North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code: 238990 Small Business Size Standard: $19,000,000 Solicitation: The NPS anticipates issuing a request for proposals in June 2023. Bonding: The NPS anticipates bid, performance and payment bonds will be required Project Description: The project is located at multiple sites including Haleakal¿ National Park (Island of Maui) and Hawai¿i Volcanoes National Park (Island of Hawai¿i) in the state of Hawaii. The construction magnitude is $10 - $25M(FAR range) The anticipated period of performance is approximately 1,825 calendar days (5 years). The HALE surrounding area is rural with limited staging areas located at park headquarters and near Kipahulu Visitor Center (Oheo LZ). The HALE construction sites are very remote and accessible only by helicopter. Park headquarters (staging area A) is approximately 30 miles from Kahului / suppliers / lodging facilities. Kipahulu Visitor Center (staging area B) is approximately 60 miles (2.5 hr drive) from Kahului / suppliers / lodging facilities. However, delivery by semi-truck is not possible on this stretch of road, due to narrow segments. The Park will remain open during construction, thus contract activities and logistics must be structured and scheduled to minimize visitor impact. The site requires protective measures to ensure the surrounding area remains undisturbed. Construction is required at remote sites, and the contractor may choose to base camp in the field at pre-approved spike camp locations. Fencelines to be rehabilitated at HALE exist on steep slopes and Helicopter operations will be required. Delivery of fencing materials to HAVO is expected close to after Notice-to-Proceed so that park staff can begin fencing replacement. Project Scope: The Contractor shall provide all supervision, labor (as applicable), materials, equipment, and all other items necessary to complete the work as identified in the project specifications and associated documents. This project will include the following elements: ¿ Purchase and deliver 40 miles of fencing material (posts, mesh, fasteners, anchors, and foundation materials) to Hawai¿i Volcanoes National Park (HAVO) Headquarters. ¿ Purchase and deliver 11 miles of fencing material (posts, mesh, fasteners, anchors, and foundation materials) to Haleakal¿ National Park (HALE). Final location of material delivery at HALE will depend on contractor¿s means and methods and specification requirements for fence installation. 4 miles of fencing will be government furnished. ¿ Rehabilitate approximately15 miles of fencing. Fence work will be completed on steep terrain and through thick vegetation. Vegetation clearing along the fence corridor will be required on many portions of the fence lines. Mesh from existing fencing will be re-used as skirting for the new fence. Existing posts and other fencing materials to be removed shall be back-hauled and properly disposed-of or recycled. Most of the work sites are remote and require the use of a helicopter to transport crews and supplies to and from heli-bases. The contactor may choose to base camp in the field at spike camp locations that are preapproved by the NPS.
