PART 3 - EXECUTION 3. Kentucky Lock is the busiest navigation lock in the Nashville District and it can be assumed that the amount of vessel traffic transiting the project will be very high. Delays to industry and the boating public have to be kept as short as possible. The floating boom wall, which is approximately 487 feet in length, is very integral to the ability to safely process vessels through the project. Large vessels will land on the wall to assist in their alignment upon entry and exit of the lock chamber. Commercial vessels will also use the wall to tie-off to as they reform their string of barges, called a tow. 3.1 Delays to vessel traffic, due to contractor work activities, shall not exceed 2 hours during any 6 hour period of time. 3.2 The functionality afforded by the floating boom wall to large vessels, especially as mentioned above, must be maintained throughout the duration of the contract. 3.3 Attachment of composite mounting brackets and composite timbers shall be in accordance with supplied drawings. Approximately 160 feet of the composite timber installation on the front side of the wall has already been completed. 3.4 Inspection of pontoon connection bolts will require strict adherence to proper confined space procedures. Contractor will report on condition of bolts after inspection has concluded. 3.5 Radio communications capability must be maintained between the contractor personnel conducting the work and lock project personnel via vhf marine radios. 3.6 All work found not meeting above requirements, to include unsatisfactory workmanship, shall be repaired or replaced, as directed by the Contracting Officers Representative, at no additional cost to the government. The proposed NAICS code is 237990. The small business standard is $33.5M. This acquisition is 100% set-aside for small business. A site visit for this procurement is anticipated. Further information regarding the site visit will be announced in the solicitation. From this IFB, the Government intends to award one firm-fixed price contract. The Government intends to award without discussion. Any communication regarding this procurement must be made in writing and forwarded to via email or facsimile and must identify the IFB number, and point of contact. Bidders must be successfully registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR), www.ccr.gov, in order to receive a Government contract award.
