- NA The U.S. Army Contracting Agency ? Dugway Proving Ground is soliciting for the privatization of utility systems (electric, water and wastewater) at U.S. Army, Dugway Proving Ground, Utah. Privatization is defined as the transfer of ownership and responsi bility for operation, maintenance, repair, future upgrades and future utility system replacements. The conveyance of the utility distribution systems is authorized and conducted under 10 USC 2688. It imposes certain economic tests that must be met prior to award of a contract(s). The resulting contract(s), if awarded, will require the Contractor(s) to furnish all necessary labor, management, supervision, permits, equipment, supplies, materials, transportation and any other incidental services for the comple te ownership, operation, maintenance, repair, upgrades and improvements to these utility systems. The Contractor(s) will be required to manage, control and perform its operations, maintenance, repairs, replacements and incidentals of its utility system(s) to provide firm, reliable and dependable utility service to each Government or tenant connection within the service area 24 hours each and every day. The utility systems will be conveyed by way of a Bill of Sale upon award of contract(s) and real property interests will be conveyed in the form of Easements. The Contractor(s) proposal and plans may become a part of the contract upon decision to award. The Government anticipates awarding a Fixed-Price with Prospective Price Redetermination Utility Services Co ntract(s) for a term of 50 years to the Best Value offeror(s). The ability to award individual systems to individual firms will exist. This requirement is unrestricted. The solicitation is DABJ19-03-R-0004. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION: Dugway Proving Ground currently purchases wholesale electric power at 46-kV from Utah Power & Light Company (UP&L) at a single primary delivery point near the English Village area. The DPG electric distribution system is curr ently Army owned and consists of: (1) Three 46-kV distribution substations, (2) Approximately 10 circuit-miles of 46-kV transmission line, (3) Approximately 73 circuit-miles of 12.5-kV overhead primary distribution line, and (4) Approximately 9 circuit-mil es of 12.5-kV underground primary distribution line. The distribution system is composed primarily of overhead, pole-line construction (wood pole, open wire) with pole-mounted transformer banks. There is a relatively small amount of underground primary. Cu rrent peak loads approximate 3.5 megawatts with a fairly consistent year-round and around the clock loading. The system appears to be in quite good condition and individual meters are currently located within most of the housing area. POTABLE WATER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION: The water treatment and distribution system comprises mains, service lateral lines, main valves, fire and yard hydrants, back flow preventors, and steel elevated and ground storage tanks. The distribution system is primari ly cast iron piping. The water system consists of three independent subsystems. The first system serves English Village; the second system serves Ditto Technical Center, Avery Technical Center, Baker Lab Area, and Michael Army Airfield; the third system is for the Carr Complex. Operation and maintenance has been provided for several years by a base O&M contract. Two separate non-potable water systems provide irrigation water for English Village area: one for the golf course south of Stark Road, the other fo r the main containment area north of Stark Road. WASTEWATER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION: The wastewater collection and treatment systems at DPG consist of four independent systems. The first serves English Village; the second serves Ditto, Avery, and Michael Army Airfield; the third serves Baker Lab; and the four th serves the Carr complex. In all areas, the collection systems are a combination of gravity and force mains with lift or pumping stations. Sizes of the collection mains range from 6 to 15 inches. Generally, all systems were installed between 1942 and the early 1950 s, though some upgrades have been completed. There are approximately 82,000 lineal feet of wastewater collection mains and 196 manholes within the English Vill age/Fries Park Complex. The most common pipe size is 8 inches, comprising nearly half of the collection system. DPG completed a new headworks and lagoon system in 1996 to service the English Village and Fries Park area. The headworks consists of a weir, a 3 HP comminutor rated at 1 MGD, flow-measurement sensor, manual bar screen, and a 6-inch Partial flume. Three lagoon cells, each with a rating a 5 mil lion gallons, have a minimum detention of 12.5 days. Maximum sludge deposition is one foot, and water dep th is six feet with a freeboard of three feet. Each cell is equipped with floating mechanical aerators. Cell 1 and 4 aerators (2 @ 20 HP and 2 @ 15 HP) . Cell 2 has 4 aerators @ 5 HP each. Cell 3 has 2 aerators @ 5 HP each. The chlorine scrubber, cathodic test port, and propane tank for the emergency generator are all located near the control building. The concrete chlorine contact basin is approximately 23-feet wide by 36-feet long and 10-feet deep. Final effluent from the chlorine contact basin is dischar ged into a drainage culvert running parallel to a main access dirt road. It then crosses the road and flows into an open, evaporative holding area. A backup treatment process is also available in the form of an ultra-violet (UV) treatment facility. This sy stem is built in parallel and enables treatment of the waste stream as it bypasses the chlorine contact basin. Ditto and Every Technical Centers/Michael Army Airfield. The Ditto wastewater collection and treatment system also serves the Avery Technical Cen ter area and Michael Army Airfield. In outlying areas, some buildings are serviced by a septic tank and drain field system (not included in the study). The maps show a new 8 vitrified clay main lane as well as four new manholes serving the Avery Facility . (Date of the upgrade was not discernable from available data.) The old system was abandoned in place. The collection system incorporates a series of primarily 6- and 8-inch gravity lines flowing into a 10-inch vitrified clay main, which, in turns, flows to the lagoons. The system has approximately 16, 500 feet of wastewater collection mains and 64 manholes. A sewage lift station pumps effluent from Avery and Michael Army Airfield into the Ditto collection system via a 4-inch force main. A final lift stati on at the end of the main collection line pumps influent into the lagoon system. A new headworks and lagoon system was completed in 1992 to serve the Ditto wastewater systems. The new lagoon system is comprised of three cells with a holding capacity of one million gallons per cell. Lagoons have five floating mechanical aerators (2 in cells 1 and 2, and one in Cell 3). Effluent flows to an open, evaporative holding area. Carr Complex. The Carr Complex, located approximately four miles southeast of Ditto, is an independent system. In the past, Carr was totally serviced by septic tank and drain field systems. In most instances, the septic tanks and drain fields were abandoned with new service lines into the collection system and new lagoon. Buildings that remai n on septic systems are not included in this privatization study. The system includes approximately 2,500 feet of 4- and 10- inch collection lines, 1 lift station, 10 manholes, and a sort length of 4-inch force main to the lagoon. A new, 2.28 million gallo n, single cell lagoon was constructed in 1990. It has no mechanical aeration. An emergency overflow channel drains into an open, evaporative area. Baker Complex. Wastewater from all building in Baker Complex is collected by gravity flow into 6-inch cast ir on mains. The system has 24 manholes. The lift station is fed y two 6-inch influent pipes. The prefabricated concrete manhole is approximately ten feet deep and has two staged, float-activated pumps; each rated at 1.0 HP and 80 GPM. The lift station is equipped with an overflow sensor and alarm. An 8-inch PVC for the main moves the influent to the lagoon. The 1.5 million gallon, single-cell lagoon is not aerated. All responsible sources may submit an offer which will be considered. To be eligible for award, a firm must be registered in the DOD Central Contractor Registration (CCR). You may register via the internet at http://www.ccr.gov. Large businesses are requir ed to submit a subcontracting plan which meets the requirements of FAR 52.219-9.
