- Description
- This is a Sources Sought Synopsis only.NASA/JSC is hereby soliciting capabilities information from certified 8(a), HUBZone, andService Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns within a five stateregion consisting of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas for theconstruction project Utility Tunnel Flood Mitigation at Johnson Space Center (JSC). The purpose of this request is to determine the appropriate level of competition inaccordance with FAR 19.10 Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program.Information received will be used to make a determination regarding the use of full andopen competition or to set aside the procurement as an 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSBset-aside. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor these sites for therelease of any solicitation or synopsis. It is anticipated the NASA/JSC will issue a solicitation for a General Constructioncontract for the Utility Tunnel Flood Mitigation project. The NAICS code for theproject is 236220 with a small business size standard of $33.5 million. This NAICS codeties directly with FAR 19 of the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program,under the title of Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The magnitude ofthe project is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 as set forth in FAR 36.204 Disclosureof the Magnitude of Construction Projects. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If asolicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA AcquisitionInternet Service. This project will provide an upgraded floodwater removal and discharge system for theJohnson Space Center utility tunnel system. Existing sump pumps shall be upgraded fromstandard ventilated electric motors with submersible motors with appropriate waterproofelectrical connections. In addition, the project will install a set of large submersiblepumps, with their own dedicated power supplies and controls, for rapid removal anddischarge of floodwaters inside the tunnels. The project shall modify the lowest pointin the tunnel system to accommodate the pumps.In addition to the installation of pumpsto remove storm water, all water entry points into the tunnel system shall be modified toprevent or, at a minimum, significantly restrict water flow through the openings. Thisincludes vents, hatches, tunnel entry points into buildings, tunnel removable equipmenthatches, and tunnel utility penetrations. This project is necessary to mitigate the consequences of a catastrophic flooding of theJSC utility system tunnel as identified in the Flood and Related Risk Mitigation Study atthe Johnson Space Center. The study has identified storm surge from a hurricane orprolonged heavy rainfall during a typical tropical storm as potential sources offloodwater. New submersible sump pumps shall mitigate localized flooding in tunnelzones.The larger dedicated sump pumps will prevent the tunnel system from flooding tothe point that the high voltage conductors, data and communication cabling, and otherutilities are submerged and rendered out of commission. Tunnel vents, hatches, utilitypenetrations, and tunnel entry points into buildings shall prevent or significantlyrestrict water flow through the openings. Certified 8(a), HUBZone and SDVOSB General Construction Companies capable of performingas prime contractors that meet the requirements of this synopsis are asked to submitcapability statements in no more than seven (7) pages. Material submitted shall notcontain binding of any kind or be submitted in hard or soft folders.

These references must highlight relevantwork performed, contract numbers, contract type, dollar value of each procurement, apoint of contact - address and phone numbers. Highlight performed work in a tunnel system containing mission critical utilities such ashigh voltage feeders, energized piping systems, steam, mission critical data cables.2) Ability to meet the 15% requirement of work to be performed by the prime contractor,not including the cost of materials, with its own employees as set forth in FAR52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting. Provide examples of three (3) past projectswith emphasis on work performed on a Federal installation where the potential offeror hasperformed 15% or greater of the effort for similar projects ranging from a magnitude of$5,000,000 to $10,000,000. The provided examples are to indicate that the potentialofferor is capable of performing the primary and vital functions of the contract inaccordance with the Ostensible Subcontractor Rule, 13 C.F.R. 121.103(h)(4)(2005). NOTE:Projects that satisfy the requirements of both items 1 and 2 of the synopsis only need tobe submitted once.3) Identify any OSHA violations within the last 3 years, specifically injury or deathrelated. Also provide disposition of any OSHA violations. If no violations have occurred,please so state;4) Ability to meet Miller Act performance and payment bonding capacity of 100 percent ofthe contract price as per FAR 52.228-15. Capability statement must demonstrate bondingcapacity for the magnitude of projects ranging from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000.5) Experience with new construction, partial and total renovations, or majorrefurbishment, including utility tunnel and distribution systems requiring significantcoordination of all necessary trades, such as mechanical, structural, concrete, sitepreparation, interior renovations, and electrical to accomplish the work for a facilitysimilar in size and scope in a work environment with special access requirements, andrestricted periods of time when work can be performed. Performance of work withspecialty items such as operational utility distribution system at an operationallycritical site must be demonstrated;6) Experience involving a broad range of skills, including, but not limited to site work,paving, utilities, structures, electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems, finishes,furnishing/outfitting, carpentry;7) Experience in managing and coordinating subcontractors to perform electrical,mechanical, civil, structural, and other specialty type work required to completecontractual requirements of projects. This should include qualified project managers andsuperintendents familiar with construction;8) Knowledge of and experience with Government construction regulations and OSHA safetystandards (Government Safety and Health Plans);9) Experience in developing safety and health plans including the ability to comply withthe JSC Total Safety and Health Handbook located at http://jschandbook.jsc.nasa.gov/.
