Description

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY FOR FLOATING BREAKWATER REPLACEMENT, BAR POINT HARBOR, KETCHIKAN, ALASKA. OFFERS OR PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR THIS NOTICE. THIS IS NOT A PRE-SOLICITATION.



The Alaska District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting market research to facilitate a determination of acquisition strategy prior to releasing a solicitation for this anticipated project. The determination of acquisition strategy lies solely with the government and will be based on market research and information available to the government from other sources. Please note that this Sources Sought is for information only and does not constitute a solicitation for competitive offers/proposals and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. However, all interested parties who believe they can meet the requirement are invited to submit information describing their capability to provide the required services.



DESCRIPTION OF WORK:



The purpose of this project is to replace two floating breakwaters at Bar Point Harbor in Ketchikan, Alaska. Bar Point Harbor is currently protected by floating breakwaters held in place by anchor chains and anchor blocks. A small floating breakwater protects the middle entrance channel and is approximately 120 feet long and 23 feet wide. A larger floating breakwater protects the harbor and is 963 feet in length consisting of four concrete modules each 23 feet wide connected using post-tensioned wire cables. Both floating breakwaters have surpassed their estimated lifespan and need to be replaced. The project will include demolition of the existing breakwaters and replacement with new reinforced concrete float-type breakwaters. The breakwaters will be moored by chains and concrete anchor blocks.



The Contractor is to furnish all labor, equipment, supplies, materials, supervision, and other items and services necessary to accomplish the work. The Contractor shall comply with commercial and industry standards as well as all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and procedures. The total estimated magnitude of construction for base and option items is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. The type of contract shall be firm-fixed price. Construction wage rates (formerly Davis Bacon Act wage rates) shall apply. The estimated award date of this contract is April 2025. This procurement is subject to the availability of funds.



If the project is cancelled, all proposal/bid preparation costs will be borne by the offeror. If a large firm is selected for this contract, the firm must comply with FAR 52.219-9 regarding the requirements for a subcontracting plan for that part of the work it intends to subcontract.



All offerors are advised that they must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) (www.sam.gov) before submitting a proposal. Joint ventures must also be registered in SAM as a joint venture. Offerors are advised to begin this process when they prepare their proposal in order to ensure registration is in place should they be selected for award. Lack of registration in the SAM database would make an offeror ineligible for award.



The intent of this Sources Sought is to solicit interest from qualified firms with a primary North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code of 237990 – Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, which has a small business size standard of $45 million. In accordance with FAR 19.501 paragraph (c) The contracting officer shall conduct market research and review the acquisition to determine if this acquisition will be set aside for small business or considered for an award to a small business under the 8(a) Program (see FAR subpart 19.8), HUBZone (see FAR subpart 19.13), service-disabled veteran-owned (see FAR subpart 19.14), or women-owned small business program (see FAR subpart 19.15). If the acquisition is set aside for small business based on this review, it is a unilateral set-aside by the contracting officer.



The requirement for the submission of both performance and payment bonds in an amount equivalent to 100% of the award price shall be applicable. Therefore, the successful firm shall have the capability to acquire such bonding.



THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT OPEN TO ALL QUALIFIED PRIME CONTRACTOR FIRMS (Large and Small Businesses under NAICS 237990). All interested firms are encouraged to respond to this announcement no later than 15 October 2024, by 2:00 PM Alaska Daylight Savings Time, by submitting all requested documentation listed below to: US Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District, ATTN: CEPOA-CT (Gosh), PO Box 6898, JBER, AK 99506-0898 or via email to Jennifer.Gosh@usace.army.mil and George.G.Nasif@usace.army.mil.
