The Department of the Interior National Park Service is seeking a small business contractor to construct a boat launch ramp extension at Echo Bay in Lake Mead National Recreation Area located in Overton, Nevada. The project involves building a gravel roadway and an in-water boat ramp extending to 1000' AMSL, which will be constructed using precast concrete panels in 7' vertical sections with potential water depths up to 40 feet. The solicitation (No. 140P2025R0071) will be issued electronically via SAM.gov on or after June 17, 2025, with award based on a best-value trade-off process. Evaluation will consider seven factors: Technical Approach, Schedule, Management Approach, Safety, Project Experience, Key Personnel, and Past Performance, with technical and non-price factors deemed significantly more important than price. Prospective offerors must maintain an active SAM.gov registration and Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number.

The contract is specifically set aside for small businesses with a $45 million size standard and will be structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price contract with a 730-calendar-day performance period.

Contractors will need to demonstrate significant capability in marine construction and civil engineering, with a robust safety record and proven experience in similar large-scale infrastructure projects. The project represents a significant infrastructure improvement for Lake Mead National Recreation Area, focusing on enhancing boat launch capabilities in the Echo Bay region.
