- Description
- The USDA Forest Service has a requirement for a two-phase design build marina dock project at the Allegheny National Forest located on the Bradford Ranger District, Kinzua-Wolf Marina, Mead Township, Warren County, Pennsylvania. The Marina is located on the Allegheny Reservoir (Kinzua Dam) on Route 59 East approximately 12 miles from Warren, PA. After crossing the Morrison Bridge on Route 59 the Marina is located on the left. The Marina has undergone extensive renovations in the past few years that include new docks, upgrading the water and electrical systems, construction of a handicap ACC fishing trail and paving of the parking lots. Currently the marina has 206 slips for boats. The Allegheny Reservoir is a flood controlled reservoir, maintained by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The water elevation varies throughout the year. Normal elevation during boating season is 1328 feet with expected operating levels varying from 1318 to 1335 feet. The existing dock system is a floating dock system comprised of smaller dock sections and variable sized fingers. The docks are made of high-density molecular polyethylene and filled with expanded polystyrene (EPS). The floatation units are bolted to the structure with bolt and nut assemblies and spaced to provide the desired buoyancy. The decking is a non-structural component Composite Hardwood material and the fenders are made of black molded polyethylene fender and are installed at each finger dock. Access to the docks is provided by three 60’ gangways (Docks A, B & E) and one 80’ ADA accessible gangway at dock H. Dock H was designed to offer extra protection to the other docks from wind and waves, but each dock is secured into place with winches and steel cables tethered to concrete anchors resting on the reservoir’s bottom. This winch/cable system allows for the docks to be adjusted for varying water levels. The marina docks provide a number of varied services to boaters including water spigots, a supply shack, gas pump and coin operated sewage pump. The water and electric are provided to the complex by new and updated facilities on the shore. Water is provided to the docks (E & H), a new water fountain along the shore, the toilet building and the bait shop through newly installed water lines. Two wells serve the marina; one feeds the restaurant and the other pumps to a storage tank by the tree line near Route 59. The storage tank gravity feeds all the lines to the docks and the shoreline facilities. Drain lines are located at various points on the line to winterize the system. Electric is fed from the new Penelec Transformer to both the upgraded existing panel board and the new panel board. The new panel board provides electricity to the docks including Dock Marine Power & Lighting Lighthouse Pedestals, Safety Pedestals, Bender Ground Fault Monitor & Spares. The upgraded existing electrical panel provides electricity to the Bait Shop, Well Pump & Pump Shutoff, Gas pumps, Light Poles, Low Level Alarm & Chlorine Injector Pump. All of the docks are equipped with safety measures including pedestals that contain fire extinguishers, life rings and a warning light and alarm. The water system is protected from contamination; stainless steel screens on all drain lines and an RPZD backflow preventer on each waterline near the sewer pumpout. Additional safety is provided by the Bender ground fault monitor which measures electrical current leaks into the water. Project Scope The proposed contract includes the design and construction of a new floating dock system utilizing the existing bulkhead at the far west end of the marina. The work includes, but is not limited to, evaluating the bulkhead for structural stability, installation of new conduits and circuits for the electrical supply system and extensions to the existing water supply system to provide service to the new dock. Work incorporates the full range of design, fabrication, construction and installation services necessary to achieve a fully functioning system. The design of the floating dock system is to be completed for possible future use and extension up to 550 feet, including the gangway. It is anticipated that due to budget constraints, that it may not be possible to purchase and install the entire designed dock system under the base contract. The installation of the dock system will allow for as many slips as possible to be constructed in accordance with the funding available. The phase one portion of this two-phase design build project is to initially evaluate offerors qualifications to determine their capability to perform the project. The highest rated offerors from Phase One (a total of 5 top rated firms will be chosen) will be furnished a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Phase Two portion and asked to submit technical proposals and pricing. The Government reserves the right to negotiate with any or all offerors or award without discussion on the Phase Two solicitation portion of this requirement to the offeror submitting the best value proposal. Cost for submission of price and technical proposals will not be compensated. The Phase One evaluation criteria that firms are to address in their proposal is: 1) Technical Approach (but does not include a detailed design or specific technical information on the actual design). 2) Specialized Experience to include the offeror(s) past dock system design and construction experiences on similar projects completed over the past five years. Experience is relevant when the offeror has been confronted with the kinds of work or challenges that will be present under the contract contemplated. The offeror will be assessed by the relevant experience on the basis of its breadth and its depth. For each relevant contract or reference, the offeror shall provide (a) name and location of the project; (b) Contact name and phone number of customer or their agent; (c) whether the offeror was the prime contractor or a subcontractor; (d) list of subcontractors and suppliers used; (e) brief description of project and work performed; (f) dollar values of the projects. 3) Technical competence, offeror shall demonstrate and discuss their technical competence and ability to perform this project. 4) Capability to Perform. Offeror shall discuss their capacity, available personnel and other areas to demonstrate their capability to perform this project. 5) Past Performance of the offeror’s team (including the architect-engineer and construction members). Past performance is relevant when the offeror has satisfied performance factors with customers in the past and complied with Federal, State, and Local Laws and Regulations. The assessment of past performance will be subjective and based mainly on the offeror’s reputation with their customers and others. References will be contacted for information regarding their opinion on the following: (a) capability, efficiency and effectiveness; (b) performance conformed to the terms and conditions of the contract; (c) reasonableness and cooperation during performance; (d) commitment to quality work and timely completion. Offerors with no past performance will be rated as “Neutral” in this category and not necessarily be rejected. The Forest Service reserves the right to contact references other than those provided by offeror for rating Past Performance. The highest five rated offerors from Phase One will be selected to submit Phase Two proposals. The competitive range will not exceed five unless the Contracting Officer determines that a number greater than five is in the government’s best interest. The Government will notify those offerors that did not make the competitive range and will not be considered for further evaluations. Those firms making the top five will be sent a Request for Proposal and evaluated to determine the best value based on the following evaluation factors: 1) Design concepts, conceptual design and drawings; 2) Management approach; 3) Key personnel; 4) Proposed technical solutions; 5) Schedule/timelines with specific milestones; 6) Discussion of potential problems that may be encountered and solutions including a Quality Control and Quality Assurance Plan. The total budget for this entire project of design-build is $280,000.00. This project is advertised as full and open competition in accordance with the Small Business Competitive Demonstration Program. The NAICS Code for this project is 237990. Any questions in response to this announcement should be directed to Teresa Corse, 814-728-6288. Phase One proposals are to be submitted to: USDA FS, North Eastern Acquisition Team, 4 Farm colony Drive, Warren, PA 16365, Attn: Teresa Corse. Please reference the RFP Number AG-24H8-S-10-0099 on the outside of the envelope. Offeror is to submit an original and three copies of their proposals. Proposals are due for this Phase One at 2:00 p.m. eastern time on June 2, 2010.
