Hptc fortaleza wall scaffold 5

The National Park Service (NPS) is seeking a small business contractor to provide scaffolding services for the La Fortaleza Wall at the San Juan National Historic Site in Puerto Rico. The project involves designing, erecting, assembling, and installing OSHA-compliant scaffolding for Section 5 of the wall, which covers approximately 8,025 square feet at a height of 50 feet. The solicitation (140P2125Q0095) will be awarded under FAR Part 13 procedures, with the government anticipating a firm-fixed-price supply contract to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror. Interested contractors must submit electronic quotes by 10:00 am Mountain Time on May 21, 2025, and are required to attend a mandatory site visit scheduled for May 1, 2025, at 11:00 am Atlantic Time. The evaluation will focus on technical acceptability and pricing, with a clear emphasis on small business participation and compliance with project specifications.

The contract is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 532412 with a small business size standard of $40 million. The project has a total performance period of approximately 120 days, with scaffolding to remain in place for about 45 days per phase between June 15 and September 15, 2025. The work will be conducted at the San Juan National Historic Site in Puerto Rico, specifically at the Fortaleza Wall's Section 5. Contractors will need to be prepared to work around existing large spikes and secure scaffolding during hurricane season, with responsibility for potential property damages. While the specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the project requires specialized scaffolding rental and installation services in a historically sensitive environment. The NPS will handle vegetation removal and spike capping, and contractors will have limited access to "el paseo" for brief equipment loading and unloading.
