- Description
- DUE TO THE LAPSE IN FUNDING FOR THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, THE SITE VISIT HAS BEEN DELAYED INDEFINITELY. CONTACT FRANK_LEE@FWS.GOV WITH QUESTIONS. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Contracting and General Services (CGS) Region 1 has been tasked to solicit for and procure a firm-fixed-price for the construction of new bridges within the Wapato Lake National Wildlife Refuge. The base bid item (Pump House Bridge Replacement) is located in Washington County. The optional bid item (Gaston Pedestrian Bridge Replacement) is located in Yamhill County. Project is a small business set-aside. Applicable NAICS code is 237310. Small business size is defined as $36.5 million or less annually when averaged over a three year period. The period of performance for the project is estimated to be around twenty-two (22) months with an end date of October 1, 2020. Project magnitude is between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00. Site Visit: For firms interested in attending a site visit, the following tentative dates have been established. Parties can meet on either Wednesday, January 9, 2019 at 10 AM local time or on Wednesday, January 30, 2019 at 10 AM local time at the Gaston City Hall, 116 Front Street, Gaston, OR 97119. If planning on attending one of these site visits, please contact Karl Lautzenheiser at karl_lautzenheiser@fws.gov at least a couple days prior to the site visit. There may be a possibility of a site visit on February 6, 2019 at 10 AM local time. An amendment will be issued if any of these tentative dates/times are changed. Date for submission of Questions: Contractors should submit any questions on this project directly to Karl Lautzenheiser at karl_lautzenheiser@fws.gov by no later than close of business on Friday, February 8, 2019. Questions will be consolidated and answers provided by issuance of an amendment directly thereafter. The following is an overview of the required tasks. Base Bid Item - Pump House Bridge: The proposed project involves the construction of a new bridge located east of Gaston in rural unincorporated Washington County, Oregon. The proposed project will be located within the Wapato Lake National Wildlife Refuge, which is owned and managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and will include the removal of the existing wooden pump house bridge and the construction of the new Pump House Bridge (steel girder bridge) approximately 145 feet to the west of the existing bridge. The new bridge will consist of a 20-foot-wide, 91-foot long steel bridge with curb-mounted guardrails on either side supported by pile supported concrete abutments and gabion retaining walls. The project will also include construction of a gravel access road connecting the new bridge north to SW Gaston Road and a gravel levee access road connecting the new bridge easterly toward the existing pump house. Access roads will include riprap slope protection and the installation of an access control gate north of the new bridge. Construction work needed to facilitate the project includes excavation, fill placement, and grading in both upland areas and wetland/waterway areas located on the project site. Optional Bid Item - Gaston Pedestrian Bridge: The proposed project involves the construction of a new bridge located in south of Gaston (adjacent to the Gaston Feed Store), in rural unincorporated Washington and Yamhill Counties, Oregon. The proposed project will be located within the Wapato Lake National Wildlife Refuge, which is owned and managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and will include the removal of the existing wooden bridge and the construction of the new Gaston Pedestrian Bridge in the same location as the existing bridge. The existing bridge once provided pedestrians and vehicles access to the Refuge but currently it no longer provides a safe crossing. The new bridge will consist of an 8-foot-wide, 85-foot-long aluminum truss pedestrian bridge supported by pile supported concrete abutments and gabion retaining walls. The project will also include construction of a gravel access road connecting the existing dirt access road to the new bridge, and the existing levee will receive a new gravel access to account for the difference in elevations between the new bridge and the existing levee. Construction work needed to facilitate the project includes excavation, fill placement, and grading in both upland areas and wetland/waterway areas located on the project site. Basis for award will be "Lowest-Priced, Technically-Acceptable (LPTA)" Source Selection Process. LPTA shall be utilized in accordance with (IAW) FAR Part 15.101-2. The lowest priced proposal will be based upon the combined total cost for all bid items. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of an offer meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. There will be two (2) non-cost evaluation factors: Recent Relevant Experience and Recent Relevant Past Performance. