The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting proposals for asphalt paving installation at 5696 Foresta Drive in El Portal, California, as part of a roadway support project for Yosemite National Park. The work involves installing approximately 1,000 linear feet of new asphalt pavement, including a multi-layer construction approach with stone mastic asphalt surface course, polymer-modified intermediate binder course, high friction surface treatment, and safety edge installation. The project requires strict adherence to Caltrans Revised Standard Specifications and various technical requirements for aggregate surfacing, base courses, and flexible paving materials. The government will evaluate proposals based on the lowest evaluated price determined to be fair and reasonable from responsible respondents. Critical dates include a mandatory site visit on July 8, 2025 at 10:00 AM PST, a deadline for questions via email to christa_garrigas@fws.gov by July 9, 2025, and proposal submissions due by July 22, 2025 at 1400 EST.

This solicitation is set aside for small businesses under the Total Small Business designation, with no incumbent contractors identified in the documentation. The contract has an estimated value between $250,000 and $500,000 and will be awarded as a firm fixed-price construction contract. The period of performance is scheduled from September 24, 2025 to October 10, 2025, with specific requirements that asphalt paving must be completed within two days of aggregate completion. Key quantities include 140 tons of SMA surface course, 210 tons of polymer-modified asphalt binder course, 1,250 square yards of high friction surface treatment, and 440 cubic yards of earth moving/excavation. The work will be performed at the El Portal area of Yosemite National Park, with water sources available near the fire station and multiple hydrants accessible at the El Portal maintenance facility.
