Morureplace security gates

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Region is seeking construction services to replace security gates at Mount Rushmore National Memorial through a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The project involves demolishing and removing two existing electro-mechanical gates at the Administrative Office and Sculptor Studio entrances and installing new Lift Master BG790 Industrial AC Barrier and Gate Operators with Wishbone Gates, along with new IP-based intercom stations and a NEMA 3 rated enclosure. Contractors must demonstrate technical capability in security gate replacement work performed within the past three to five years through an Experience Questionnaire and comply with Davis-Bacon wage rates. The solicitation has undergone six amendments, with the most recent extending the quote due date to July 31, 2025. Multiple site visits have been scheduled, with contract specialist Joseph Kirk serving as the primary point of contact at joseph_kirk@nps.gov or 605.574.0510.

The original solicitation was set aside 100% for small businesses, with an estimated total project value between $100,000 and $250,000. The performance period is 90 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with work to be completed at Mount Rushmore National Memorial in Keystone, South Dakota. The project requires replacing two security gates and associated infrastructure, including the removal of existing four-inch square twenty-foot-long steel drop arm gate beams and control boxes. The government will provide a 500-gallon water truck for contractor use and will issue hot permits for work involving torches, grinding, or metal cutting. Convergint has been identified as the servicing company for the Onguard software and hardware produced by Lenels, which integrates with the existing LenelS2 access control security system.
