- This is a sources sought notice to check availability of certified 8a contactors that may be interested and qualified to bid on a Base Operation Support Services to a remote island. Interested contractors would need to have work related experience with 1) Base Operation Support Services (BOSS); 2) Construction Task Order Contracts; and 3) Airfield Operations. A separate Task Order Construction contract would be awarded to the same contractor. Both of these contracts will be awarded with a base year and up to four (4) option years and cover the infrastructure and airfield operations at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. Three (3) NAICS codes are applicable to this requirement as follows: NAICS code 561210 - Facility Support Services, NAICS code 488199 - Airfield Operations and NAICS code 238990 - Specialty Trade Contractors. NAICS code 561210 (Facility Support Services) is the main requirement. Based upon above information and general information listed below on conditions and service descriptions of Midway, interested and certified 8a contractors are encouraged to submit a qualifications package to Karl_Lautzenheiser@fws.gov by 3 PM PDT on October 15, 2015 (not-to-exceed 10 pages) for review on similar work performed over the last 10 years. Conditions: Midway Atoll National Wildlife (NWR) is located in the North Central Pacific Ocean at 28 degrees 12 minutes north latitude and 177 degree 22 minutes west longitude. It is about 1,250 miles west-northwest of Honolulu, Hawaii. As a U.S. possession, it is the only atoll in the Hawaiian Island chain not within the State of Hawaii. For purposes of this contract, when referring to state and local regulations, the Contractor shall be required to follow state regulations for the state of Hawaii so long as it does not interfere with Federal law. Midway offers remarkable wildlife - nearly 3 million seabirds and a diversity of other marine life. Midway has also played a notable role in human history from its first settlement in the early 1900's through its many years as a U.S. Navy base. Its importance in the final outcome of World War II in the Pacific has been recognized by its designation as the Battle of Midway National Memorial. Midway Atoll NWR was established in April, 1988 by Cooperative Agreement between the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). Following its closure under the Base Realignment and Closure Act of 1990, Midway was transferred to the Department of Interior on October 31, 1996 when President Clinton signed Executive Order 13022. Today, Midway Atoll NWR functions as one of over 500 National Wildlife Refuges that comprise the National Wildlife Refuge System. Its retention of many of the military facilities that were constructed on the island is not unique within the system, but retention of a functioning airport makes it unlike any other refuge. Its location within the Pacific Ocean makes Midway vital to commercial airlines flying twin engine commercial jets to Asia. Those jets must have access to an emergency airport en route, and that airport is Midway. The added infrastructure and cost that stem from that requirement are substantial and complex. Midway Atoll is also a fully functioning refuge with a vital and growing biological program with numerous long term monitoring and research efforts ongoing at all times and an expanding visitor use program. Product or Service Descriptions: Midway's annual activity may be grouped into three main elements: refuge programs consisting of biological monitoring, habitat restoration and the visitor use program; infrastructure operations and maintenance; and airport operations. Full time Service employees and a cadre of Service volunteers work on the refuge programs throughout the year. Nearly all of the infrastructure operations and maintenance and all the airport operations are done by a Contractor hired by the Service for that purpose. A synopsis of work elements extracted from the Performance work Statement are as follows: Contractor shall operate and maintain the Midway electrical power system, the Midway potable and non potable water systems, the Midway waste management system, the Midway communications System, the Midway waste management system, shall quarterly inspect all buildings and structures, shall work with the Refuge Manager to develop a grounds maintenance plan within the improved areas of the island, shall maintain a material management system that will facilitate the ordering, transportation, retrograde, and warehousing of material/supplies, shall be responsible for the operations to provide food services, shall provide the operation of the billeting function including transient and permanent party Contractor billeting, shall provide weekly custodial services for all common use areas of permanent party personnel, shall provide, at a minimum, a qualified Physicians Assistant for the medical care of Contractor employees, Service employees and volunteers, and island visitors, shall provide Pest monitoring and preventative control, shall operate an MWR program (Captain Brooks, All Hands Club, bowling center, barber shop, gym, racquetball court, weight room, sales store, shall provide necessary qualified staff to operate and maintain Midway Island Airfield, shall operate, maintain, and document the fuel farm and related infrastructure, shall operate Charlie Barracks as the primary visitor lodging, shall be responsible for preparing and serving food at the Clipper House for all refuge visitors staying in Charlie Barracks, shall develop and provide, in coordination with the Refuge Manager, MWR opportunities for the visitor program, will maintain and restore historical buildings, shall modify the existing Airport Master Plan (AMP) and provide a revised AMP, shall submit the US Fish and Wildlife Over and Above Work Request Form (Work Request) which describes over and above work required in relationship to the Categories listed in Appendix H, Subsistence shall be handled on a reimbursable basis, shall set a pricing for cargo transportation, approved by the Refuge Manager
