Replace CAB on historic locomotive #278

The National Park Service is soliciting offers to replace the deteriorated wooden cab on a historic steam locomotive displayed at Curecanti National Recreation Area. Offerors must remove the existing cab, transport it for use as a template, and construct a new cab matching historically accurate specifications using white oak and other materials. The cab must be reinstalled by September 1, 2024. Award will be made on a firm-fixed price basis to the responsible offeror submitting a technically acceptable quote with fair and reasonable pricing. Quotes are due by November 3, 2023.

There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The preformance work statement specifies hiring licensed cranes with 60,000 pound lift capacity for cab removal and reinstallation. Work must be performed by an experienced historic railroad restoration contractor and will take place at Curecanti National Recreation Area in Colorado. The National Park Service seeks completion of the rebuild phase by September 1, 2024.
