Project Description: East Shaft Pumping Station Rehabilitation, Washington Aqueduct Division, Washington, DC. The solicitation will be for a construction contract and it will be advertized as an invitation for bid (IFB) in the $5M - $10M range. The work includes civil, structural, mechanical and electrical improvements to the East Shaft Pumping Station to increase its reliability and improve its function. Specific work items include removal of the existing East Shaft pump and installing a replacement submersible pump. Construction of structural floor & wall modifications, replacement of existing electrical transformers & switchgear, SCADA modifications and replacement of traveling screens. The Washington Aqueduct (WA) provides portable water to approximately one million people in the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia. The East Shaft Pumping Station is the point of entry for water to the McMillan Water Treatment Plant (WTP) which handles and treats about 40% of the Washington Aqueduct's entire production. The project will provide a comprehensive rehabilitation to the East Shaft Pumping Station. The McMillan WTP is a critical component of the distribution system and so careful consideration has to be given to the phasing of work and critical outages have to be scheduled and met during the low production season. Therefore, an experienced contractor with resources and expertise to handle the following project constraints is needed: i. The project needs to minimize the number of outages and strictly adhere to McMillan WTP outage criteria so that service interruptions are minimized. ii. Installation of a large submersible pump in an existing building with low headroom. iii. Concrete work, below grade with limited access in a confined space. iv. Replacement of travelling screens using multiple short duration outages. v. Deep trench construction related to an optional bid item to construct a new 24 inch drain line structure is in area of limited equipment access which must account for existing underground utilities nearby. 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. Installation of large submersible pumps including associated electrical gear. 2. Performing concrete structural reinforcing and repairs to include formwork installation and rebar placement. 3. Concrete work, below grade with limited access in a confined space. 4. Deep trench construction in areas of limited equipment access with underground utilities nearby. 5. Replacement of traveling screens. 6. Successful installation of large sluice gates, flap gates, valves, their mechanical actuators and large pipe modifications. Capability statements should include information and details of similar projects, to include demonstrated specialized experience and technical competence in: (a) Installation of large industrial equipment to include associated switch gear and controls. (b) Performing concrete structural reinforcing and repairs to include formwork installation and rebar placement. (c) Digital SCADA control system installation and modification. (d) Successful installation of large sluice gates, flap gates, valves, their mechanical actuators and large pipe modifications. (e) Excavation work in excess of 20 feet and tunneling. (f) Performing work in confined spaces with trained and certified personnel in a timely manner. 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 and total aggregate bonding capacity. Narratives shall be no longer than ten pages. Email responses are preferred. 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. Contracting Office Address: USACE District, Baltimore, 10 South Howard Street, Baltimore, MD 21203
