helicopter airlift services for all equipment and material movement; contractors must obtain a Special Use Permit with FAA and HAZMAT-compliant aviation plans. All prospective bidders must register in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award, maintain liability insurance of $1,000,000 per person and $2,000,000 per occurrence, comply with prevailing wage requirements of $15.00 per hour minimum plus applicable service contract labor standards, and adhere to NPS occupational safety and health requirements as detailed in Reference Manual RM-50B Chapter 21.
