This is a pre-solicitation notice for the pending requirement which will consist of the removal and replacement of select portions of concrete sidewalk, installation of a trench drain, excavation, installation, and backfill of the drain line at Fort Smith National Cemetery, AK. Proposals will not be accepted at this time. This requirement is 100% set-aside for Small Business concerns. The General Magnitude of this project is less than $25,000.00. The respective period of performance is 90 calendar days. The Government will identify qualification and experience requirements upon subsequent issuance and release of the Request for Quote. Please provide a DUNS number so the Government can verify business size in SAMS registration for purposes of adding a firm to the marketing/bidders mailing list. Phone calls or e-mail requests for additional information will not be accepted at this time. The initial Statement of Work is as follows: The Contractor: Shall furnish all labor, material, supplies, equipment, tools, transportation, and supervision to remove and replace portions of concrete sidewalk, install trench drain, excavate, install, and backfill a drain line at Fort Smith National Cemetery. Perform the following work as required by drawings and specifications, and as described herein. The Work: The Work shall include, but shall not be limited to the following (not necessarily in the order indicated): Contractor shall demolish and remove the areas of the concrete walkways at adjacent to the public restroom alcove as identified on the contract drawings. Concrete shall be removed to the nearest expansion/control joints as designated on the contract drawings. Saw cut all existing control joints as necessary to remove the concrete. Contractor has the option to break out concrete around existing expansion joints to preserve the existing dowel installation. Remove the existing gravel base and other materials under the removed concrete down to undisturbed native soil (subgrade). The trench drain requires additional excavation; reference contract drawings for trench drain details. Clean and prepare the excavation area, and compact the subgrade to 95% prior to the installation of the new base and drain building pipe. Core drill a hole in the concrete knee wall at the location of the new trench drain 6-inch inlet. Core drill hole in the curb at the future location of the drain outlet (approximately 63.5 feet from the trench drain inlet). Install new 4-inch drain pipe with elbows and fittings from the building drain as shown on the drawing. Install solid, smooth wall Schedule 40 PVC pipe from the building to the new trench drain knock-out. Slope drain pipe to drain to trench drain; connect pipe to side knock-out of trench drain. Install drain pipe prior to aggregate base. Install a short angled diverter to the other building drain to direct water to the new trench drain. The Contractor shall be responsible for locating the utilities. Locations shown on the drawings are only approximations. Hand dig in areas with expected utilities as show on the concrete drawings. The Contractor shall be responsible for adjusting the location of existing utilities; however it is anticipated that the new drain pipe will be above at least the sanitary sewer and electrical lines. Adjustments are anticipated for the two irrigation line crossings. Excavate from the trench drain inlet to the new curb outlet, sod cutting the existing turfgrass, removing excess soil, and salvaging the turfgrass for later re-installation. Cut the edge lines of the trench with a sharp edging tool and use a flat shovel to get under the turf; remove it in manageable sections (approx. 24 inches long). Keep the removed turf moist during construction. Grade the trench to provide a constant slope from the trench drain inlet to the curb outlet. Install new solid, smooth wall, Schedule 40 PVC pipe from the trench drain inlet to the curb outlet. Sleeve the pipe through the knee wall and connect to the 6-inch end cap connector. Sleeve the other end through the curb, cut the pipe flush with the curb and seal around the edge with epoxy. Backfill the trench with excavated material in 4-inch lifts, compacting each lift. Once compacted backfill reaches original grade when the turf was cut, re-install the salvaged turfgrass sod, adding extra topsoil and seed to the trench edges. Coordinate the type of seed with the COR. If new turfgrass is needed, coordinate the type with the COR, as well. Backfill the walkway excavation with 4 inches of crushed aggregate base material compacted to 95% per ASTM 1557 prior to installing the new reinforced concrete walkway and new trench drain system in accordance with the contract drawings and specifications. Install crushed aggregate base material for the concrete under the trench drain in the same manner as the sidewalk. Install the concrete reinforcement and new trench drain system in full accordance with the manufacturer s requirements and recommendations. The trench drain is to be installed with a 0.5% slope away from the building. The top elevation of the trench drain shall be flush with the new sidewalk. Install a blank end plate on the end adjacent to the building. Install a 6-inch outlet connector on the end adjacent to the knee wall. The grate of the trench drain shall be stainless steel, ADA compliant, safe for high heels, and slip resistant. Install the new concrete walkway in accordance with the contract drawings and specifications. The new walkway shall slope away from the building and towards the trench drain. The slope in the alcove shall be field adjusted to allow proper drainage out of the alcove while working around the existing elevations of the two entrance doors on either side. The door swing of the maintenance shop swings into the alcove and shall not be impeded by the new walkway. There shall not be any lip created at any door; the transition shall be smooth at the doors. Place 3500 psi, reinforced concrete (4 minimum thickness) with expansion joints, control joints, and a finished surface that matches the existing patterns and textures of the existing concrete slab and walkways in accordance with the contract specifications and drawings. After new concrete has cured a minimum of 7 days, apply joint sealer on all new expansion joints and control joints. Joint sealant color shall match concrete color. General Conditions: Remove, cut, alter, replace, patch and repair existing work as necessary to install new work. Existing work to be altered or extended and that is found to be defective in any way, shall be reported to the COR before it is disturbed.
