HAVO 326181 Rehabilitate Rainshed & Water Treatmen

The National Park Service (NPS) is conducting a Sources Sought Notice for a comprehensive rehabilitation project at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park focusing on water system infrastructure improvements. The project involves upgrading the park's rainwater catchment system, including ground catchment, collection pipes, filtration, storage tanks, and associated equipment. The NPS is seeking responses from both large and small businesses to conduct market research and develop an acquisition strategy for the upcoming competitive procurement. Interested firms must submit detailed company information, including business type classifications such as HUBZone, VOSB, SDVOSB, and WOSB, along with their bonding capacity and relevant project experience. Submissions are due by April 14, 2025, at 10:00 AM HST, with the agency planning to use the responses to determine potential small business set-aside opportunities.

The project is classified under NAICS category 237110 for Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction, with an estimated value exceeding $10 million. The anticipated performance period is 20 months, with the solicitation expected to be released in Summer 2025. The project presents unique challenges, including its location 50 miles from suppliers and requirements for invasive species material inspections while maintaining continuous park operations. The rehabilitation scope includes demolishing and replacing two existing buildings: Building 43 will be replaced with a pre-engineered metal building, while Building 241 will be reconstructed with a new open-air structure and a one-story CMU building. No specific set-aside has been predetermined, as the agency will use the market research responses to inform its final acquisition strategy.
