- Description
- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) in Shepherdstown, WV intends to solicit for landscape maintenance and snow removal services for the facility. The NCTC is an active training facility located on 532 acres fronting the Potomac River. The facility consists of 18 buildings with approximately 450,000 square feet. The campus is divided into an instructional area, a recreation area, a maintenance and utility support area, in addition to four guest lodges, accessed by 3.16 miles of paved public roadways,.66 miles of maintenance gravel roads, 30,284 SQYD of paved parking lots and loading dock areas, 2.94 miles of paved foot paths, 4.37 miles of non-paved walking trails, and a 300 foot wooden plank surface pedestrian bridge. NCTC is a vigilant environmental conservation center, ensuring the sustainability of the site and protecting the surrounding flora and fauna. All contractor equipment used and land management practices should reflect positive results under the LEED: Existing Buildings Operation and Maintenance thresholds, such as efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce heat island effects, eliminate light pollution, reduce noise pollution, and manage storm water runoff. The NCTC land management plan strives for a native appearance rather than one that is impeccably groomed and overly prescripted, thus enhancing the natural functions of the site and its surrounding ecology. PROJECT SCOPE: Sustainability management involves using low-impact landscape management, removal of snow and ice, cleaning sidewalks, managing pests, and maintaining the grounds. Sustainable landscape maintenance involves using or restoring native and adapted plants, which require less maintenance, less irrigation, limited plant watering, and fewer or no applications of chemical fertilizer or pesticides. The landscape maintenance services work includes mowing operations, edging, trimming, weeding and mulching, planting bed maintenance, removal of debris, repair of damaged turf, trees and shrubs, tree removal, pruning and maintenance, sign cleaning, roadway and trail maintenance, and land management maintenance. Snow and ice removal services work includes anti-slip treatment of the NCTC campus roadways, parking lots, loading docks, paved and concrete sidewalks, patios, building entrances, stairways, and foot bridges. Special care must be utilized in clearing the Commons and Quad areas where there is Decorative Pavement (stamped asphalt). Information on a site visit and instructions to obtain access to the site will be provided in the solicitation. It is anticipated that a single organized site visit will be conducted approximately one week after the release of the solicitation. PROPOSAL PERIOD: The request for proposals is scheduled for release on or about 05 January, 2015. The proposals will be due on or about 04 February 2015. The anticipated award is 16 March 2015. PROPOSAL PROCEDURES: The acquisition will be issued as a Small Business Set-Aside, Request for Proposals, through FedBizOpps. The solicitation will be for a base year and include four option years for a total of five years. The magnitude of this project is estimated to be between $250,000.00 and $340,000.00 per year. This acquisition will result in a single fixed price contract. Award shall be made to the responsible contractor, whose proposal, conforming to the request for proposal, will be most advantageous to the Government. Evaluation criteria will be specified in the request for proposal, which will include, as attachments, a Statement of Work and other supporting documents. This is an electronically issued acquisition. The Government will issue the request for proposal via FedBizOpps. Proposals will be received in hard/paper copies only.
