Description

This is a combined Synopsis/Solicitation for commercial items 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; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Firm, fixed-price quotes are requested under Request for Quotation (RFQ) Solicitation number DLQ070067. This document incorporates provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-19. This solicitation is set-aside for small business under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541990. The Small Business Annual Receipts for the firm and its Affiliates, for the preceding three (3) fiscal years does not exceed $6.5 million. The line item number is: Line Item 0001, Physical Closure of Seven Abandoned Mine Land Adits, Quantity, 1 Lump Sum. Scope of Work Background: Abandoned Mine Land (AML) investigations were conducted from the years 2000 to 2004 by the Boise District in the War Eagle Mountain area within the Owyhee Field Office. These investigations resulted in the discovery of 23 dangerous open mine workings at Eight AML sites on War Eagle Mountain and in Silver City. All of the workings pose significant threats to public safety. This is especially true due to the increase in public visitation to the area in the past few years. This project will reduce or eliminate safety hazards for Seven of the top priority sites that are located on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Issue: The sites consist of 2 open shafts and 5 open adits generally located in T 5 S, R 3 W, Sections 4, 8, & 9, Boise Meridian, Owyhee County, Idaho. All openings are easily accessible and are potentially very hazardous to the public. All the prospects are located on War Eagle Mountain which is readily accessible by vehicle and is getting frequent visits from the public. Because of the physical safety hazards found at these sites, the proposal is to mitigate and remedy any hazards these sites pose to the public while at the same time protecting habitat for bats where there are concerns. Remediation of abandoned open mine workings would depend on the type of opening, stability of an opening, and if wildlife habitat within a working (bat habitat) needs to be protected. Any adit that has the potential for bat habitat, even if bat surveys identify no current use, will have bat gates or bat gate culverts installed. Work would consist of installing BLM Wildlife Biologist approved bat gate culverts at 5 sites and fabricating bat friendly closures at the two shafts. Solidifying foam would be used to help close off openings and seal the bat gate culverts in place. All work areas would utilize waste rock from adjacent mine workings for custom finish work, fill, and contouring. Work Performance: Specific work to be performed by the contractor is listed below by each site of concern. Where bat gate culverts are to be installed the structures will be supplied by the BLM. These will be placed inside the adit and then the remaining open areas around the bat gate will be sealed off with solidifying foam and finished with waste rock available on site. The contractor will be responsible for picking the bat gate culverts up from the Boise District ware yard and transporting them to the work site. All other structures will be fabricated and/or constructed by the contractor as part of this contract. Work may include the use of a backhoe, track hoe, bulldozer, and pickup truck. Welding in a remote location will require mobile welding equipment. Contractor is responsible for transporting all materials to the project locations.
