Repair of Fire Suppression at Yosemite Residences

The Department of the Interior National Park Service is seeking a small business contractor to repair fire suppression system deficiencies at multiple residences within Yosemite National Park in Mariposa County, California. The project requires comprehensive repairs to 51 locations representing 73 individual fire suppression systems, including installing missing signage, replacing outdated gauges, replacing recalled sprinkler heads, adjusting water flow alarms, and performing 5-year inspections to achieve compliance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and will be evaluated using a comparative assessment that considers price, technical capability, and past performance. The solicitation (140P8525Q0024) requires offerors to submit a technical approach narrative, past performance information, and detailed pricing details. Offers are due by June 13, 2025, with a performance period ending by December 31, 2025.

The contract is totally set aside for small businesses and has an estimated value between $100,000 and $250,000. The work will be primarily conducted during normal business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday) across three main areas: El Portal Rancheria Residential Area, El Portal Maintenance Complex, and Mather District. Contractors must begin work within 10 calendar days of receiving the notice to proceed and complete the entire project within 180 calendar days. The project involves specific safety considerations, including bear and animal safety protocols and hauling restrictions due to ongoing rockslide repairs. Wage rates will be determined by the Davis-Bacon Wage Determination for the region, with prevailing wages for various construction trades. The National Park Service's Pacific West Region office in San Francisco will administer the contract, with Tim Modjeski serving as the Contracting Officer.
