This announcement constitutes only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is N69450-16-Q-5638. It is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-89. This is 100% small business set aside. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this acquisition is 561730. The size standard is $7.5M. It is the contractors responsibility to be familiar with the applicable clauses and provisions. The clauses and provisions may be accessed in full text at http://acquisition.gov/far and www.acq.osd.mil. This solicitation is to support Naval Station Mayport Florida in providing required security observation ability at both Gates 5 and 5A by removing trees, growth, grass, and weeds as outlined in Attachment one (1). 2.SCOPE: This project will consist of creating a clear zone at Naval Station Mayport Gates 5 and 5A which will permit unobstructed security observation of the areas around the gates. Specifically the flowing applies: A.Gate 5 Requirements: In area A, as shown on attachment (1), clear all trees, growth, grass, and weeds. Leave nothing but grass at a height of 2-3 inches after all trees, growth, grass (high grass), and weeds have been removed. B.Gate 5A Requirements: 1. In areas B and C, as shown on attachment (1), clear all growth, grass, weeds and all trees that are smaller than eight (8) inch in diameter to a ground height of approximately two to three inches. All trees eight (8) inch diameter and larger will be trimmed so that the lowest branch of the tree is a minimum of twenty (20) feet in height. The Palm Trees over 8 that remain must be skinned (i.e. removing the remnants of the palm fronds) so that the trunks are smooth from the ground to the point of live branches. Trees being trimmed will be done so to commercial standards and in a uniform fashion not to produce future leaning or falling conditions. The Government will request the contractor to seek the advice of a certified tree arbor in situations that raise concern for the future health of the tree being trimmed. 2. In area B, as shown on attachment (1), remove all trees and vegetation within 5 ™ of the fence line. The eight (8) inch tree diameter requirement does not apply to this area and all trees will be removed. All trees and growth that have grown into or intertwined with the perimeter fence will be removed. All trees that are removed will have the stumps ground or removed to a ground condition that supports being mowed. All removed trees grass, weeds, or debris will be removed and disposed of by the contractor. 3. Reseed all areas that will be cleared as required to support a uniformed appearance that supports being mowed. Attachment one (1) provides a map of the fence line and areas being cleared and is as accurate as possible but is not to be used as the basis of the contractors estimate or rationale for future contract increases or time extension. This project requires attendance at a site survey being held on August 17, 2016 starting at 1 p.m. at Naval Station Mayport at which time interested parties will be escorted to the areas at gates 5 and 5A to survey the magnitude of this project (the companion project N69450-16-Q-5637, Clear Hanna Park Fence Line, site visit will be the same day starting at 9 a.m.). Bids submitted by contractors who did not attend, or were not represented, at the site visit will not be considered for award of this project.
