Quick Summary
The National Park Service (NPS) is conducting a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) for market research to identify qualified businesses for a project involving the replacement of waterlines at the National Mall and Memorial Parks (NAMA) in Washington D.C. This SSN will inform the acquisition strategy, including potential small business or socio-economic set-asides. Responses are due by June 25, 2026, at 12 Noon Eastern Time.
Scope of Work
The project entails replacing waterlines from the water treatment building to the Lincoln Reflecting Pool. A specific 146 linear foot section, running parallel to a tree dripline, will be repaired using the cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) method. Key requirements include implementing measures to prevent soil erosion and discharge of soil-bearing water runoff, minimizing visitor impact as the park will remain open during construction, and protecting the site's historic/natural/cultural resources. The anticipated period of performance is 270 calendar days, potentially including seasonal or winter construction.
Detailed technical specifications are provided in the Drawings_NAMA_340706_Waterlines.pdf document, which includes 100% Final Construction Documents for the Lincoln Reflecting Pool repair. These drawings outline the exact scope, materials (e.g., HDPE and Ductile Iron pipe), construction methods, and site restoration requirements, covering aspects like demolition/restoration plans, pool piping replacement, and various construction details.
