Y--Construct a three bedroom single family residence at the Windigo location of Isle Royale National Park.

The National Park Service at Isle Royale National Park is seeking bids for the construction of a three-bedroom single-family residence at the Windigo location within the park. This contract includes all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and travel required to complete the project. Isle Royale National Park is a remote island in Lake Superior, covering over 570,000 acres, accessible only by boat or seaplane, which presents unique logistical challenges due to the distance and travel times involved. The park operates seasonally from late April through October, as it is winterized and not staffed during the colder months, further emphasizing the need for durable construction suitable for seasonal use. Given the isolation and limited access, all aspects of the construction, including delivery of materials and personnel transportation, must be carefully planned to accommodate the 45-mile boat trip across the island and the lack of daily commuting options. The contract is managed by the Department of the Interior's DSC Contracting Services Division based in Denver, Colorado, and was posted as a presolicitation in February 2002. Bidders will need to review the complete announcement for detailed bid instructions and requirements.
