JELA 251674 - Shoreline Protection Project

This notice seeks information from contractors interested in constructing approximately 12,955 feet of rock breakwater structure along Lake Salvador within Jean Lafitte National Park and Preserve in Louisiana. The National Park Service is soliciting responses by noon on February 3rd, 2022 from both small and large businesses. Responses should include company information, business classification, bonding capacity, experience on similar projects including descriptions as prime contractor, and resources to finance, schedule and manage this shoreline protection project. Evaluation criteria will include relevant past project experience, bonding and financial capacity. A request for proposals is anticipated to be issued in spring 2022, and bid, performance and payment bonds will likely be required given the construction magnitude exceeds $10 million.

No set-aside designation is specified. The work requires protection of cultural and natural resources while operating in a remote area with difficult logistics. As the construction magnitude exceeds $10 million, the project likely falls under NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) or possibly PSC C213 (Construction of Structures and Facilities of All Types). Given the location within a national park, the National Park Service would be the incumbent and contracting authority.