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than `Acceptable' must be achieved for Recent Relevant Experience and Recent Relevant Past Performance. The Government will first conduct a price analysis to determine fairness, reasonableness and if unbalanced pricing exists. Offerors proposals will then be ranked from the lowest to the highest-priced. The Government will then evaluate the technical proposal of the apparent, lowest-priced offeror. If the apparent, lowest-priced offeror's technical proposal is "Unacceptable" the Government will then evaluate the technical proposal of the apparent, second lowest-priced offeror. This process will continue until a lowest-priced offeror's technical proposal is "Acceptable." Once the Government identifies the lowest-priced, technically-acceptable offeror, an award will be made and no other proposals will be evaluated from offerors who proposed higher pricing. In determining whether a proposal as technically acceptable, the offeror must submit the following information with their proposal submission for evaluation: 1. Recent Relevant Experience: Offerors shall be evaluated to determine whether they have performed similar contracts, in terms of scope and price, to the work required within the solicitation. Offerors shall provide the minimum requested project information on at least one (1) recent, relevant project for a steel girder bridge (ten page limit) and at least three (3) recent relevant projects for driven pile support bridge (ten page limit). For a project to be considered, the offeror shall have been the Prime Contractor on it. Projects do not have to have been with a Federal Agency to be considered. A project is considered `recent' if it has been completed within the past four (4) years or is currently ongoing (but at least 25% complete). A project is considered `relevant' if it is similar in terms of scope and price to the work required within the solicitation. To be considered similar in scope, one project shall demonstrate work experience in steel girder bridge construction and one project shall demonstrate work experience in driven pile supported bridge construction and each of those projects shall have a contract value of at least $750,000.00 or more. Please note that FACTOR 1 (Recent Relevant Experience) differs from FACTOR 2 (Recent Relevant Past Performance). FACTOR 1 determines whether or not an offeror has performed similar work whereas FACTOR 2 evaluates how well the offeror performed. 2. Recent Relevant Past Performance: Offeror's past performance shall be reviewed to determine relevancy and confidence assessment. Offerors shall provide at least one (1) recent, relevant project for a steel girder bridge (ten page limit) and at least three (3) recent relevant project for driven pile supported bridge (ten page limit). Projects shall include current points of contact and phone numbers. The contractor is solely responsible for the accuracy of this information as the Government will not pursue incorrect contact data. For a project to be considered, the offeror shall have been the prime contractor on it. In addition to scope, each project shall have a current or final contract value greater than $750,000.00 and have been completed within the past five past five (5) years or be currently ongoing (but at least 25% complete). Furthermore, for each project to be considered, the offeror shall have been the Prime Contractor on it. Projects do not have to have been with a Federal Agency to be considered. Offerors may submit the same projects as those proposed for FACTOR 1 (Recent Relevant Experience). In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE / Unique Entity Identifiers (i.e. DUNS) of team members (i.e. partnerships, joint ventures, teaming arrangements or parent companies / subsidiaries / affiliates) identified in the offeror's proposals, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) and any other known sources not provided by the offeror. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the offeror. 3. Price: The total value of all tasks combined will be assessed to determine the overall Price Fair and Reasonable. If any of the tasks appear to be unbalanced, a review of the breakdown of each task will be conducted. Offeror's prices for each item within the bid schedule shall represent the best price in response to the solicitation. Prices will be evaluated using price analysis IAW FAR 15.404-1(a)(2) and 15.404-1(b). Prices shall be evaluated to determine fairness, reasonableness and if unbalanced pricing exists. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly over or understated. If price analysis techniques indicate that a proposal is unbalanced, the contracting officer shall consider the risks to the Government associated with the unbalanced pricing. An offer may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government (no page limit). Solicitation Number 140F0119R0002 with attachments is being posted on or about December 3, 2018 with proposals due by 2 PM PT on February 22, 2019.
