Description

General: The National Park Service, Department of Interior, is conducting a sources sought for the work described below. This notification is for market research purposes to identify potential contractors who have the skills, experience, and knowledge required to successfully complete this effort and does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement will be accomplished. This is not a request for proposal or invitation for bid. NPS would like interested parties to submit related project experience and resumes for key individuals to Marian Gordon at Marian_Gordon@nps.gov, or via fax to 303-987-6646 by close of business Tuesday, April 24, 2007. Project Description: Work will include replacement of portions of concrete pavements and stairs, patch repair of spalls and delaminations at concrete elements with an exposed aggregate finish, replication or repair of concrete piers and decorative elements (urns, ballisters and other pre-formed objects), repair of concrete with imbedded elements, and repair of cracks in historic concrete. NAICS 238110 Concrete Repair. Meridian Hill Park is located in Washington, D.C. approximately one and one-half miles north of the White House. It is one of Washington's most important and historic parks in the tradition of the monumental, federal parks of the Mall. Bounded by 16th Street on the west, Euclid Street on the north, 15th Street on the east and W Street on the south, Meridian Hill Park is located within a diverse and changing neighborhood. Originally envisioned as "a classical villa landscape at the center of a vibrant and interesting residential neighborhood", the park continues to play an important role in the physical as well as social landscape of the neighborhood. Meridian Hill Park was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1994, as "an outstanding accomplishment of early 20th-century Neoclassicist park design in the United States" This significant historic resource was originally created to provide visitors and the citizens of Washington D.C. with a formal garden comparable to the public gardens of Paris, Rome and other foreign capital cities. Among its distinctive architectural features are walks, terraces, pools, fountains, and cascades that were constructed of exposed concrete aggregate, using the pioneering techniques developed by craftsman John Earley Despite being the object of several years of repair and restoration, a large amount of deteriorated exposed aggregate retaining walls, paving, and steps remains and deterioration of walls and paving continues. The National Park Service (NPS) seeks interest from experts in the concrete industry capable of providing expert advise, formula development services, and ongoing repair of the decorative concrete. Formulas for the concrete mixes for repair have been developed, but the Park has varied concrete within and additional mixes and formulas may need to be developed. There are slight variations in the same mix for the concrete in different locations; therefore, some adjustment must be made to create samples to match specific locations. Work will include replacement of portions of concrete pavements and stairs, patch repair of spalls (missing, damaged or deteriorated locations) and delaminations at concrete elements with an exposed aggregate finish, and replication or repair of concrete piers and decorative elements. Spalls are both shallow and deep, deep spalls being those which have exposed rebar within the spalled area and shallow spalls those with no visible reinforcing (prior to cleaning and preparation for repair). Some repairs may require injection grout and/or repair mortar. Title of Project: Repair and Maintenance of Historic Aggregate Concrete, Meridian Hill Park, Washington, DC Type of Procurement: NPS is exploring the possibility of soliciting and awarding a multiple year IDIQ contract to satisfy this need and is trying to determine the contractor interest, availability, and expertise in this type of requirement. Submit: Please indicate your company's interest in the project by submitting a Company profile with "resume" of your company's experience specific to Historic Aggregate Concrete work.
