DENA 332037 Eielson Roof Replacement

The National Park Service is seeking market research for the rehabilitation of the Eielson Visitor Center and associated utility building within Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska, under solicitation number 140P2026R0087, with the project titled DENA 332037 Eielson Roof Replacement. This is a sources sought notice, not a solicitation, meaning proposals are not being accepted at this time. The primary scope includes full replacement of the vegetated roofing systems at both structures to address water infiltration, along with demolition of existing exterior stairs and skylights, removal of select architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical components, and comprehensive interior and exterior rehabilitation. Site drainage modifications are required, as well as upgrades to the existing hydroelectric power generation system and accessibility enhancements to meet the International Code Council 2024 family of codes. The project will be awarded as a Firm-Fixed-Price contract and is set aside entirely for small businesses under FAR 19.5. Contractors must respond via a survey questionnaire that collects company information, Unique Entity ID, SBA certifications including EDWOSB, HUBZone, VOSB, SDVOSB, WOSB, and Native Americanowned status, bonding capacity, and the percentage of work the bidder intends to self-perform. The place of performance is an extremely remote location approximately 240 miles northeast of Anchorage and 66 miles west of the Denali Park entrance, requiring the contractor to provide all workforce housing, communications, sanitary facilities, waste management, and logistical support without any government-provided infrastructure. Work is constrained to a narrow operational window, limited to 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days a week, with substantial completion required within a single construction season due to environmental sensitivity and limited seasonal access. The total contract period of performance is set at 432 calendar days from award, with onsite work expected to be completed within 160 calendar days following notice to proceed. Bonding, insurance, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations are anticipated requirements, though no specifications, drawings, or formal evaluation factors have been released as this phase is focused on assessing contractor capability and socioeconomic participation.
