- Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Procurement. The Government intends to issue a sole source contract for the privatization of the water distribution system for the Indiana Air National Guard Base (ANGB) located at Terre Haute International Airport-Hulman Field, to Seelyville Water. Privatization is defined as the transfer of ownership and responsibility for the operations, maintenance, repair, future upgrades, and future utility system replacements. Seelyville Water (Contractor) will assume ownership of the above-mentioned utility systems and will be required to provide expansions to the system to meet future needs of the government. The resulting contract, if awarded, will require the Contractor to furnish all facilities, labor, materials, tools, and equipment necessary to own, maintain, and operate the utility system. The Contractor shall manage the maintenance, repairs, replacement, etc., of the system to ensure continuous, adequate, and dependable service for each Government or tenant connection within the service area. The Contractor shall be responsible for funding all capital investments required to acquire, maintain and operate the utility system in a safe, reliable condition and to meet the requirements listed in the contract. The utility system will be conveyed via a Bill of Sale upon award of the contract. The water system being privatized is described as follows The 181st Fighter Wing (FW) of the Indiana Air National Guard occupies 891.88 acres of leased land on the Terre Haute International Airport-Hulman Field, situated approximately five miles east of downtown Terre Haute, located in west central Indiana. The 181st FW occupies 4 administrative, 23 industrial, and 4 services buildings totaling approximately 323,335 square feet with approximately 275 full-time personnel. A unit training drill is conducted once a month and results in a surge of up to a total of approximately 1250 personnel. Water is supplied by Seelyville Water and enters the base at one point. The configuration is a looped system with multiple dead-end branches and with water delivered at 72 psig. The distribution system consists of approximately 3,500 linear feet of PVC pipe, 13,400 linear feet of ductile iron pipe, 430 linear feet of steel pipe, and 150 linear feet of copper pipe. Pipe diameter ranges from 3/4 inch to eight inches. Pipes are buried at an average depth of five feet without the use of tracer wire or marking tape. The system also has 42 cast iron-gate valves, four brass valves, 26 fire hydrant assemblies, five water meters, a water pumping station (with two 15 hp pumps) and two 60,000 gallon ground level reinforced concrete water storage tanks. Base personnel indicate the capacity of the current system is adequate for present and future needs. Competitive proposals were requested in 2001 and no offers were received. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of DoD Utility Privatization Policy dated 2002. However, interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This information shall include: confirmation of your understanding that the requirement includes purchasing the distribution system, and then entering into a 50-year contract for the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the systems; furnish us with references indicating your prior experience operating, maintaining, repairing and replacing such systems; and indicate how you would meet the emergency response time requirement of one hour. All responses received within ten calendar days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Interested sources shall contact William Baker, William.baker@interr.ang.af.mil, phone number 812-877-5142 Original Point of Contact William Baker, William.baker@interr.ang.af.mil, phone number 812-877-5142
