This government file clarifies discrepancies in quantities and specifications for interpretive waysides and sled bases, which are part of federal government RFPs. The National Park Service (NPS) requires three graphic panels and one sled base, specifically two 36” x 24” panels and one 60” x 24” panel. One sled base will be fabricated to fit a 36” x 24” panel. All aluminum sled bases are to have a clear powder coat finish. This document resolves conflicting information found in the SF 18, statement of work, and solicitation, ensuring accurate production quantities and material finishes for the project.

This Request for Quotation (RFQ) by the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP), part of the National Park Service (NPS), seeks proposals for the design, fabrication, and shipping of interpretive waysides and sled bases. These installations will support an Inclusive Storytelling Grant by sharing narratives of enslaved people at Arlington House and other Parkway sites. The scope includes designing three waysides of specified dimensions, fabricating them with typical NPS materials, and creating one sled base. The contractor will receive content from GWMP and must adhere to NPS design standards. Quotes are evaluated based on technical capability, past performance, and price, with a firm-fixed-price award intended. Key clauses include prohibitions on certain telecommunications equipment and requirements for electronic invoicing via the Internet Payment Platform (IPP).
