MEVE 218998, Rehabilitate Eight Residences and Mus

The National Park Service Denver Service Center is soliciting bids for the comprehensive rehabilitation of eight historic residences and one museum building at Chapin Mesa within Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado. This complex historic preservation project involves structural repairs, complete replacement of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire suppression systems, hazardous materials abatement (asbestos and lead-based paint), utility upgrades, and restoration work while maintaining compliance with historic preservation standards. The solicitation requires contractors to demonstrate extensive experience with similar historic rehabilitation projects, provide detailed technical approaches, and submit comprehensive management plans including safety protocols and small business participation strategies. Proposals will be evaluated using a best value continuum process considering eight factors: technical approach, project experience, management approach, schedule adherence, key personnel qualifications, past performance, safety record, and small business participation. The proposal submission deadline has been extended to September 24, 2025, with the question period now closed following multiple amendments that provided answers to contractor inquiries.

This solicitation operates as a full and open competition with no set-aside designations, making it available to contractors of all sizes with the small business size standard set at $45 million. The estimated contract value exceeds $10 million, structured as a firm fixed-price contract with base Contract Line Items covering Quarters 4, 5, 6, Building 13 (Museum), and site utilities, plus five option CLINs for Quarters 1, 2, 3, 7, and 8. The performance period spans 550 calendar days from the anticipated Notice to Proceed date of January 12, 2026, with work scheduled to conclude by May 11, 2027. All construction activities will take place within the Mesa Verde National Park Headquarters District at Chapin Mesa, approximately 20 miles from the main park entrance, requiring contractors to coordinate closely with ongoing park operations while working on these historically significant structures built in the early 1920s using native sandstone blocks.
