Y--HAFE 242454, Pavement Preservation Project

The Department of the Interior’s National Park Service, through its Denver Service Center’s DSC 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 initiative, identified by NAICS code 237310, is anticipated to be a total small business set-aside with an estimated contract value between $1 million and $5 million. The project scope involves comprehensive roadway and bridge preservation services including asphalt pavement preservation techniques such as street sweeping, crack sealing, chip sealing, surface sealing, and deep patching, as well as pavement marking installation and removal, drainage improvements, earthwork, and tree protection. All work must be conducted with strict operational constraints to minimize visitor disruption, limited to one lane closures at a time and scheduled between 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., with seasonal closures implemented as needed. Protective measures for the surrounding historic environment are mandatory, and the contractor must demonstrate expertise in delivering such services under similar conditions. Performance and payment bonds will be required upon award. The anticipated period of performance is 140 calendar days, accounting for weather-related delays. This notice is a sources sought notice, not a solicitation for proposals, and no proposals are being accepted at this time. Interested small businesses must submit company identification, UEI number, contact details, business size certification under the $45 million small business size standard, a statement of bonding capacity, and evidence of past performance on comparable projects by May 8, 2026, via email to Rachel Dyer, the contracting officer. The National Park Service plans to issue a formal request for proposals in late summer or fall of 2026, at which point detailed evaluation criteria, specifications, and submission requirements will be provided.
