- Description
- The National Park Service, Department of Interior, intends to issue a solicitation on or about March 28, 2014 for performance of the work described below. Electronic documents will be made available free of charge with the solicitation on www.fbo.gov. Paper copies of the solicitation will not be made available. This procurement is being conducted under full and open competitive procedures and one or more of the items under this acquisition is subject to the World Trade Organization, Government Procurement Agreement, and Free Trade Agreements. The proposed NAICS code for this acquisition is 237110 Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction with a size standard of $20-25 Million. This intended construction contract is the second contract and final for a multi-phase effort to rehabilitate the turf and soil of the National Mall. The first contract for the first phase was completed in December 2012. The current requirement is for the second and third phases and is anticipated to be incrementally funded with appropriations from Fiscal Year 2014 (for phase 2), Fiscal Year 2015 (for phase 3a) and Fiscal Year 2016 (for phase 3b) in accordance with Appropriation Act / Continuing Resolution for Fiscal Year 2014 to complete both phases. Due to the anticipated timing receipt of funds for Phase 3 work in FY15 and FY16, the work of this phase has been subdivided and noted in the construction documents as either Phase 3a or Phase 3b. The project consists of soil re-engineering; replacement of irrigation systems; installation of drainage systems, including granite curb, inlets, and underground water collection systems and storage structures; and re-establishment of turf. The project is located within the National Mall, West Potomac Park, in downtown Washington, D.C. The project focuses on reconstructing the lawn panels, which are sandwiched between the elm tree panels aligning Madison and Jefferson Drives and between the streets of 7th and 14th. The work will be performed on and immediately adjacent to historically significant features which directly contribute to the historic significance of the National Mall. Project work will include improvements to existing lawn panels; heavy civil work with deep utilities, soil rehabilitation, granite curb and inlet installation with tight tolerances, and very fine grading; pre-cast concrete cisterns and irrigation and drainage systems; and sodding, growth and maintenance of the turf until it is accepted by the Government. All construction work must be performed in a manner that provides the greatest benefit to this highly significant, visible, prominent civic space with adjacent museums and visitor attractions. All work must be performed in strict adherence to all regulatory, National Park Service, and United States Park Police requirements including, but not limited to, regulatory stormwater, sedimentation, and erosion control measures and scheduled and unscheduled work stoppages due to National Park Service events or other governmental operations. Work will need to be laid out with staging areas, with fencing, and delivery and haul routes established in accordance with the contract documents so as to minimize impacts to resources and public use of the adjacent park grounds. Submittal of contractor produced plans describing means, methods, and schedules of all major work operations will be required for Government review and approval in order to ensure that all such operations will be carried out in accordance with the contract documents and in a manner commensurate with the constrained, highly visible, and nationally significant nature of the work site. Continuous communication and coordination with the National Park Service and its designated representatives will be required. TYPE OF ACQUISITION: A negotiated firm-fixed price contract is anticipated to be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and a price proposal. The government will consider an offeror's technical capability, past performance, subcontracting plan and price to determine the best value (trade-off process) to the government. The government reserves the right to award without discussions. CONSTRUCTION MAGNATUDE for this project is estimated to be between $20,000,000 - $25,000,000 for phases 2 and 3 combined. Time for completion will be 850 calendar days. It is anticipated that the notice to proceed will be issued in August of 2014, with an expected completion date for Phase 2 of December 2015 and an expected completion of Phase 3 of December 2016. Proposal receipt date is anticipated to be 30 days after the issuance of the solicitation. Offers will be considered from all responsible and responsive businesses. A preproposal conference and site visit is tentatively scheduled to be held the week of April 7th. Interested parties are urged to attend this meeting to ascertain existing work conditions.
