ZION 240182, South Entrance and Visitor Center Road Rehabilitation, Zion Nation

The National Park Service is conducting a Sources Sought Notice for the South Entrance and Visitor Center Road Rehabilitation project at Zion National Park in Utah under NAICS code 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction). This comprehensive infrastructure project includes roadway realignment between State Road 9 and the Zion shuttle maintenance building, installation of a new bridge over the Virgin River, construction of multiple roundabouts including one at the Visitor Center entrance, reconfiguration of parking lots, and relocation of utilities including water, sanitary, electric, and communications systems. The project requires continuous traffic flow maintenance with maximum 15-minute lane closures and must be executed in four distinct construction phases to ensure uninterrupted access to visitor facilities, bus maintenance facilities, employee parking, and the oversized vehicle lot. Work will be conducted in a sensitive environmental area with wildlife and archaeological considerations that contractors must accommodate. Interested businesses must submit detailed responses by September 2, 2025, at 11:00am Mountain Time, including company information, business type classification, bonding capacity, and relevant project experience.

This opportunity does not currently specify any set-aside designation, with the NPS using the Sources Sought responses to determine potential small business set-asides for the future solicitation. No incumbent contractors are identified in the notice, as this appears to be a new infrastructure improvement project rather than a recompete of existing services. The estimated construction cost exceeds $10 million, with a small business size standard threshold of $45 million for this NAICS category. The anticipated performance period spans 30 months from contract award, with the formal solicitation planned for release in Spring 2026. The project encompasses significant scope including earthwork, grading, base course installation, surfacing, drainage infrastructure with underground culverts, landscaping restoration, and comprehensive signage and striping throughout the project site.
