Rehabilitate convoy point visitor center comfort S

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Southeast Region is seeking construction services to rehabilitate the Convoy Point Visitor Center Comfort Station and replace staircase decking at the Headquarters and Visitor Center at Biscayne National Park. The solicitation covers a comprehensive restroom renovation involving demolition and installation of new ADA-compliant fixtures, water-efficient toilets, quartz countertops, ceramic wall tiles, and porcelain floor tiles, along with replacement of deteriorated staircase decking with marine-resistant composite lumber featuring hidden stainless steel fasteners. Contractors must submit technical proposals not exceeding 20 pages, past performance questionnaires for three similar projects completed within the last five years, and detailed cost proposals breaking down materials, labor, overhead, and other components. The government will evaluate proposals based on technical approach, past performance, and cost, with non-cost factors being significantly more important than price. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for August 11, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. ET at the Biscayne National Park Headquarters Building, with contractors required to confirm attendance by August 8, 2025. The proposal submission deadline is August 25, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. ET.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with an estimated contract value between $100,000 and $200,000. The firm fixed-price construction project has a performance period from October 1, 2025, to January 28, 2026, allowing approximately four months for completion. The restroom renovation will be completed in phases with each unit taking approximately 45 days to minimize disruption to park operations, while the staircase replacement includes an optional line-item for additional headquarters staircases contingent on fund availability. All work will be performed at Biscayne National Park in Miami-Dade County, Florida, requiring compliance with Davis-Bacon wage determinations and adherence to National Park Service facility standards, ADA Accessibility Guidelines, International Building Code, and OSHA safety regulations. The project requires contractors to provide weekly progress updates and submit detailed safety plans to ensure both worker safety and public safety during construction activities.
