KEMO 258734 - Redesign Kennesaw MT Road to Improve

The National Park Service is seeking a contractor to redesign the 1.2-mile Kennesaw Mountain Drive to improve pedestrian safety at the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park in Georgia. The project involves creating a shared bus/bike lane, a pedestrian lane, new pavement markers, signage, and accessibility improvements including a concrete walkway and shuttle loading area. The government will evaluate proposals using a Best Value Tradeoff Process, with non-price factors considered significantly more important than price. Proposals must include a comprehensive technical approach, detailed project schedule, key personnel qualifications, and past performance documentation. The solicitation requires electronic submission of proposals by May 27, 2025, with proposals to be rated from Unacceptable to Outstanding based on technical merit and past performance.

The contract is not set aside for any specific small business category, though the NAICS code suggests it falls under Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction. The contract value is estimated between $500,000 and $1,000,000, with a period of performance of 160 calendar days from the notice to proceed. The project will be located in Cobb County, Georgia, at the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. Liquidated damages are set at $1,776 per day for project delays, and the prime contractor must perform at least 15% of the work with its own employees. The project requires careful environmental and cultural resource protection, with specific restrictions on tree clearing and archaeological resource management. Contractors will need to comply with Davis-Bacon wage requirements and provide detailed documentation of their project experience and past performance.
