The National Park Service seeks road striping services at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area in Shasta County, California, with the current due date of September 4, 2026 following multiple amendments. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 237310.

Place of performance spans eleven locations across the recreation area, including the Visitor Center Parking Area, Brandy Creek Beach, South Shore Drive, Brandy Creek Marina Road and RV Parking, Whiskey Creek, Oak Bottom Beach/Marina/Fire Station/Boat Launch, and Carr Powerhouse.

All pavement marking materials must comply with California Department of Transportation Standard Specifications and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

Surface preparation must remove dirt, debris, vegetation, and contaminants per Caltrans standards. Work is limited to daylight hours (7 AM to 5 PM, Monday–Friday, excluding government holidays); evening or nighttime work is available with prior Contracting Officer approval.

Performance period is September 7, 2026 to January 3, 2027, with work to commence within 10 calendar days of notice to proceed and be completed within 150 days.
