RECOVERY, Fire Island National Seashore, Replace Patchogue Bulkheads and Complete Ferry Terminal Building, Design Services for Predesign, Schematic Design and Design-Build Request for Proposal (RFP) Development

This contract opportunity is specifically available to contractors who have previously been awarded contracts under a designated solicitation, involving well-known architectural firms such as Bargmann Hendrie + Archetype, DHM Design Corp, Farewell Mills Gatsch Architects, and Quinn Evans Architects. The selected Architect-Engineer design firm will be tasked with developing a schematic design to replace approximately 2,000 linear feet of deteriorated timber bulkhead at the Fire Island National Seashore headquarters located in Patchogue, New York. This schematic design will serve as the foundation for a subsequent Design-Build construction contract aimed at completing both the design and construction phases of the project. The task order linked to this work is numbered T2011091537 and is managed by the Department of the Interior through its Dsc Contracting Services Division based in Denver, Colorado. Importantly, the firm awarded this task order will be precluded from participating in the subsequent Design-Build construction contract to avoid conflicts of interest. The contract involves design services that include predesign, schematic design, and preparation of the Request for Proposal for the Design-Build phase, specifically targeting the replacement of bulkheads and completion of the ferry terminal building at Fire Island National Seashore. This opportunity was publicly posted in June 2009 and is intended to facilitate the restoration and improvement of critical infrastructure at the site.
