Katm replace non-compliant fire system in employee

The National Park Service Alaska Regional Office is seeking a contractor to replace non-compliant fire suppression systems in five employee housing cabins at Katmai National Park in King Salmon, Alaska. The project requires removing existing fire systems and installing new NFPA-compliant wet-pipe sprinkler and alarm systems in residential structures to meet International Building Code and International Fire Code standards. The solicitation will be evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, considering price, technical capability, and prior experience performing work in Alaska. Interested vendors must have an active SAM.gov registration and submit quotes by June 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM Alaska Time. Key evaluation factors include the contractor's ability to meet project specifications, demonstrated experience in similar Alaskan projects, and compliance with technical requirements for fire suppression system installation.

The contract is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, & Air Conditioning) with a small business size standard of $9M. The project has a firm fixed-price structure with a performance period from September 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, focusing on five specific housing units labeled VR-11, VR-13, VR-14, VR-15, and VR-12. The work will be completed during shoulder seasons (April 15-May 30 and September 1-30), with unique logistical challenges including site access only by boat or airplane and limited on-site accommodations. Contractors must provide all labor, materials, and equipment, comply with engineering and safety standards, and deliver a one-year warranty from the substantial completion date. The project site is located in Brooks Camp, a remote location with specific transportation and lodging constraints that potential bidders must carefully consider.
