- Description
- The National Park Service, Harpers Ferry Center, is soliciting proposals for the planning and design of new and replacement signs, and the manufacture and replacement of signs and interpretive wayside exhibits consistent with National Park Service (NPS) UniGuide standards for all units of the National Park System. Work produced under this contract (environmental planning, design, and manufacture of a broad range of outdoor signs for use in, or leading to, National Parks) will be in accordance with comprehensive and well-detailed standards recently developed by the agency. The signs produced under the standards include a wide-range of types (e.g., park entrance and facility identity, motorist guidance, pedestrian wayfinding, safety, interpretive, and general information) as well as related hardware (e.g., trash bag dispensers, outdoor bulletin cases, and brochure dispensers). Sign structures are manufactured in a variety of materials including wood, steel, and aluminum, and less frequently in concrete, stone, and brick; sign panel materials include porcelain enamel, high density laminates, fiberglass embedments, cut vinyl, routed wood, and applied retro-reflective surfaces. In addition to sign manufacture, the work will require environmental graphic planning and design services, as well as sign delivery. Additionally, the work will require the development and gradual phase-in of an automated data system to enable electronic ordering and to serve as a repository of sign plans and other files necessary for inventories and reorders. Speed of delivery is essential, and may eventually require an inventory of hardware components and selected sign panels. The National Park Service is an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior with units in 49 states as well as Guam and the Virgin Islands. It is responsible for the management of over 83,000,000 acres of land visited annually by 429,000,000 people. Park visitors travel along 8,000 miles of roads and 14,000 miles of trails and are currently guided and informed by an estimated inventory of signs ranging in number from 100,000 to 800,000. Contract award is contigent upon NPS Exhibit 300 approval from the NPS Information Technology Investment Council. The contract will initially be negotiated for a one-year period with four one-year options and award term provisions for continuance of the contract for up to 10 years.
