WACO Rehabilitate Amphitheater Expansion and Repointing

The Department of the Interior's National Park Service Intermountain Region is preparing to solicit a construction contract for the rehabilitation of the amphitheater at Waco Mammoth National Monument in Waco, Texas. The project involves expanding the plaza, adding 10-15 linear feet of seating to an existing limestone seat wall, repointing failing mortar joints, and improving accessibility to meet ABAAS standards. The solicitation will be exclusively for small businesses and is anticipated to be issued electronically on SAM.gov on or around May 22, 2025, with a proposed response closing date of approximately June 23, 2025. The contract will be classified under the Masonry Contractors NAICS category (238140) and the Repair or Alteration of Restoration of Real Property PSC category (Z2QA). While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the project appears to emphasize restoration quality, accessibility improvements, and compliance with national park standards.

The contract is designated as a total small business set-aside, with an estimated project value between $25,000 and $100,000. The performance period is specified as 90 calendar days, suggesting a relatively compact project timeline. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price construction agreement, targeting contractors with expertise in masonry restoration and park facility improvements. The project's scope indicates a focused rehabilitation effort that will enhance the amphitheater's functionality and aesthetic integrity at the Waco Mammoth National Monument. No incumbent contractor information was provided in the pre-solicitation notice, and the procurement appears to be a specific, targeted improvement project for the National Park Service's Intermountain Region.
