AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is conducting market research for a forthcoming construction project to rehabilitate three facilities at the J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge in Lee County, Florida, under solicitation number 140FGA26Q0026. This action is a Sources Sought Notice, not a formal solicitation, aimed at gathering industry capabilities to inform future procurement. The anticipated contract is a firm fixed price construction contract under NAICS code 236220, with an estimated value between $500,000 and $1,000,000, exclusively set aside for small businesses. The scope includes comprehensive repairs and upgrades to the Government Residences at 950 and 948 Tarpon Bay Road, the Wildlife Observation Tower, and the Cross-Dike Pavilion. Work involves replacing damaged metal flashing, repairing storm shutters, front entry doors, concrete spalling, and fiber board ceilings, removing a generator transfer switch, replacing approximately 250 square feet of roofing and underlayment at the observation tower, removing and transferring solar panels to refuge staff, and constructing a new ADA-compliant ramp with a pressure-treated lumber and hog fence panel railing system at the pavilion. All work must comply with the Florida Building Code, be fully tested and ready for use, and meet strict environmental standards, including diverting at least 50% of project waste from landfills. The contractor must maintain continuous onsite supervision by a fluent English speaker, ensure proper licensing, and adhere to daily housekeeping standards to avoid work stoppages. Subcontractors require government approval, and coordination with other contractors is mandatory without recourse for delays caused by interference. Responses must include the Unique Entity Identifier, business type, documentation of two to five similar past projects with final prices and locations, and a capacity statement affirming ability to perform the work. No reimbursement is provided for response costs. The response deadline was June 10, 2026, with responses to be submitted via email to the designated point of contact. The anticipated period of performance, if awarded, would run from March 1, 2026, through October 1, 2026, with time being of the essence and potential liquidated damages for delays. The Government will not issue formal contract clauses or delivery schedules until after the market research phase is complete.
