REPLACE PARK ENTRANCE SIGNS

The contract encompasses the fabrication and delivery of signage for multiple locations within the Fort Donelson National Battlefield and adjacent areas, including two directional signs for the battlefield, three for the Dover Hotel, and two for the Fort Donelson National Cemetery. All signs are to be fabricated from HDPE plastic with routed graphics, embedded arrowheads, and mounting hardware, and must adhere to strict quality standards requiring new, first-quality materials and highest-trade workmanship compliant with ANSI A10.6 and NFPA codes. Work must commence no earlier than June 1, 2026, and be completed by September 30, 2026, with a required 90-day performance window from notice to proceed. Electronic submission of shop drawings, samples, certificates, and instructional materials in PDF format is mandatory, and all materials must receive prior written approval from the Contracting Officer before fabrication and shipment. Inspection and acceptance occur at the site in Dover, Tennessee, after successful digital shop inspection and photographic documentation review, and final payment is contingent upon correction of all deficiencies. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 339950, meaning only small businesses may compete, and contractors must maintain active UEI and CAGE codes with accurate representations under FAR clauses 52.219-06 and 52.219-28. Compliance with the Buy American Act applies to all construction materials, and the contractor is responsible for obtaining all federal, state, and local permits at no cost to the government. Special requirements include adherence to restricted work hours (7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday), mandatory utility clearance requests submitted 10 days prior to excavation, immediate work stoppage upon discovery of archaeological resources, and strict environmental debris disposal procedures. All invoicing must be submitted exclusively through the U.S. Treasury’s Internet Payment Platform, and the Contractor’s Representative at the site, Craig K. Davis, will oversee daily inspections and approvals. Work must not disrupt ongoing operations at the battlefield, and contractor employees are required to maintain professional conduct; unauthorized overtime, use of government electronics for texting while driving, or non-compliance with safety and quality standards may lead to corrective action or termination.
