Description
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation notice of intent, to procure commercial items prepared in accordance with the format of FAR Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are not being requested, and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being issued as a Notice of Intent (NOI8198). This solicitation and its incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC2005-23. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) intends to procure maintenance services for the terrazzo marble floor in our BLDG. 40 facility, which is located on the National Institutes of Health campus. This service will be required on a monthly basis. This service is being procured on a sole source basis using Simplified Acquisition procedures, with the Stuart Dean Company. Stuart Dean is an accredited founding member of the Marble Institute of America (MIA) and the International Association of Stone Restoration and Conservation (IASRAC). Their processes and proprietary methods are accepted by the above, routinely out perform the competition and are of higher quality and achieve longer lasting results. Stuart Dean is also a participatory member of the American Society of Testing Materials and is asked to test products and systems for the regulatory body. Stuart Dean is a National Associate Member of BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association) International. They have provided maintenance in Bldg. 40 facility for the past 4 Years. This is not a small business Set-Aside. The requirement consists of monthly maintenance of the following: 1) 4,200 square feet of terrazzo marble in 1st floor public area: 2) elevator lobby; 3) steps leading to North rotunda entrance; 4) landing at base of stairs; 5) areas to be refinished will be completely masked and covered with protective paper and plastic to ensure integrity of delicate finishes adjacent to marble, such as bronze and wood; 6) all light to medium scratches will be removed using abrasive means including resin-bonded diamond pads and sand screens in conjunction with a weighted floor machine; 7) a powdered mixture of oxalic acid, aluminum oxide and water will be used as a polishing compound under a 19 natural fiber-polishing pad; 8) once even polished is achieved, all polishing slurry will be removed by use of a water vacuum, followed by a two-step neutralizing process achieved by flooding the polished area with ph balanced stone soap; 9) vitrification or crystallization of marble will be performed to improve the floors, slip co-efficient and enhance the hardness of shine, per manufacturers specifications utilizing specially low-rotation floor machine and #2 Texsteel steel wool pads. The scope of the work is to restore the luster and sheen of the floor material by adherence to methodology developed by the Marble Institute of America and the International Association of Stone Restoration and Conservation. Workers skilled in vitrification process are a mandatory requirement. Depending on the extent of the wear, the requirements include polishing with abrasive compounds and vitrification of the surface. It is critical that the thickness of the marble be minimized as the marble is ground during the polishing process. The marble is only a fraction of an inch thick, and serious repercussions could arise regarding the longevity of the floor. It is critical that only an experienced, high-quality firm perform this work. The Period of Performance will be February 2008 through January 2009. The North American Industry Classification System Code Number 238990 and the Small business Set-Aside is 12.0 million. The FOB point shall be Destination. This will be a firm-fixed price contract.
