Quick Summary
The National Park Service (NPS), under the Department of the Interior, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) for Bridge Preservation services (YELL 338223) in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. This effort aims to gather information on interested businesses and their qualifications to inform the acquisition strategy and potential small business set-aside for a future competitive solicitation. Responses are due by May 28, 2026, at 2 PM Mountain Time.
Purpose
This Sources Sought Notice is for market research only. The NPS seeks to identify qualified businesses capable of performing bridge preservation work to develop an acquisition strategy and determine if a small business set-aside is appropriate for the subsequent solicitation. No proposals are being requested at this time.
Scope of Work
The project involves preservation work on three bridges: Lava Creek Bridge, Thumb Creek Bridge, and Unnamed Creek Bridge, all located within Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Key tasks include:
- Concrete spall repair and crack sealing.
- Repairing and repointing stone masonry.
- Structural concrete repairs.
- Bridge expansion joint cleaning, repair, and sealing.
- Bridge railing repair and painting.
- Hydro-demolition and epoxy overlay.
- Erosion repair and pavement markings.
- Site clearing, traffic control, and temporary works. Top-down construction is specifically required for the majority of work at Thumb and Unnamed Creek bridges. The anticipated period of performance is 155 calendar days.
