Quick Summary

The National Park Service (NPS), under the Department of the Interior, is seeking proposals for the transportation and installation of the bronze Caesar Rodney Equestrian Statue from New Castle, DE, to Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC. This opportunity is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Proposals are due by March 26, 2026, at 6:00 PM ET.

Scope of Work

The contractor will be responsible for providing a crane, qualified operator, and riggers to safely transport and install the approximately 7,500-pound, 14'1" high Caesar Rodney statue. Key tasks include fabricating cribbing or a support armature to stabilize the statue during transport, loading and transporting it from its current storage facility in New Castle, DE, to Freedom Plaza, Washington, DC, and installing it on a pre-existing 10-foot pedestal. The work requires careful rigging to prevent surface damage, coordination with NPS masons for anchor pin installation, and adherence to a site safety plan. The contractor must also obtain all necessary road closure, transport, and installation permits for Washington, DC, provide equipment matting to protect existing surfaces, identify and avoid underground utilities, and use protective materials to prevent hazardous material discharges. Crane setup and site logistics will be finalized during a pre-construction meeting.

Contract Details

This is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a firm fixed-price contract. The NAICS code is 238990 – All Other Specialty Trade Contractors, with a small business size standard of $19M. The Period of Performance is from April 12, 2026, to April 30, 2026. Award will be made to the lowest price compliant offer in accordance with FAR Part 13. Wage Determinations for Delaware (2015-4215) and the District of Columbia (2015-4281) are applicable.
