- Description
- This is a Sources Sought Synopsis only.NASA/JSC is hereby soliciting capabilities information from certified 8(a), HUBZone, andService Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns within a five stateregion consisting of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas for theconstruction project Upgrade Site Electrical Distribution System at JSC.The purpose of this request is to determine the appropriate level of competition inaccordance with FAR 19.10 Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program.Information received will be used to make a determination regarding the use of full andopen competition or to set aside the procurement as an 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSBset-aside. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor these sites for therelease of any solicitation or synopsis. It is anticipated the NASA/JSC will issue a solicitation for an Electrical Construction,Modification, Repair, and Rehabilitiation contract for the Upgrade Site ElectricalDistribution System. The NAICS code for the project is 238210 with a small business sizestandard of $14 million. This NAICS code ties directly with FAR 19 of the Small BusinessCompetitiveness Demonstration Program, under the title of Commercial and InstitutionalBuilding Construction. The magnitude of the project is between $1 million and $5 millionas set forth in FAR 36.204, Disclosure of the Magnitude of Construction Projects. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If asolicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA AcquisitionInternet Service. This project will upgrade the underground electrical distribution system, specificallythe splices located in the electrical manholes at Johnson Space Center. The project willevaluate all G&W (manufactured by G&W Electric) 12kV demountable splice locations inelectrical manholes and replace specified two-way splices with inline non-demountablesplices. The project will replace designated cable sections to establish new spliceinstallations.The splices will be replaced with either inline non-demountablesubmersible or Elastimold splices. In locations where there is not sufficient room inthe manhole for the new splices, the splices shall be brought above the ground tomaintain demount ability. For those locations requiring above ground option, an aboveground enclosure to house Elastimold type demountable splices shall be provided. Theenclosure shall provide sufficient room and adjacent area for linemen operation ofsplices. This project includes forty-eight splices containing two hundred and eighty-eightindividual cable terminations.Thirty-three splices will be changed to inlinenon-demountable splices. Fifteen splices will need to be reviewed for applicable changeto Elastimold demountable located either above the ground or in a manhole. Estimationand configuration is as known, but not limited to the above listed items. Actual fieldverification of all quantities is required. Personnel to perform replacement of splicesshould be certified by a registered training institute inline with this type of work. Theproject will also reroute and extend the existing feeders serving Switch 400 to the 12kVswitch feeding Building 420 transformer. The rerouting and extensions of the existingtwo feeders will extend feeders 1-11 and 508 from manhole 3 to manhole 1 and then toswitch 420-1.Certified 8(a), HUBZone and SDVOSB General Construction Companies capable of performingas prime contractors that meet the requirements of this synopsis are asked to submitcapability statements in no more than seven (7) pages. Material submitted shall notcontain binding of any kind or be submitted in hard or soft folders.
