Quick Summary
The National Park Service (NPS), under the Department of the Interior, is soliciting proposals for the repair of flood-damaged Titus Canyon Road in Death Valley National Park, Inyo County, California. This Total Small Business Set-Aside opportunity is for construction services estimated between $5,000,000.00 and $10,000,000.00. The proposal due date is Monday, February 9, 2026, at 9:00 AM Mountain Time.
Scope of Work
This project involves repairing approximately 14 miles of a one-lane, unpaved road severely damaged by extreme rain and erosion. Key tasks include repairing erosion gullies, armoring wash crossings with riprap, removing berms, and resurfacing the roadway. The scope also covers installing drain humps (water bars) and drainage channels, utilizing existing on-site materials where possible, and obtaining precast concrete barriers. Repairs at the Fall Canyon Trailhead, including regrading, riprap placement, and replacing a steel vehicle gate, are also required. The project emphasizes environmental compliance, with NPS providing biologists and monitors for sensitive areas, and requiring the use of bio-based fluids on-site. No work is permitted within the wilderness area, and specific archeological avoidance areas are identified.
