Quick Summary
The National Park Service (NPS), under the Department of the Interior, is conducting a market survey (Sources Sought) to identify qualified contractors for hazard tree removal and debris disposal at Julian Price Memorial Park Campground and the Price Picnic Area on the Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. This project addresses significant storm damage from Hurricane Helene. Responses are due by March 13, 2026, 5:00 PM EDT.
Scope of Work
The project involves the identification, planning, removal, and disposal of hazard trees and storm-related debris across approximately 90 acres (62 acres in the campground and 28 acres in the picnic area). The primary goals are to ensure public safety, protect park infrastructure, and maintain the natural environment. This work is significantly more extensive than routine maintenance due to the storm damage.
