Y--JELA 325249 - Replace Jones Point Trailer at Jean Lafitte National Historical P

The National Park Service, through the Department of the Interior’s Denver Service Center, is conducting market research to prepare for the replacement of the Jones Point trailer at the Barataria Preserve portion of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve in Marrero, Louisiana. This effort is part of a broader initiative to address hurricane-related damage sustained during Hurricanes Zeta and Ida, which severely impacted the aging, converted construction trailer now beyond its intended service life. The project also encompasses interior renovations to the Education Center and the former Visitor Center, including window and chiller system replacements, exhibit and office improvements, and restroom upgrades to add storage and a lactation room, all within a designated historic district requiring strict protective measures. The anticipated contract will be a single Firm-Fixed-Price award, with a proposed performance period of 490 calendar days concluding by May 2028, and winter construction may be necessary due to site-specific conditions. The work must be carefully scheduled to maintain park operations and minimize visitor disruption, with construction sites located 15 miles from the nearest suppliers and lodging, complicating logistics. The solicitation number is 140P2026R0082, with a competitive Request for Proposals expected in August or September 2026. Respondents to the survey are required to provide company identification, UEI, and socio-economic certifications under the NAICS code 236220, including eligibility for set-asides such as SBA-certified WOSB, EDWOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, VOSB, and Native American-owned categories. Bonding will include bid, performance, and payment bonds, and insurance is mandatory, with contractors expected to obtain all applicable Louisiana state licenses and permits. No formal solicitation, specifications, or drawings are available at this stage, as the current document is strictly a sources sought notice for market research purposes.
