- Description
- This Source Sought Notice (SS) is for information and planning purposes only and shallnot be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Bureau of Reclamation. The purpose of this SS is to identify qualified sources capable of performing the work described herein. As a result of this SS, the Bureau of Reclamation may issue a Request for Proposal (RFP). The US Bureau of Reclamation, Denver Office, Acquisitions Operations Group is performing a market survey to determine if there are an adequate number of interested and qualified firms having the capability to complete work related to Nonlinear Incremental Structural Analysis (NISA). The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is constructing a mass concrete control structure for Folsom Dam Modifications in California. The control structure will require placing approximately 235,000 cubic yards of mass and structural concrete. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) Materials Engineering and Research Laboratory (MERL) is performing concrete materials investigations and laboratory testing for USACE. This includes field reconnaissance studies, sampling, and testing of aggregates from two prospective aggregate sources, and development of the mass concrete mixture proportioning and laboratory testing program. The Bureau of Reclamation Technical Service Center Civil Engineering Services division has been asked by USACE to perform a NISA for the control structure in accordance with the requirements of USACE ETL 1110-2-365 Nonlinear, Incremental Structural Analysis of Massive Concrete Structures. The NISA is a sophisticated, highly nonlinear numerical analysis with a significant number of input parameters including time dependent variables. In addition, the USACE ETL 1110-2-365 states that the NISA relies heavily on previous experience and engineering judgment. As such, the engineering private contractor shall have extensive experience in the completion of previous NISA studies. Based upon response to this announcement, the Government may determine to set this acquisition aside or proceed with an unrestricted solicitation. The applicable North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) is 541330 and the related small business size standard is $4.5 million. This notice is not a request for proposal and the information presented in this announcement will not obligate the Bureau of Reclamation in any manner. Interested parties should include the following information in their response: (a) Business name, address, cage code, size classification based on NAICS size standard, socioeconomic classification (i.e. HUBZone and/or 8(a)), and a point of contact; (b) A positive statement of your intention to submit an offer for a solicitation as a prime contractor; (c) Evidence of successful completion of a minimum of three NISA studies in accordance with the requirements of USACE ETL 1110-2-365 including completion of the studies using ABAQUS/ANACAP-U finite element software. The evidence should include: contract numbers, project titles, dollar amounts and points of contacts with telephone numbers. Please do not include more than three past projects; and (d) Include attachments cataloging the company's equipment assets, personnel resources and financial resources that demonstrate company responsibility and capability to perform required work. All interested parties are encouraged to respond to this notice, by e-mail to rbrackett@usbr.gov no later than the close of business on July 24, 2009. Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and Annual Representations and Certifications, as required by FAR 4.1102, apply to this procurement. Prospective contractors must be registered prior to award. Lack of registration in the CCR database will make an offeror ineligible for award. Information on CCR registration can be obtained via the Internet at http://www.ccr.gov. Information on annual Representations and Certifications can be obtained via the Internet at http://orca.bpn.gov.
