The work involves upgrading wells, replacing distribution systems, and constructing a new septic system. The solicitation, with an anticipated release date of October 1, 2025, will be available on SAM.gov. A pre-proposal conference and site visit are tentatively scheduled for October 15, 2025.

Attachment 5, titled "General References," is a crucial form for offerors submitting proposals to the government. Its primary purpose is to collect comprehensive reference information, including details for sureties, corporate banks (two entries), insurance companies, and multiple subcontractors (three entries) and material suppliers (three entries). Offerors must provide names, addresses, contact persons, telephone numbers (including area codes), and specific details such as types and numbers of accounts for banks, types of policies for insurance companies, and areas of specialized work or types of material for subcontractors and material suppliers. A critical instruction emphasizes the need for offerors to disclose any less-than-satisfactory relationships with references, providing explanations and detailing corrective actions. This transparency is vital, as failure to do so could lead to an unfavorable assessment of the offeror's past performance and a determination of lack of candor with the government. The form underscores the government's requirement for thorough background checks and the offeror's responsibility for full disclosure in the contracting process.

The Past Performance Questionnaire (Solicitation No. 140P2025R0112) is a critical document for evaluating offerors in government contracting. It requires offerors to complete sections on their company and past project information, then transmit the questionnaire to a reference. The reference, in turn, completes sections evaluating the offeror's performance across various categories such as Quality, Schedule, Cost Control, Management, Small Business Subcontracting, and Regulatory Compliance. Each category includes specific performance elements and an overall rating with definitions ranging from Exceptional to Unsatisfactory. The reference also provides an overall recommendation. This questionnaire is deemed Source Selection Sensitive and its information cannot be used for promotional purposes. Completed questionnaires are to be returned to the Contracting Officer by December 5, 2025.

The Project Experience Questionnaire (Solicitation: 140P2025R0112) is a critical component for government contractors bidding on federal projects. It requires offerors to detail their past project experience relevant to the solicitation's evaluation subfactors. The document outlines a structured format for submitting information, including company details, specific project references, and a comprehensive contractor list with roles, trades, prices, and performance periods. Key questions prompt offerors to describe project work, address specific experience elements from the solicitation, explain changes to original prices and schedules, detail problems encountered and their resolutions, discuss successful means and methods, and provide any additional relevant project information. This questionnaire ensures that bidding contractors demonstrate their qualifications and ability to manage complex projects effectively, aligning with government procurement standards.

The Small Business Participation Document outlines requirements for offerors in federal government RFPs, grants, and state/local RFPs regarding small business involvement. Both large and small businesses must complete a Small Business Participation Proposal, detailing the percentage of work to be performed by prime and subcontractors, including specific categories like Small Disadvantaged Business, Woman-Owned Small Business, HUB Zone, Veteran Owned, and Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business. The document mandates a 100% combined total for large and small business participation. It also requires a description of commitments to use small businesses and a list of the principal supplies/services they will provide. Other than U.S. Small Businesses must submit a separate Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9 and FAR 19.704, which must align with their Participation Plan to be eligible for an award.

The Glacier National Park Utility Systems Replacement project (GLAC 318705) outlines improvements for the St. Mary Water, St. Mary Winter Septic, and Two Medicine Water systems. This project, managed by the National Park Service (NPS) - Denver Service Center (DSC), involves replacing and upgrading wells, water distribution systems, wastewater treatment, and associated infrastructure. The work is divided into three schedules, each with specific phasing requirements and site access restrictions to minimize impact on park operations and visitors. Key aspects include detailed contract line items for mobilization, distribution system improvements, groundwater wells, and treatment/control buildings, along with a definition of allowable costs for contract modifications. The project emphasizes environmental protection, safety, and coordination with existing park operations, including strict guidelines for hazardous materials and construction practices within the park boundaries.

The GLAC 318705 project involves replacing utility systems across three schedules: St. Mary Water System Improvements, St. Mary Winter Septic System Improvements, and Two Medicine Water System Improvements, with a completion date of July 29, 2025. The project requires strict adherence to various codes and standards, including health, safety, building, and accessibility regulations, and emphasizes wildlife protection, archaeological monitoring, and invasive species prevention within Glacier National Park. Key requirements include contractor responsibility for site safety, utility verification, debris disposal, and environmental protection, with detailed plans for civil, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems for each improvement area.

This geotechnical report by DOWL for the National Park Service outlines recommendations for replacing utility systems in Glacier National Park (GLAC-318705). The project encompasses seven sites: Many Glacier Hotel, Two Medicine, St. Mary, Lake McDonald, Logan Pass, and Granite Park Chalet. Fieldwork included geotechnical drilling at Many Glacier, Two Medicine, St. Mary, and Lake McDonald, and geophysical surveys at Logan Pass and Granite Park. Key findings indicate a minimal topsoil layer, underlain by glacial till and bedrock. Spread footing foundations are suitable for new structures, and a pavement section of four inches of asphalt over six inches of crushed aggregate is recommended. Excavating utility trenches should be feasible, though shallow bedrock at Many Glacier may require jackhammering or blasting. On-site native soils are suitable for engineered fill if rocks over six inches are removed or crushed. Groundwater was encountered at Two Medicine and Lake McDonald, and the potential for liquefaction is low.
