- Description
- Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Engineering Field Activity, Northwest (EFANW), in conjunction with the Commander, Navy Region Northwest, plans to offer for privatization, the existing water distribution systems at the following six locations in the Pacific Northwest: Naval Air Station Whidbey Island (NASWI) Ault Field, NASWI Seaplane Base, NASWI Outlying Field Coupeville, NUWC Keyport, Camp Wesley Harris, and Jim Creek Naval Radio Station. Privatization is a process that (1) conveys a utility system or a part of a utility system under the jurisdiction of the Secretary concerned to a municipal, private, regional, district, or cooperative utility company or other entity and (2) obtains a utility service contract from the entity to whom the system is conveyed or their agents and assignees. As a result of this solicitation, a firm will be selected to assume ownership of the utility system. The successful firm will be required to purchase the existing system from the Government and may be required to provide expansions to the system to meet future needs of the Government. The successful firm may or may not be the supplier of the commodity procured by the Government. The resulting contract, if awarded, will require the Contractor to furnish all facilities, labor, materials, tools, and equipment necessary to own, maintain, and operate the utility system. The Contractor shall manage the upgrades, maintenance, repairs, and replacement of the system to ensure continuous, adequate, and dependable service connection within the service area in accordance with industry standards. The Contractor shall be responsible for funding all capital investments required to acquire, upgrade, maintain and operate the utility system in a safe, reliable condition and to meet the requirements listed in the contract. The utility system will be conveyed via a Bill of Sale upon award of the contract. The Contractor's proposals and plans may become a part of the contract upon the decision to award. Past Performance information from potential Offerors shall be submitted as directed in the RFP. No Offeror will be denied the opportunity to submit a proposal in response to the RFP. Proposal due dates will be identified in the solicitation. The utility systems being privatized are described as follows: 1. WHIDBEY (Ault Field and Seaplane Base). Ault Field is the point of delivery for potable water from the City of Oak Harbor. Ault Field then supplies water to Seaplane Base. There are three standby wells with a total capacity of 224 gallons per minute (2 located on Ault Field and 1 on Seaplane Base). There are two active wells (1@15gpm and 1@20gpm) on Seaplane Base. The total storage for Ault Field and Seaplane Base is 4.4 million gallons. Average water consumption for NAS Whidbey Island is 1 million gallons per day. Peak summer consumption is twice the winter consumption. The Sea Plane Base, primarily housing, is one half the total use. Distribution piping on Ault Field and the Sea Plane Base consists of 50 miles of cement asbestos, cast iron, ductile iron, steel, galvanized iron, and PVC from four inches to eighteen inches in diameter. Most common is cement asbestos installed from about the mid 1950s up to the mid 1970s. 2. WHIDBEY (Outlying Field). There are two active wells at OLF Coupeville. One well (15gpm) with a 1300 gallon storage tank is for the field firefighting and the caretaker?s house. The other well (10gpm) serves the Combat Trainer building. 3. NUWC KEYPORT. The water system at NUWC Keyport water system utilizes a 650gpm production well, 600K gallons of storage reservoirs, a booster pump station, distribution pipelines and two pressure zones. The water distribution piping system consists of approximately 45,000 lineal feet of 4-inch, 6-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch diameter ductile iron main pipelines. 4. CAMP WESLEY HARRIS. Potable water is produced and delivered to the station from one 10gpm primary well. There is one chlorinating station (hypo chlorinator is not in use) and a 500 gallon potable water day tank which supplies approximately 4,000 lineal feet of water lines. There is a 20K gallon non-potable fire reservoir with a booster pump and three fire hydrants. 5. JIM CREEK. At Jim Creek, water is obtained directly from a 150-foot drilled well at a rate of 175 gallons per minute. The water pumped from the well is processed through an ozone treatment unit, located in the pump house (Building 85). The water is then transferred through a sand filter, which reduces the levels of iron and manganese and pumped into a 250K gallon tank and gravity-fed to the users through approximately 16,000 lineal feet of pipe. In-house service and maintenance are provided, including the dumping and cleaning of tanks, checking pulleys and cables, floats, and filtering systems, ozonerator and its compressors. Water is tested monthly for impurities and certified by the State of Washington. The solicitation will be provided for download free of charge via the Internet at http://esol.navfac.navy.mil/. Amendments and notices will be posted on the web site http://esol.navfac.navy.mil/ for downloading. This will be the only method of distributing the solicitation. It is the Offeror's responsibility to check the web site periodically for any amendments and notices to this solicitation. The official plan holders list will be maintained on and can be printed from the web site. All prospective Offerors and plan centers are encouraged to register as plan holders on the web site. Plan holder lists will not be faxed and will only be available from the web site. The solicitation, plans and specifications will be available on or about 30 June 2003.
