Rehabilitate The Declaration House - Scaffolding

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center, on behalf of the National Park Service, is procuring comprehensive scaffolding services for the rehabilitation of the Declaration House (Graff House) at Independence National Historic Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The solicitation requires a fully engineered, OSHA-compliant free-standing scaffolding system rated for heavy-duty loading (minimum 75 pounds per square foot) that can support up to twelve workers across multiple levels and provide full access to the north, east, and south exterior brick masonry walls. The government will evaluate quotations based on technical capabilities, past performance, and price, with technical and past performance considerations being weighted more heavily than price. Offerors must demonstrate relevant scaffolding project experience within the last five years and provide detailed capability statements. The deadline for questions was July 28, 2025 at 12:00 PM ET, with quotations due August 11, 2025 at 12:00 PM ET, both submitted via email to the Contracting Officer.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 532490 with a size standard of $40 million, and no incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents. The contract will be awarded on a firm-fixed price basis with a total performance period of 136 calendar days, including a 19-day pre-installation phase, 5-day installation period, 90-day base use period, 5-day dismantling period, and 14-day closeout period. The period of performance is scheduled from September 10, 2025 to January 24, 2026, with the scaffolding remaining available for use for up to 90 days during the base use period. Work will be performed at the historic Declaration House in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, within the national park setting, requiring strict compliance with safety and historical preservation requirements. The contractor must obtain all necessary permits from the City of Philadelphia and provide a covered pedestrian passageway to ensure public safety during the project.
