Y--Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve TIMU-335507 Stabilize Kingsley Plan

The U.S. Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service and Dsc Contracting Services Division, is conducting market research via a Sources Sought Notice for the stabilization of the shoreline at Kingsley Plantation within the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve in Jacksonville, Florida. The project aims to repair existing damage to the shoreline and seawall while extending the structure to encompass the cultural landscape, ensuring long-term resilience against storms and erosion. The anticipated contract value ranges between $1 million and $5 million, with a planned performance period of 259 calendar days, inclusive of potential weather delays. The work will be performed at 11676 Palmetto Ave, Jacksonville, FL, where the site is designated as a historic, natural, and cultural resource requiring strict protective measures to prevent disturbance to surrounding features. The park will remain open to the public during construction, necessitating logistics and scheduling that minimize visitor disruption, with material deliveries restricted to Mondays and Tuesdays when the park is closed to the public, and any other days requiring prior approval from the Contracting Officer on a case-by-case basis. The contractor must coordinate deliveries daily with the Contracting Officer and plan for hurricanes and tropical storms common to the region. The anticipated contract type is Firm-Fixed-Price, with bonding requirements including Bid, Performance, and Payment Bonds, as well as comprehensive insurance coverage. The NAICS code is 237990 with a size standard of $45 million, and the government is evaluating eligibility for potential small business or socio-economic set-asides, including categories such as WOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, and Native American-owned businesses. Respondents are required to submit information via a questionnaire addressing company details, UEI, SBA certifications, bonding capacity, and the estimated percentage of work intended for self-performance. No solicitation, proposal package, specifications, or drawings are available at this stage; the notice is strictly for market research purposes to inform the issuance of a competitive Request for Proposals anticipated in the summer of 2026.
