Replace and repair aquatic park railings

The National Park Service Pacific West Region is seeking a contractor to replace and repair bleacher railings at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) process. The project involves two primary approaches: completely replacing entire railing sections with new Schedule 40 steel pipe that must be galvanized and welded, including adding stainless steel extensions to posts, and repairing existing railings through rust removal and multi-coat painting applications. Contractors must demonstrate relevant experience with similar metalwork projects within the last five years and possess a valid California contractor license applicable to the work scope. The evaluation will be conducted on a best value basis, considering price, relevant experience, past performance references, and contractor licensing. Following an amendment, quotations are now due by 10:00 AM PDT on June 23, 2025, with submissions required electronically to the contracting officer.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), with no incumbent contractors identified in the documentation. The project value is estimated between $100,000 and $250,000, with a performance period scheduled from August 1, 2025, to December 1, 2025, though some documentation suggests the project may not commence until 2026. Work will be performed at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park in San Francisco, California, with specific constraints including limited work hours (7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday) and vehicle size restrictions due to the historic nature of the site. The project requires adherence to prevailing wage rates as specified in the Department of Labor's wage determination for San Francisco County, and contractors must comply with safety regulations and historic preservation requirements. An organized site visit was conducted on May 29, 2025, to allow potential contractors to assess the work scope and site conditions.
