- Description
- Place of Performance: Vietnam Estimated price: More than $10,000,000 Tentative Solicitation Date: April 20, 2011 Tentative Site-walk opportunity: May 16, 2011 Tentative Question and Answer Meeting: May 17, 2011 Tentative Proposal Due Date: June 15, 2011 Estimated Period of Performance: December 2011 to October 2015 for performance, and up to an additional 6 months for contract closeout activities. Technical Specifications: All design documents, specifications, and drawings will be available for inspection without charge before the release of the RFP at the offices of USAID/Vietnam in Hanoi, Vietnam. This documentation will be made available to interested bidders on a compact disc (CD) without charge at the time the RFP is released. The RFP will be released electronically on www.fbo.gov; interested bidders who wish to receive a copy of this CD must provide their mailing address to the contact listed in this notice. Small Business Considerations: This contract is not restricted to small businesses. Source/Origin/Nationality: The prime contractor must be of U.S. nationality. Private Vietnamese entities are eligible for subcontracts of up to $5 million per subcontract for construction services. Additionally, an aggregate of $5 million under the prime contract of local goods and non-construction services is also permitted. Waivers of these requirements, other than the prime contractor's nationality, are being considered and will be defined before release of the RFP. Description of Proposed Work: The airport in Da Nang, Vietnam has been referred to as a dioxin "hotspot" due to high dioxin concentrations remaining decades after large volumes of Agent Orange and other defoliants were handled at this site. The Da Nang Airport property (site) is located within Da Nang City and is used by both the Ministry of National Defense (MOD) and the Middle Airports Corporation (MAC) under the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam (CAAV). It has a total area of 820 hectares (ha), of which 150 ha are allocated to civil aviation, and the remaining 670 ha are under the jurisdiction of the MOD. The Government of Vietnam (GVN) has requested assistance from the United States Government to remediate dioxin-contaminated soil and sediment at the Da Nang Airport. In 2008, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) launched an environmental health and remediation program. In 2009, this included the initiation of a comprehensive Environment Assessment (EA), required by U.S. law for projects of this nature. Concluded in June 2010, the EA recommended treatment of contaminated soils and sediments at the site using an In-situ Thermal Desorption/In-pile Thermal Desorption (ISTD/IPTD), or thermal remediation, approach. In subsequent design work, this approach has been narrowed to IPTD treatment, to be done in two treatment phases of roughly half of the 73,000 cubic meters of soil and sediments in each phase. The remediation project can be separated into three primary components: · Digging and Hauling of Soils and Sediments · IPTD Pile Structure Construction · IPTD Treatment It is anticipated that the implementation of these components will be awarded to two separate contractors: a Dig and Haul Contractor, who is responsible for the first two components, and an IPTD Contractor, who is responsible for the third component. The completion of the first two components will require the construction of the IPTD treatment pile structure and the excavation, transport, and placement of dioxin-contaminated sediment/soil in the IPTD pile structure. A summary of the scope of work for the Dig & Haul contract follows: · The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment and incidentals required to perform the Work as shown on the Drawings and remediation planning documents. · The major components of the proposed work include the following: • Installing erosion and sediment control measures and establishing surface water runoff diversions around the main project work areas to minimize the amount of water coming in contact with the project area and to control sediment-laden runoff from leaving the construction areas. • In designated contaminated areas, clearing the site by removing the vegetation down to the ground surface. The remaining stumps and roots shall be removed as part of the excavation, mulched, and mixed in with the contaminated soils and sediments placed in the IPTD pile structure. • Installation and operation of equipment decontamination stations to prevent the spread of contamination from work areas. • Removal and disposal of all existing man-made items interfering with construction or indicated on the Drawings. These items may include, but are not limited to, the concrete protective coverings, roadway pavement, ditch and channel linings, fences, walls, culverts, miscellaneous structures, and other debris. • Construction of new site access road and IPTD pile laydown area, including fill placement, excavation, road surfacing, installation of culverts, and providing security fencing, as shown in the Drawings. • Construction of the IPTD pile structure including a concrete slab and insulation floor system, concrete block embankment, access ramp, and insulation and steel panels as shown on the Drawings. • Excavation, moisture conditioning, and transport of the contaminated sediment/soil and placement in IPTD pile structure for Phase I treatment as shown in the Drawings. • Complete site restoration activities for Phase I including backfilling of identified excavated areas with clean fill material from an off-site borrow source, seeding the site, and placing erosion control measures to promote site stabilization. • Following completion of the Phase I treatment cycle by the IPTD contractor, quenching and removing the treated material from the pile structure and stockpiling at an on-site designated location. • Excavation, moisture conditioning, and transport of the contaminated sediment/soil and placement in IPTD pile structure for Phase II treatment as shown in the Drawings. • Complete site restoration activities for Phase II including backfilling of identified excavated areas with clean fill material from an off-site borrow source, seeding the site, and placing erosion control measures to promote site stabilization. • Following completion of the Phase II treatment cycle by the IPTD contractor, quenching and removing the treated material from the pile structure and stockpiling at an on-site designated location. • Deconstruct the IPTD pile structure following the completion of treatment by the IPTD contractor. • Targeted capacity building activities for local Vietnamese sub-contractors working on the site - including possible GVN entities - on various aspects of the Dig & Haul work. Topics might include, but are not limited to: handling of hazardous materials; construction planning, logistics and management; worker health and safety best practices.
