Y--DB Centennial Trail Boardwalk Replacement

The U.S. Department of the Interior is conducting market research to identify a qualified design‑build firm to replace approximately 990 linear feet of low‑maintenance, resilient boardwalks along the Centennial Trail in Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, Gulf Shores, Alabama. The contract (anticipated firm‑fixed‑price, $1 M‑$5 M) will require full architectural and engineering design, geotechnical investigation, surveying, permitting support, and construction of multiple boardwalk segments (five locations ranging from 50 ft to 594 ft). Boards must meet ABA/ADA standards (curbs required, handrails optional), be suitable for salt‑water/acidic coastal and wetland soils, and may include optional demolition of an existing wetland segment. The contractor must deliver phased design documents (35 % schematic, 65 % design development, 95 % construction documents, 100 % final) with calculations, cost estimates, CAD/specifications, and a 21‑day Government review cycle, and provide as‑built and close‑out documentation within a 365‑day performance period. Respondents must submit a capability statement (≤10 pages, plus cover, firm profile, resumes, and appendices for licenses and bonding) that includes company information, socioeconomic status, an Alabama General Contractor license (if required), and availability of an Alabama‑registered land surveyor and geotechnical engineer (in‑house or subcontracted). The statement must detail three to five recent coastal or wetland boardwalk design‑build projects completed within the last seven years, demonstrate familiarity with CSI Uniformat/GMP estimating, bonding capacity, OSHA/traffic control, NEPA/permit coordination, and outline a construction schedule addressing refuge access windows and long‑lead items. Submissions are due April 2, 2026, 2:00 PM ET to Contracting Officer JoAnn Mallory (joann_mallory@ios.doi.gov).
