- Description
- 1. The U.S. Army Engineering Support Center, Huntsville, Alabama (CEHNC) is seeking sources for potential contracts to provide support for the CEHNC Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) program to provide recurring maintenance (quarterly, semi-annual, and annual) and minor repair services to include the repair and replacement of petroleum equipment and maintenance related construction services at Government petroleum facilities in the continental United States (CONUS). 2. The contractor will properly maintain and repair federally funded petroleum systems and other facilities located at the Garrisons and military installations in order to provide compliance with code, criteria, and regulations. Petroleum system means an underground or aboveground storage tank, connected piping, ancillary equipment and appurtenances, and containment system, if any. The contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, transportation, supplies, vehicles, tools, materials, facilities, equipment, and incidentals necessary to conduct inspections, preventive maintenance, unscheduled/corrective maintenance, minor repair, and minor construction on the petroleum systems. Contractor shall be required to maintain petroleum systems, equipment, and accessories to operate reliably and satisfactorily. Maintenance tasks are primarily funded by DESC in accordance with the DOD regulation 4140.25-M chapter 8. Preventive maintenance tasks will be defined as recurrent, periodic or scheduled work to preserve a facility by preventing its deterioration. Unscheduled/Corrective maintenance will also be required under this contract and will be defined as necessary, not already scheduled (or preventive) maintenance, in order to address and correct a facility defect for the preservation of the facility. Other maintenance may be ordered by the Garrisons for non-petroleum systems such as for separators, piping, tanks, sewers, storm drains. Minor Repair will be defined as the restoration of a real property to such a condition that it may effectively be utilized for its designated purpose by overhaul, reprocessing or replacement of constituent parts or materials that have deteriorated by action or elements or usage and that have not been corrected through maintenance. Periodic testing of systems/components, generally on a quarterly basis, is included within the DESC definitions of maintenance and repair. Other repair may be ordered by the Garrisons for non-petroleum systems such as for separators, piping, tanks, sewers, storm drains, or requirements to meet compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 3. CEHNC intends to solicit and award multiple Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contracts (one base-year with four, one-year option periods) for the DESC program. It is the Governments intent to consider awarding a portion of this acquisition under the Small Business set-aside program per FAR Part 19. As a result, the Government is performing market research in order to determine if small businesses possess the capability to execute some or all of the requirements of this anticipated request for proposal (RFP). During the first year of the contract, the plan is to provide recurring maintenance and repair services for petroleum facilities at 33 Army installations, Army Reserves and Army National Guard facility locations in CONUS. The majority of these installations are collocated in the Southeast region (see attached site list). In future years, the intention is to extend these services, on a regional basis (i.e. Northeast, Northwest, and Southwest), to Army installations, Army Reserves and Army National Guard facility locations throughout CONUS. A site-list of performance locations will be provided upon request. Please email the request to: lanita.mcgraw-holloway@usace.army.mil 4.
