The estimated construction cost exceeds $10 million, and all work will be executed under a single prime contract. The NPS plans to issue a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) around Summer 2025, with a focus on minimizing visitor impact during construction. Interested contractors are asked to submit responses via a questionnaire by July 14, 2025, with no costs reimbursed to participants. The NAICS code for this project is 237310, relating to highway, street, and bridge construction. The document emphasizes the importance of understanding the interest level within the business community as it pertains to the project.

The United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, is seeking input through a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) to gauge contractor interest for a forthcoming project in West Virginia. The SSN includes a survey aimed at determining the capabilities and qualifications of potential contractors, particularly those considering bidding on construction contracts related to the rehabilitation of infrastructure, such as bridges and masonry restorations. Contractors are requested to provide company information, experience with federal projects, compliance capabilities with local regulations, bonding capacity, and any prior experience with the National Park Service. Additionally, the survey inquires about the contractor's small business certifications and the anticipated percentage of work they would self-perform. The importance of this survey lies in assisting in market research and the potential establishment of small business set-asides for the forthcoming Request for Proposal (RFP), anticipated for release around August or September 2025. The responses will influence the selection of the final solicitation method, ensuring appropriate engagement with qualified businesses before the project's expected completion in December 2026.
