THRO South Unit Fence Construction Project

The Department of the Interior's National Park Service Midwest Region is seeking a small business contractor to complete the THRO South Unit Fence Construction Project at Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The project involves removing approximately 7,600 linear feet of existing boundary fence and installing a new fence system that includes galvanized steel round posts, high-strength woven wire mesh, tie wire, aircraft cabling, and two steel-framed hinged gates. Contractors must have an active SAM registration and UEI number to be considered for award, and will be subject to Construction Wage Rate Requirements specific to Billings County, North Dakota. The formal solicitation is expected to be issued on February 28, 2025, with contractor responses due around March 29, 2025. Evaluation will likely focus on technical capabilities, compliance with specifications, and pricing within the project's established parameters.

The contract is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 238990 (Fencing Contractors) with a $19 million size standard. The project is valued between $500,000 and $1,000,000, with a comprehensive 320-day period of performance that includes provisions for winter weather breaks. The base bid covers the initial 7,600 linear feet of fencing, with an additional bid additive option for 2,920 linear feet contingent on available funding. Construction will be completed in half-mile increments, allowing for strategic project management and potential phased implementation. The National Park Service anticipates awarding the firm-fixed-price contract in late spring 2025, providing small businesses an opportunity to contribute to critical infrastructure maintenance at a national park site.
