Description

Sources are sought that can provide or equal products for three brand name items as described below. The New York District intends to solicit and award a construction project for the United States Military Academy (USMA), West Point, NY entitled t he Architectural/Structural Restoration to Michie Stadium. The project itself will be solicited competitively under a future solicitation. However, the project may potentially include three brand name components. This notification serves three purposes : 1) To notify potential offerors of the Governments intent to specify three brand name components under a future construction project; (2) To identify potential sources that can provide any or all of the brand name items; and (3) Notification of the Gov ernments intent to brand name specify resultant products or systems. A subsequent market survey will not be published in support of a Justification and Approval (J&A) for sole sourcing the resultant product(s) or system(s) in the event an or equal prod uct is not submitted for consideration. In such instances the brand name or equal component will be embedded in the construction project that will be issued competitively. Only that part of the project requiring brand name components will be sole sourc e if no sources are able to provide an or equal product. Suppliers will be providing the brand name component to the contractor under the future solicitation for the construction of the project, not directly to the Government. In the event no or equal s exist, the brand name justifications will be issued pursuant to FAR 6.3, Only One Responsible Source. Description of Work: The products included in this market survey are associated with the cleaning and rehabilitation of concrete surfaces at Michie Stadium in West Point NY. The areas of work associated with the commercial blasting products include the North, West and South seating decks of the original 1920s era stadium. All topside surfaces of these seating decks are to be blasted clean of all coatings, parges and previous patches. The work includes both horizontal and vertical (risers) surfaces. Additionally, the cast in place concrete field wall and parapet walls that surround and enclose the seating decks are included as are the cement plaster surfaces of the North and So uth towers and the East facades of the North and South Stands. The commercial blasting product is/may also be used as an alternate method of removing paint from the steel railings. A small portion of the railings have been identified as containing lead based paint. There is approximately 840 LF or railing being cleane d and repainted, of which approximately 150 LF of it contains lead. Primary concerns related to the blasting products are: Careful control of the amount of material removed in order to assure that no damage is done to the structural concrete or original cement plaster substrates. Minimize the amount of residue produced and the clean-up thereof. Dust control Access to the playing field is for equipment or vehicles is very limited. Products must make use of portable compressors or compressors with sufficient power to allow for long hose lengths. Silica blasting is to be avoided due to concerns over dust and applicator protection If used to remove lead based paint from steel railings both products can be used to contain the lead. The sponge media encapsulates the paint naturally. The Turbo product can be used for lead containment with the addition of an admixture. The corrosion inhibiting impregnation coating is to be applied to the same reinforced concrete surfaces of the North, West and South seating decks of the original 1920s era stadium. All topside surfaces of these seating decks are to be coated on both hor izontal and vertical (risers) surfaces. Additionally, the cast in place concrete field wall and parapet walls that surround and enclose the seating decks are included. Summary of Requirement: A corrosion inhibiting impregnation coating for hardened concrete surfaces is required to penetrate the surface and diffuse in vapor or liquid form to the steel reinforcing bars embedded in the concrete. The impregnation coating is to form a protective l ayer on the steel surface which inhibits corrosion caused by the presence of chlorides as well as by carbonation of concrete. The impregnation coating is to penetrate up to 3 inches in 28 days. The impregnation coating is to form a protective layer of hi gh integrity up to 100 A in thickness on the reinforcing steel. Sika FerroGard? 903 or equal. A commercial and industrial blasting technology is required to remove all the layers of coatings from the concrete structure of Michie Stadium. The layers of coatings to be removed include a variety of cementious parges in depths ranging from skim coating s to approximately 3/16 thick each. A nylon reinforcing mesh is present in some locations. The total depth of the coating systems is approximately 3/8 of an inch. The parged coatings have also been painted numerous times. The paints and coatings on the con crete typically do not contain lead. The blasting technology will also be used for the preparation (removing paint) of the existing metal pipe rails prior to repainting. Some of these rails are painted with lead based paint and the required blasting techn ology should have the capacity for entrapping contaminants making it effective for use on lead painted surfaces. Sponge BlastingTM System or the Turbo Wet Abrasive Blasting System or equal. Any supplier wishing to provide an or equal for the Sika FerroGard? 903, the Sponge BlastingTM System, or the Turbo Wet Abrasive Blasting System must provide supporting data to the Contracting Officer no later than 01 April 2005 to Anne Spiegelberg, U.S. army Corps of Engineers, New York District, Contracting Division, 26 Federal Plaza, Room 1843, New York, NY, 10278-0090. This is a market survey and sources sought only. This is a notification of the Governments intent to incorporate brand name or equa l components for the project. The Government does not intend to solicit these components as stand-alone, independent contract actions. This is not a request to respond to a solicitation. This project will be solicited at a future date.
