Kaww - remove bridge and culverts

The National Park Service Northeast Region is soliciting proposals for the removal of a substandard bridge and four culverts at Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Patten, Maine. The work requires furnishing all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, permits, and professional services necessary to remove Big Spring Brook Bridge #7239 and culverts #7241, #7282, #7662, and #7663, along with site rehabilitation and stream restoration activities. Contractors must provide a safety plan, work schedule, and equipment list as part of their technical proposal, and demonstrate relevant past performance in similar construction projects. The government will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection process, evaluating proposals based on technical factors including proposed equipment, safety plan, work plan, and past performance. A mandatory site visit was conducted on August 11, 2025, at 10:00 am ET, with participants meeting at Irving Gas Station in Sherman, Maine. The original solicitation due date was August 22, 2025, and Amendment 0001 was issued on August 14, 2025, providing responses to contractor questions about licensing requirements and work restrictions.

This opportunity is set aside for small businesses under the Total Small Business designation, with no incumbent contractor identified in the solicitation documents. The estimated contract value ranges between $100,000 and $250,000, reflecting the scope of bridge and culvert removal work required. The contract performance period allows 14 calendar days to commence work and 400 calendar days to complete the entire project, though actual construction activities are restricted to the period between July 15 and September 30 due to Maine environmental regulations protecting in-stream work. The project locations span multiple sites within Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Penobscot County, Maine, specifically along New River Road for the bridge removal and Orin Falls Road for the four culvert removal sites. Four construction companies attended the pre-bid site visit: Dunbar Construction, Emery Lee & Sons, TBC Excavation Inc., and Clark Contracting, indicating competitive interest in this highway and bridge construction project.
