EDIS: REPAIR STAFF LOT GATE & FENCE

The contract, identified by solicitation number 140P4526Q0039 and titled EDIS: REPAIR STAFF LOT GATE & FENCE, is a firm fixed price Request for Quote issued by the Department of the Interior through the Ner Services Mabo (43000) office in Boston, Massachusetts, for repairs to the perimeter fence and sliding gate at the Staff Parking Lot of Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange, New Jersey. The work involves demolishing and disposing of three damaged fence sections, associated posts, and the existing slide gate assembly, including removing post footings by saw-cutting, followed by installation of new materials that match the existing in appearance and function, ensuring proper alignment and smooth gate operation. All tools, equipment, parts, and labor must be provided by the contractor, who is also responsible for maintaining secure boundaries during construction, providing temporary barriers if the fence line is left open overnight, protecting adjacent infrastructure, and ensuring daily removal of debris and packaging without onsite disposal. The project must be completed within 90 calendar days of notice to proceed, with performance scheduled between July 31, 2026, and October 29, 2026, and work restricted to regular business hours Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., excluding federal holidays, with any after-hours work requiring prior written approval from the Contracting Officer. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238990, open only to small business concerns, and proposals must be submitted by the deadline of July 20, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. local time. Technical proposals must include a detailed work plan not exceeding 10 pages and demonstrate experience through no more than five similar projects completed within the last five years, while past performance is evaluated as a pass/fail criterion based on comparable prior work. Technical acceptance is a mandatory gate—any deficiency in technical approach or experience renders a proposal ineligible for award. Price is evaluated against competitive responses and the independent government estimate, but award will not be based solely on low price; instead, it will go to the offeror providing the best value based on the combination of technical acceptability, past performance, experience, and price. The government reserves the right to inspect and reject nonconforming work before or after acceptance, with remedies including repair, reperformance, equitable price
