56--BADL PARK Trails Materials

Contract 140P6321Q0028, issued by the Department of the Interior's National Park Service through the MWR NEKOTA office, is a firm fixed price purchase order for boardwalk re-decking materials at Badlands National Park in Interior, South Dakota. The procurement includes 2,200 non-wood decking boards, specifically Tangent Tan Deck or equivalent with a raised rough wood grain finish, 140 green pressure-treated 2x6 structural boards, and 500 feet of 1/4 inch thick angle iron. The non-wood materials must meet strict performance standards, including UV resistance, anti-static and slip-resistant coatings, specific shear strength, and low moisture absorption to ensure durability and safety within the park environment. The contract process involved a request for quote conducted under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with a final award notice posted on April 27, 2021. To ensure quality and aesthetic alignment, the specifications require the contractor to provide three 12-inch sample pieces of the decking material in specified colors for approval after the award but prior to the final order placement. These samples are to be submitted to Nathan Novak at Badlands National Park. Administrative oversight for the procurement was managed by Contract Specialist Joseph Kirk.
