The contract involves the complete replacement of outdated Mitsubishi mini-split HVAC systems with new, energy-efficient units across designated facilities within the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia.

The scope includes procurement, removal, and environmentally compliant disposal of existing units per EPA regulations, installation of 18 new outdoor and indoor units with vibration isolation, operational testing, programming of digital thermostats, submission of final redline drawings, and proof of refrigerant disposal. All work must adhere to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Historic Preservation, NPS safety and cleanliness protocols, NATE certification requirements for technicians, and applicable federal, state, and local building codes. Contractors are responsible for securing all necessary permits, maintaining facility operations during construction at their own expense, and immediately halting work upon discovery of archaeological items, with equitable adjustments available for resulting delays. Proposals must be submitted electronically by May 14, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time in three clearly labeled volumes—Technical, Past Performance, and Price—each accompanied by a cover sheet containing the offeror’s SAM UEI number and solicitation details. Evaluation is conducted under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) framework, where technical ability and past performance are jointly weighted equally with cost; proposals deemed unacceptable in either technical approach or past performance are disqualified regardless of price. Compliance with numerous FAR clauses governs contract execution, including prohibitions on gratuities, kickbacks, and contingent fees, privacy notifications, lead-based paint restrictions, and inspection procedures per FAR 52.246-12 and 52.246-13. Invoicing must be submitted exclusively through the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Internet Payment Platform, and all documents must clearly indicate the contract number. The contracting officer, Yanick Bard of the National Park Service’s Southeast Region office in Atlanta, retains final authority for acceptance, with Anthony Saieva identified as the alternate contracting officer’s representative at the park site. No pricing data is populated in the contract, indicating the price will be determined through competitive offer submission under the LPTA method.
