- Description
- This is a acquisition planning purposes. No formal solicitation for this work exists at this time. All qualified concerns may submit capability statements for consideration. Capability statements received will be reviewed to determine the technical, administrative, and management capability of such offerors to perform this type of work. The capability statements will be used to determine appropriate procurement strategy, in particular whether a set-aside or an alternate procurement strategy is warranted. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this notice or otherwise pay for information solicited. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has a requirement for repairing the Brock Inlet Canal Station 4 + 1.42 and proceeding in a westerly direction and ending at the reservoir inlet structure at the Brock Inlet Canal Station 354 + 75.51 located in Imperial County, CA roughly mile West of Gordon's Well Interstate 8 (I-8) (Exit 151) interchange to just West of the Brock Research Center I-8 (Exit 146) interchange. Reclamation has completed a project that constructed an 8,000 acre-foot storage reservoir near Drop 2 on the All-American Canal in Imperial County in Southern California. The recently completed reservoir will store Colorado River water that has been released from Parker Dam to meet downstream water orders but cannot be delivered for various reasons, such as changed weather conditions or other factors. This water has typically not been put to beneficial use within the United States due to lack of sufficient storage capacity below Parker Dam. During an inspection conducted on the above referenced facility, it was noted that there appeared to be thermal expansion in the inlet canal concrete lining due to due to the very large temperature variations that are typical for the southwest desert. It was originally noted that the expansion joint sealant and in certain instances the sponge rubber joint sealant were being pushed out of the joints. A second inspection of the inlet canal was conducted in conjunction with an outage in the system for maintenance work on the reservoir and associated structures. During the second inspection, the engineers identified and inspected 76 existing expansion joints. The existing expansion joints were spaced at varying intervals from 100 to 500 plus feet and contraction joints with water stop spaced at 14' between the individual expansion joints. It was noted during the inspection that thermal movement to a varying degree has occurred in all of the existing expansion joints. In some cases, the joints have completely closed up. The original expansion joints were 1" wide filled with sponge rubber backer and non-sag joint sealant. It has been conservatively estimated that the existing joints have moved anywhere from 5/8" to 1", in some cases totally closing the joints and extruding out the sealant and in some instances the sponge rubber expansion joint filler material. In a number of locations, the existing concrete panel is actually riding up over the adjacent panel. The principal components of work to be performed include the following: 1. Install a temporary seepage control dike in the inlet channel to control water seepage through the gates. Monitor and control nuisance water during construction. 2. Saw cut 68 new, 1" wide expansion joints in the Brock Reservoir concrete lined inlet canal (canal is 16.5 feet deep, 18.5 feet bottom width and 2:1 side slopes). 3. Re-establish 76 of the designated existing expansion joints back to being 1" wide by saw cutting. 4. Furnishing and installing 1" wide sponge rubber expansion joint material. 5. Preparing the joint surface and furnishing and installing a non-sag elastomeric joint sealant.. 6. Additional work may require the saw cutting and removal of designated portions of the lining to re-establish the existing expansion joint, the fine grading and compacting of earth materials, and the placing of concrete for patching the removed concrete. The proposed contract will be a firm-fixed price Construction contract with an estimated performance period of 90 calendar days. The estimated total contract value is between $500,000.00 - $1,000,000.00. This acquisition, when announced, will be conducted under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 237990, Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction with a corresponding small business size standard of $33.5M. Capability statements are to be submitted no later than December 21, 2012. The capabilities package submitted by a vendor should demonstrate the firm's ability, capability, and responsibility to perform the principal components of work listed above. Packages should include the following information: (1) Business name, address, business size and type, (8(a), HUBZone, Service Disabled Veteran, Small Business, Large Business, etc.), and point of contact to include e-mail address and telephone number; (2) Demonstration of the firm's experience shown by providing a list of actual jobs completed within the past five years in which your firm completed work in saw cutting and installing and sealing expansion joints. Additionally, for each job listed provide the following: a brief description of the work performed, project title, dollar value of the job, the company name, location, and the customer's contact name and phone number for the work completed. Capability statements shall not exceed five pages in length. All responses to this sources sought notice shall be provided to Jacqueline Carrera, YAO-3100, 7301 Calle Agua Salada, Yuma, AZ 85364; or via e-mail to jcarrera@usbr.gov. When it is determined that a formal solicitation will be issued, a pre-solicitation notice will be posted on Federal Business Opportunities web site at http://www.fedbizopps.
