- The National Park Service is seeking a contractor to provide Radio Communications System Maintenance Services at the Natchez Trace Parkway in Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi. The contractor shall provide all resources and management necessary to perform turn-key radio communications system maintenance and support services for the Natchez Trace Parkway radio communications system including all radios, consoles, microwave transmission equipment and VHF repeater equipment, system infrastructure, backup generators, batteries, monitoring equipment, towers located at 14 sites in three states, and all other equipment and devices that together make up the radio communications system. The system shall be maintained at a level consistent with OEM specifications and the communications industry standards, including the Motorola R-56 standard. The Natchez Trace Parkway is a unit of the National Park system and is not only dedicated to preserving the history associated with one of the country's earliest trails, but also provides scenic, cultural, natural, and recreational opportunities to 14 million visitors annually. The Parkway is an elongated park covering a distance of 444 miles between Natchez, Mississippi and Nashville, Tennessee with a boundary of almost 1,000 linear miles. The functionality of the radio communications system is critical in the performance of the mission and the operation of the Parkway. The system is primarily used by Ranger Law Enforcement Officers spread out over 444-miles of Parkway, and also serves as the main command and control tool for senior Park managers in directing resources. The contractor is required to keep this system functioning under any and all conditions. The solicitation covers a base and four option performance periods (not-to-exceed 5 years). The government expects to award a contract in time for performance to begin on December 1, 2005. This acquisition will be accomplished utilizing the Lowest Price/Technically Acceptable source selection process, as defined in FAR 15.101-2. Tradeoffs will not be made. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of the responsive, responsible proposals meeting the following three technical acceptability standards: (1) Offerors must currently be an Authorized Motorola Service Center; (2) Offerors must demonstrate relevant experience in maintaining microwave communications transmission systems; and (3) Offerors must have performed at least two contracts of similar size and scope within the past five years. This procurement is open to all sources. The applicable NAICS code is 811213 with an associated size standard of $6.0 million. This announcement is not the solicitation.
