Quick Summary
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), through its DSC Contracting Services Division, has issued a Sole Source Justification for a firm-fixed-price construction contract. This opportunity is for concrete surface repairs and the installation of a high-performance polyurea coating system at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The action is justified under FAR 6.103-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency, to ensure completion before the Nation's 250th anniversary event series. The estimated value is $10,256,576.
Scope of Work
This project involves comprehensive repairs and coating application to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Key requirements include:
- Surface preparation: Shot blasting and sandblasting.
- Crack and joint repair: Using manufacturer-approved sealants.
- Coating System Installation: Application of a multi-component Rhino Linings system (Rhino CCW Polyurea, Rhino 11-35 Polyurea, Rhino 406 Epoxy Primer, Rhino Pipeliner 5000).
- Application Details: Epoxy primer and polyurea applied to a final thickness of 100 mils ±.
- Sealing: Horizontal coping joints must be sealed.
- Quality Assurance: Thickness verification, adhesion testing, and spark (holiday) testing.
- The final system must be seamless, monolithic, waterproof, antimicrobial, and anti-algae.
Contract & Timeline
- Contract Type: Firm-fixed-price construction contract.
- Estimated Value: The Independent Government Estimate (IGE) is $10,256,576.
- Period of Performance: In-pool work is scheduled from April 6 to May 22.
- Mobilization: Required by April 1-3.
- Published Date: May 1, 2026.
Evaluation & Award
This is a sole source justification, indicating a non-competitive award to Atlantic Industrial Coating Limited Liability Company. The justification cites unusual and compelling urgency as the reason for other than full and open competition. A competitive procurement cycle was estimated to introduce a 10-15 week delay, which would prevent completion before the Nation's 250th anniversary.
Additional Notes
The selected contractor must demonstrate experience with Rhino Linings multi-component polyurea systems and heated plural-component spray equipment. Immediate mobilization capability is critical. This work is deemed essential for public safety, resource protection, and operational readiness for the 250th anniversary.
