- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE for a Market Research ONLY to determine the availability of small business firms for a potential small business category type set-aside. NO AWARD will be made from this Sources Sought. NO SOLICITATION, SPECIFICATIONS, OR DRAWINGS ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME; therefore, do NOT request a copy of a solicitation. Potential offerors having the skill, capabilities and bonding necessary to perform the described project are invited to provide feedback via email to Ms. Sells at Marsha.R.Sells@usace.army.mil. All responses will be used to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy for a potential future acquisition. Particularly, the purpose of this NOTICE is to gain knowledge of potential small business sources to include small business in the following categories: Certified 8a, Certified HUB Zone, Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), for a Market Survey for Hamilton City Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project, Glenn County, California. The capabilities will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining to Set-Aside for the Small Business Community or to conduct as an Other Than Small Business Procurement. Other than small businesses may respond to this NOTICE in the event the market does not indicate SB interest, however, preference will be given to the SB categories listed above. The government must ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of available contractors. This project is planned for advertising in January 2015. The estimated cost range according to the FAR 36.204 is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The NAICS Code is 237990, the size standard is $36.5 million, and the Federal Supply Code is Y1PC, Construction of Unimproved real property (land). The project will construct a setback levee about 6.8 miles long and degrade an existing quote mark J quote mark levee, actively restoring 1,145 acres of riparian woodland, 261 acres of riparian shrub, and 70 acres of floodplain meadow now cut off by that levee. To accomplish ecosystem restoration, most of an existing quote mark J quote mark levee will be removed to reconnect the river to the floodplain and allow for overbank flooding. In areas where the quote mark J quote mark levee reduces velocities of the Sacramento River, the quote mark J quote mark levee will remain in place. The new setback levee will begin two miles north of Hamilton City. It will tie into high ground near the end of the quote mark J quote mark levee to prevent flows greater than 250 year event from wrapping around the setback levee and over County Road 203 and into populated areas. County Road 203 will be ramped approximately 2.5 feet from its current height over the setback levee. Glenn County constructed a short setback levee near the northern end of the quote mark J quote mark levee in 2003, that is serving as a quote mark training dike quote mark for the new setback levee. Entrenched rock will be placed on either of the waterside or landside of this training dike to direct flows and potential river migration away from the new setback levee. The setback levee will run SE along County Road 203 then turn easterly and run parallel to the Sacramento River for about 1,300 feet. A seepage berm will be constructed on the landside of the setback levee from the northern end of the levee to Dunning Slough. The levee will have a 90 percent reliability of passing the 75 year event. At Highway 32, the levee will turn east and run parallel to the highway until tying into the approach at Gianella Bridge. The highway will not need to be raised, but rock riprap will be placed to protect the levee embankment and bridge from floodwaters. South of Highway 32, the alignment follows the existing quote mark J quote mark levee adjacent to Irvine Finch River Access. South of this access, the levee will be aligned away from the river to open up the floodplain. The alignment will cut across a portion of Dunning Slough and provide protection to the Hamilton City wastewater treatment plant. An existing ditch within Dunning Slough will be used to drain runoff from the agricultural fields and Hamilton City. This drain will connect to the floodplain via a culvert in the setback levee south of Dunning Slough. The alignment will follow the western edge of the habitat restoration area before turning east and merging with the southern end of the quote mark J quote mark levee at Road 23. As the levee turns east, the levee height will gradually decrease from 9 feet to approximately 2 feet. At this point the new setback levee will transition into a quote mark training dike quote mark. This height reduction will avoid negative hydraulic effects to downstream property owners. The training dike continues a mile south of Road 23, running west of the United Status Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) boundary. This project will manage flood risk for the town of Hamilton City and adjacent agricultural lands while providing significant habitat acreage in the floodplain. Small businesses are reminded under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines 52.219-14, the concern will perform at least 30% of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees.
