The anticipated performance period is 365 days, and while the Visitor Center will be closed during construction, the park will remain accessible to visitors. Interested businesses must submit information regarding their qualifications, bonding capacity, and prior experience by 5 PM EST on March 3, 2025.
This notice serves as preliminary market research to inform the NPS's acquisition strategy, with a full proposal expected to be released in the spring of FY 2025.
