AI Contract Overview

The Smithsonian Institution is soliciting bids for a comprehensive upgrade of the sanitary and stormwater systems at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC, under solicitation number 33330226RF0010002. The project, estimated to exceed $10 million, entails replacing aging infrastructure throughout the Main Building and East and West Wings with new piping systems while strictly preserving historic architecture, protected exhibits, and active research operations. Key work includes rerouting pipes to avoid sensitive spaces, removing or capping obsolete lines, performing lead and asbestos abatement in compliance with federal and local regulations, installing systems within the building’s tunnel network, tying into external SI infrastructure, and implementing erosion and sediment control measures aligned with EPA and District of Columbia mandates. Roof scuppers will also be inspected, replaced, and integrated into the stormwater system. The solicitation has been amended five times, extending deadlines for both RFI submissions and proposal responses, adding responses to inquiries, facilitating a second site visit, and requiring submission of presentation slides. The updated proposal due date is May 20, 2026, with a pre-bid meeting held on March 27, 2026. Proposals must be submitted electronically via Dropbox in three separate PDF volumes: Cost Proposal, Technical Proposal, and Subcontracting Plan, each structured per detailed formatting instructions. The contract is a fixed-price construction agreement with a 740-calendar-day performance period beginning at the Notice to Proceed, incorporating options that may extend the term. Subcontracting goals mandate 40% participation by small businesses, including at least 7% by Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, in accordance with federal guidelines. The Davis-Bacon wage determination DC20260002 governs labor rates. Evaluation will prioritize technical merit—specifically the Plan of Accomplishment and Past Performance—as more important than cost, enabling a best-value tradeoff selection rather than a lowest-price technically acceptable award. Offerors must demonstrate deep experience with complex, sensitive historic facility projects, including detailed scheduling, coordination plans, and qualified key personnel. Packaging and labeling of materials must comply with ANSI A13.1, NFPA 70, and OSHA standards, requiring precise color-coding, barcoding of new equipment, and durable, compliant labeling across all piping and systems. Contractors are strictly prohibited from using the Smithsonian name in any promotional material without prior written approval, and all subcontracts must include this restriction.
