Installation of Walkway Lights

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center seeks installation of 30 government-furnished walkway lighting fixtures at the Iwo Jima Marine Corps Memorial on the George Washington Memorial Parkway, with quotes due October 16 at 3:00 PM EDT. This is a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors).

Place of performance is Arlington, Virginia. The scope comprises two phases: Phase 1 (seven calendar days) involves electrical wiring inspection and replacement of deficient conductors at approximately 15 of 30 fixture locations with an estimated 50-foot average replacement length per run, installation of junction boxes, grounding, and connections to existing electrical service; Phase 2 (ten calendar days) encompasses mounting location preparation, fixture installation using Hilti concrete anchors or approved equals, electrical connections, grounding, alignment, and testing. The contractor must repair or replace approximately 15 existing concrete bases, with new bases for three locations where repair is infeasible, perform nighttime testing, and provide a 30-day warranty period. All disturbed areas must be restored.

The fixtures are ERCO Castor Bollards (20 at 800MM height and 10 at 500MM height). The period of performance runs October 20 through November 27, 2026, with work excluded during the Marine Corps Marathon (October 25) and Marine Corps Birthday (November 10). Government-furnished fixtures will be delivered to the GWMP NPS Maintenance Yard approximately October 30. This is a firm fixed-price service contract; Service Contract Act wage determinations (WD 2015-4281 Revision 39) apply, and general liability insurance of at least $50,000 per occurrence is required. No bonds are required. Quotes must include a technical description of installation approach, timeframe, and equipment staging plan, plus a price breakdown in an unprotected Excel spreadsheet showing materials and labor costs. Evaluation prioritizes technical approach over price. Contractors may invoice Phase 1 completion separately with balance due at final acceptance. A mandatory site visit was held October 7; questions were due October 9 by 12:00 PM ET. The Contracting Officer is Angelina Clements at clements_proposal_submissions@ibc.doi.gov.
