Y--HAFE 242454, Pavement Preservation Project

The Department of the Interior’s National Park Service, through its Denver Service Center’s Contracting Services Division, is conducting market research for a pavement preservation project at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park in West Virginia under solicitation number HAFE 242454. This effort is a Sources Sought Notice, not a solicitation for proposals, and is intended to gather information from small businesses to shape a future procurement. The project scope involves comprehensive road and bridge preservation services including asphalt pavement treatments such as street sweeping, crack sealing, chip sealing, surface sealing, and deep patching, along with pavement marking removal and installation, drainage improvements, earthwork, traffic control, and tree protection. Work must be carefully scheduled between 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. with no more than one lane closed at a time to minimize disruption to park visitors, and seasonal closures will be enforced. Protective measures are required to preserve the historical and natural environment. The estimated contract value ranges from $1 million to $5 million, and the anticipated performance period is 140 calendar days, accounting for weather-related delays. The acquisition is structured as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 237310, with a small business size standard of $45 million in annual revenue. Interested firms must submit their company information, including UEI number, point of contact, business size status, bonding capacity statement, and evidence of relevant past experience on similar projects by May 8, 2026, via email to Contracting Officer Rachel Dyer. Formal performance and payment bonds will be required upon contract award, but not at this stage. A formal request for proposals is expected to be issued in late summer or fall of 2026, at which time detailed specifications, evaluation criteria, and submission guidelines will be provided.
