Coast Guard Civil Engineering Unit, Juneau, Alaska, is seeking as-needed services of a full-service tower engineering, inspection and maintenance firm capable of performing on-site inspection and maintenance of towers ranging from 50 feet tall to 1,350 feet tall throughout the State of Alaska. The scope of the resultant contract includes possible contract support to other Department of Homeland Security agencies within the State of Alaska. Coast Guard tower sites are varied, ranging from small communication towers to large Long Range Navigation towers. Project types may include inspections, structural analysis, design solutions and minor maintenance. The selected firm must have substantial experience inspecting and maintaining both guyed and freestanding towers including guy wire tension measurement, alignment and twist calculations, and inspection of structural anchors and tower pedestals. Minor maintenance will be performed as a part of the inspection effort, including touch-up painting, cold galvanizing, replacing bolts and tower diagonals/horizontals, and adjusting and replacing guy wire hardware. Additionally, the selected firm must be capable of performing structural analysis calculations of existing towers and design of new tower installations including making calculations to place additional equipment onto existing towers. The A-E shall be capable of producing detailed construction drawings and specifications for tower projects of both new construction and maintenance and retrofitting of existing structures, along with accompanying cost estimates at various stages of design completion. The A-E must also be capable of performing structural analysis of tower structures using a finite element analysis program including providing detailed hand calculations to verify the computer generated results. Some work may be subject to statutory fee limitations and design-within-funding limitations. All design work submitted under the resultant contract must be in accordance with the Construction Specification Institute (CSI) format. Delivery of services will be negotiated on a task order basis as needed. The A-E must be proficient in electronic correspondence. The selected firm may be required to sign a security agreement.

The total amount will not exceed $1,500,000 per year and shall not exceed $300,000 per Task Order. The contract will provide for a minimum guarantee of $25,000 during the effective period of the contract, which will be for one year from the date of award. The contract will include four one-year renewal options. The total life of the contract, including all options, shall not exceed five years. The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards.
