Dismal Swamp State Park - Equipment Storage Building

This solicitation requests construction of an approximately 1,700 square foot equipment storage building at Dismal Swamp State Park that will include five open-air bays with gravel and electrical services. The work must comply with North Carolina Building and ADA codes and is being managed by the State's construction procurement office in coordination with the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, Division of Parks and Recreation. The estimated value range shown on the aggregator is $150,000–$300,000 and the contract period begins on award and will be completed per project specifications.

Unless otherwise specified by the Refuge Manager or representative, the contractor shall chip/masticate all cut and bundled stems using low ground pressure equipment within the unit. Woody debris should be chipped/masticated and distributed evenly throughout the stand to the greatest extent possible. Protecting the large-diameter residual pines (>15” DBH) from damage is high priority and will have a compaction-free buffer area of 20’ radius from tree center to the greatest extent possible. In addition to the large-diameter pines, all residual trees should be free of damage from the operation of equipment to the greatest extent possible. Contractor shall avoid damaging the root mat and bole of any known red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) trees (typically marked with numbered tags and white paint); these trees are considered potential nest sites and protected under the Endangered Species Act. See attached file.

Provide necessary engineering, architectural, and other professional services to design and provide contract administration for a metal building to be used as an equipment maintenance and storage facility.

This Quick Quote solicits fixed-price bids to furnish two complete storage mini-buildings and deliver them to park ranger residences. The posting references James River State Park in the title but the description on the aggregator also mentions delivery to ranger residences at New River State Park, Galax, VA (inconsistent location text on aggregator). The procurement is managed by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation and is a small-business set-aside equipment purchase.
