Y--GLBA REHAB WATERLINE

This contract solicitation, titled Y--GLBA REHAB WATERLINE, is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5 for the rehabilitation of water distribution lines to meet fire flow requirements in Alaska, issued by the National Park Service, Alaska Regional Office. The solicitation, numbered 140P9726R0002, was posted on July 17, 2026, with a response deadline of August 6, 2026, and targets a firm-fixed-price contract to upsize existing waterlines, install new connections to the main distribution system, and reinstall service lines, fire hydrants, gate valves, and related appurtenances. The work must comply with detailed technical specifications, construction drawings, and seismic testing requirements outlined in over 200 pages of attachments, and is governed by the Davis-Bacon Act under Wage Determination AK20260001. The contractor must submit a comprehensive proposal via email, adhering to strict formatting rules including a 30 MB file size limit, a required subject line format, and inclusion of a technical narrative, construction schedule, past performance documentation, and pricing for two base line items: waterline rehabilitation and service entrance upgrades. All proposals must be from small businesses currently registered in SAM with an active CAGE code and validated annual representations, and must conform without alteration to all solicitation terms. Performance must begin within ten calendar days of award and be completed within 335 calendar days, with an estimated period of performance from June 1, 2026, to October 31, 2026. The project requires the contractor to maintain a robust safety program, provide performance and payment bonds in SF25-23a and SF25A-23a formats, and carry general liability and builder’s risk insurance—though the latter is not reimbursable by NPS. All materials must be delivered and handled per stringent packaging and handling standards including manufacturer-sealed containers, avoidance of damaging lifting equipment, and compliance with ASTM and EPA recycling requirements for packaging materials. The contract mandates full compliance with Buy American provisions, prohibitions on trafficking in persons, and nondisclosure agreements for classified information. Evaluation will be based on a best value trade-off approach considering technical capability, past performance in Alaska, safety program strength, and price reasonableness, with proposals failing any compliance gate eliminated from consideration. Payment will be processed electronically through the U.S
