Description

TAS::14 1041::TAS RECOVERY CHOH PMIS # 149742 Reconstruct and Stabilize Big Slackwater Historic Stone Wall and Towpath This Project is an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) action. Receipt of award is contingent upon the offeror's meeting the requirements of Section 1512 (reports of use of funds) of the Recovery Act. General: The National Park Service, Department of Interior, is soliciting proposals for construction firms having the capability to perform the work described as follows: Reconstruct and Stabilize Big Slackwater Historic Stone Wall and Towpath at the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park near Williamsport, Maryland. Solicitation Number N2011100172. PMIS Number CHOH 149742. The offeror selected shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment and expertise necessary to perform all operations required for the successful completion of this project. Description: The towpath was constructed on fill sections behind a masonry retaining wall or on an intermittent rock ledge at the base of a steep bluff. The historic stone masonry retaining wall that supports the towpath has been badly damaged by repeated floods and has not been repaired adequately since the canal ceased operations in 1924. Reconstruction will reestablish the towpath along a 4000-ft stretch of historic walls. An elevated walkway will be constructed along portions of the towpath adjacent to the rock bluffs. In other areas, the historic wall will be stabilized and the towpath reconstructed. This project will require working from barges in the river and land-based staging areas. Work will be undertaken in segments to facilitate construction. Some of the work will require barge-mounted cranes to move material and place construction components including pre-cast concrete deck slabs on cast-in-place concrete piers. The river's depth at the towpath wall varies from 3 to 18 feet depending on seasonal fluctuations in the river's level. Type of Acquisition: A negotiated, firm-fixed price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and a price proposal. The government will consider an offeror's technical capability, subcontracting plan, past performance, and price to determine the best value (trade-off process) to the government. The NAICS code for this project is 237310 and the small business size standard is $33.5 million. In accordance with FAR Subpart 36.204, the estimated price range for this contract is between $9,000,000 and $15,000,000. The contract duration is 500 calendar days following the notice to proceed.
