Project Description: Dalecarlia Pumping Station Building Renovations, Washington Aqueduct Division, Washington, DC. This project will be Design-Bid-Build using NAICS Code: 236220 - Commercial and Institutional Building Construction The solicitation will be for a construction contract and it will be advertized as an invitation for bid (IFB) in the $1M - $5M range. The work includes architectural and structural improvements to the Dalecarlia Pumping Station Building to repair failing building components and to improve functionality. Specific work items include replacing deteriorated cast stone coping and ballasted EPDM roof membranes; repairing a large sliding door and interior glazed tile and masonry wall cracks throughout the building; repaint interior spaces; replace the sewer ejector system; lighting and other miscellaneous improvements and repairs to interior spaces. The project also involves an optional item to replace the ballasted EPDM roof membrane of the adjacent Chemical Building. The Washington Aqueduct provides portable water to approximately one million people in the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia. The Dalecarlia Pumping Station pumps water to four service areas, namely; Low Service, First High, Second High and Third High. The building has a control room, which includes a SCADA system that controls all major pumping units. This building is also the electrical distribution point for the entire Dalecarlia WTP. Major modification work needs to be performed while the pumping station remains fully operational. This is needed to ensure reliable operation and guarantee uninterrupted water supply to our customers. Therefore, an experienced contractor with resources and expertise to handle the following project constraints is needed: i.Working at an industrial facility around a portable water supply system. ii.Staging in areas with limited weight restrictions when replacing large cast stones. iii.Maintaining functional operation of a sewer ejector system during replacement. iv.Performing construction activities in a fully operational building while maintaining utilities and access to non construction employees. v.Roof replacement where there is limited access the roof structure. Interested qualified Small Business (SB), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned SB (SDVOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZones), or Qualified Section 8(a) certified firms should submit a concise narrative and specific project examples of similar size and scope that demonstrate their experience in: 1.The successful rigging, staging and replacement of large cast stone copings from areas with restricted weight limits. 2.The replacement of ballasted EPDM roof membranes. 3.The successful and seamless repair of failing brick walls and other structural repairs involving walls, concrete pedestals, glazed tiles and masonry walls. 4.The replacement of the building sewer ejector system. 5.The replacement and upgrade of existing light fixtures to include energy efficient lighting fixtures with motion sensors. Capability statements should include information and details of similar projects, to include demonstrated specialized experience and technical competence in: (a)Performing large cast coping stone replacement. The new coping stones must match the existing in color and texture. The contractor will be required to procure and install large sections of heavy cast stone coping for the different cross sections. (b)Seamless replacement of interior glazed tile. The interior walls of the pumping station consist of a 4 quote mark thick glazed tile veneer which has buckled and failed in some areas. The project requires matching glazed tile and mortar to be procured and installed at height. The resulting glaze tile replacement of these high profile areas must be indistinguishable from the existing areas. (c)Repair of failed exterior masonry brick walls areas that are failing. The project requires the contractor to procure matching brick and mortar and make repairs. The resulting repairs of these high profile exterior wall areas must be indistinguishable from the existing areas. (d)Phased replacement and conversion of the building sewer ejector system from pneumatic to electric operation. The building has to remain operational for employee use throughout the project. Therefore, one of the sewage ejector units need to remain operational at all times. (e)Rigging and scaffolding while maintaining access into the pumping station. Scaffolding will need to be erected in a way that ensures that the 14' x 18' south door opening remains accessible at all times. This opening is used to transport the large pumps or motors in and out of the building for maintenance and repairs. In addition please provide a letter from the surety regarding the potential Small Business General Contractor's maximum bonding capability for a single contract action between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00, and total aggregate bonding capacity. Narratives shall be no longer than ten pages. Email responses are required. Comments will be shared with the Government and the project design team, but otherwise will be held in strict confidence. Responses must include the offerors' name, POC phone number, SAM information and email address.
