Please contact Brenda Goodwin 304/285-5882 or bcg1@cdc.gov to register and receive directions. PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN SUBPART 12.6, AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This solicitation is being issued as a small business set-aside under Request for Quotation No. 2006-Q-08926. The NAICS is 213111 with a size standard of 500 employees.. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-11. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is conducting ongoing field and laboratory investigations that are focused on remote application of extinguishing agents, deployment strategies for firefighting equipment, and permanent and temporary fire containment sealing technology. The goals of this research are to evaluate new and existing technologies and to limit miner exposure by developing or improving suppression strategies to help ensure the best possible outcome during a mine fire. The bulk of the work is being conducted at the NIOSH Lake Lynn Laboratory (LLL) located off Pennsylvania State Route 857, southwest of Fairchance, Fayette County, PA (about 60 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and 10 miles northeast of Morgantown, WV). LLL is a highly sophisticated underground and surface laboratory located where large-scale explosion trials, mine fire research and a myriad of other mine safety and health research programs are conducted. The underground workings, known as the Lake Lynn Experimental Mine (LLEM), are sized to match those of commercial mines, thus making them true, full-scale test galleries. The proposed work will be completed over a 3 (three) month time period at the LLEM. This work involves the drilling and completion from 2 (two) to 4 (four) boreholes to the underground mine workings below. NIOSH will survey the surface and underground locations. It is estimated that the depth to the mine void for each borehole will be no more than 350 ft. The exact number of boreholes to be drilled, actual depths and all surface and underground survey data will be provided to the Contractor before the commencement of drilling operations. The Contractor shall drill a sufficiently sized borehole and set surface conductor casing and cement to the surface as needed. The Contractor will then drill a 10?? to 10?? in diameter borehole to within 1 ft of the mine void. The mine void penetration point is of critical importance and it is therefore essential that the borehole penetrate the mine void to within 3 ft of the surveyed horizontal mine level location. The Contractor is required to utilize downhole directional drilling techniques and the appropriate downhole surveying technology to guide the borehole to the desired underground location. If the borehole wanders excessively (beyond the variance outlined above) and penetrates the mine void at the wrong location, NIOSH may require the borehole to be re-drilled at no additional cost. The Contractor will set 8?? in diameter J-55 (or K-55) seamless well casing to the total depth of the borehole. The casing will be equipped with sufficient centralizers, baskets and/or cement shoe to ensure a successful cementing operation. The Contractor will then cement each borehole to the surface with API Class-A type cement. Once the cement has set, the Contractor will drill the remaining distance to the mine void. When the borehole drilling operations have been completed, the Contractor will provide and install a wellhead that is capable of holding 2?? in diameter tubing. The wellhead will have two ports that will be closed with high pressure bull plugs. Once the drilling work has been completed, the Contractor will generate a final report that will summarize the work conducted at each drill site. The complete Statement of Work is contained in the attached solicitation package uploaded to this website. Availability of funding will determine how many boreholes can be drilled, therefore, pricing shall be provided as follows: Line Items costs shall include breakout of surveying, casing, cementing, wellhead, etc.. CLIN 0001 Drilling of Borehole C1 IAW SOW; CLIN 0002 Drilling of Borehole C2 IAW SOW; CLIN 0003 Drilling of Borehole A1 IAW SOW; CLIN 0004 Drilling of Borehole A2 IAW SOW; CLIN 0005 Mobilization/demobilization and downhole surveying costs per site; CLIN 0006 Summary Report Generation and CLIN 0007 Reclamation Costs Period of Performance is 3 months after receipt of notice to proceed.
