Title of Project: VIIS 244621 Repair Housing
Description:
The purpose of this project it to repair and rehabilitate NPS employee housing units located on the island of St. John, U.S. The Virgin Islands U.S. Virgin Islands National Park and surrounding areas were impacted by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017. Severe damage was caused by the hurricane force winds, storm surge, tornadoes and the displacement of inanimate objects. Employee housing that is used by National Park Service (NPS) employees suffered severe damage. This project is to repair these housing units.

This is a very complex project located on the remote island of St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. The hurricane season is generally from June to October and may impact the construction schedule for this project. The project site is located on Lind Point, to the north of the Town of Cruz Bay. Access to the island is by boat and the closest airport is on the Island of St. Thomas. The project site is along the south side of Lind Point Road and the terrain is very steep. Staging for construction is constrained and additional area may need to be found off site. There is no water source to support the construction project. Please note: There are plans for a separate housing replacement project on the north side of Lind Point Road that is expected to be under construction during a similar time frame as this project, but that project has not been solicitated at this point.

This project generally consists of housing repair for NPS employees that support the Virgin Islands National Park. The housing consists of five (5) duplexes on the south side of the Lind Point Road and three (3) additional houses that are in various locations in the Park. The extent of work on the units widely varies. Work includes foundation repair, superstructure, roofing (from minor repair to full replacement), interior finishes, plumbing systems, HVAC, electrical, fire protection, interior finishes, selective demolition, site preparation and improvements and minor special construction. There is a mix of both historic and non-historic houses within this project. Please note: The project also may have elements of coordination with another planned project across the Lind Point Road from this project. The separate project is expected to run concurrently and encompasses site work including roads, driveways, parking, site walls, grading, utilities, stormwater, revegetation and limited demolition; however, this separate project has not been solicited at this point.

Type of Procurement: It is anticipated that a negotiated firm-fixed price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and price proposal. The government will consider an offeror¿s technical capability in comparison to its price.

Estimated Price Range: $5 million - $10 million

Estimated Period of Performance: September 2020 ¿ December 2021

Proposal Information:
Proposal receipt date is not known at this time. The actual date will be established in the solicitation documents.
