Y--Grade and Pave, Lassen Volcanic NP

The Department of the Interior, National Park Service, is soliciting qualified small businesses to perform grading and paving services at two distinct locations within Lassen Volcanic National Park in Lassen and Tehama Counties, California. The work encompasses reestablishing grades, correcting drainage, preparing and compacting subgrades, and installing asphalt paving at the Summertown Service Road & Maintenance Area near Manzanita Lake and the Mineral Headquarters Historic District. Contractors must provide all supervision, labor, equipment, testing, and materials necessary to meet strict technical specifications including compaction to at least 95% of Modified Proctor standards, maintaining a minimum 2% cross slope, controlling dust, protecting historic resources and vegetation, and ensuring finished surfaces are smooth with no standing water and capable of supporting snow loads and maintenance vehicle traffic. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 237310, requiring offerors to be registered as active in SAM with a valid Unique Entity Identifier and to certify in good faith that they meet the small business size standard. The solicitation requires a firm-fixed-price quotation for two lump-sum line items, with submissions due June 17, 2026, via email only to Brenda Lewis, and must include a completed SF 1442 with UEI annotation, a 20% bid bond using SF 24, acknowledgments of all amendments, and a compliant bid schedule priced for both locations. The contract incorporates FAR clauses addressing government inspection, whistleblower rights, anti-kickback measures, Buy American requirements for construction materials, performance and payment bonds with a deviation, and reporting of executive compensation and subcontract awards. Davis-Bacon wage rates apply with specific prevailing wages detailed in an attached 44-page document, and contractors must carry workers’ compensation insurance or self-insure per California law. A site-specific safety and health plan compliant with OSHA standards is mandatory for approval before work begins. Contractors are required to suspend operations and immediately notify the Contracting Officer upon discovery of any archaeological artifacts or remains, which become government property, and may receive equitable adjustments for delays or additional work resulting from such findings.

The period of performance runs from July 1, 2026 to November 1, 2026, with all work to be completed and the site cleaned up within 120 days of notice
