Description
The National Park Service is seeking naval architecture and engineering services to develop designs and lifecycle cost estimates for the rehabilitation of the Steam Ferry Boat Eureka. The project aims to retain the engine/boiler room and the casings that contain the walking beam/A-frame and the smokestack. The superstructure, including the car deck, will be repaired and not replaced. The project is located at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, California, and the surrounding area is urban, located in Vallejo, California. The structure is a historic/natural/cultural resource for the park. The anticipated period of performance is 120 calendar days, including any potential weather shutdown.
Key points to consider:
• The project involves rehabilitation of a 100+ year old ship.
• The project requires naval architecture and engineering services.
• The superstructure will likely require substantial repairs to subcomponents.
• The project is expected to be completed within 120 calendar days.
• The National Park Service anticipates issuing a competitive Request for Qualifications (RFQ) around October 2026 and a Request for Proposal (RFP) around December 2026.
