- Description
- This is a Pre-solicitation Notice (Synopsis) and is for informational�purposes only. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS, QUOTATIONS, OR BIDS. The Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District, intends to issue a Request for Proposal�(RFP) for one (1) Firm Fixed Price Construction Contract.�Contract work consists of a large-scale earthwork project to construct approximately 15,000�linear feet of earthen embankments at Cell 1 of the Killcohook Dredged Material Placement�Facility (DMPF) adjacent to the Delaware River in Salem County, NJ. Approximately 500,000�cubic yards of dredged materials must be moved from within the approximately 300-acre site,�compacted in lifts and final graded to meet the lines and grades required. Some of the�embankments will include geogrid reinforcement. Significant experience and expertise with�large scale earthwork projects and access to a significant amount of earthmoving equipment and�labor will be required to complete all work within an 18-month period of performance. The soils�that comprise the available dredged materials are predominately fine-grained in nature (i.e.,�contain silts and clays of low and high plasticity), with some sand and gravel in limited�areas. As such, these soils are highly susceptible to changes in moisture content which may limit�construction activities during periods of wet or freezing weather. Contractor must be able to deal�with problems that include seepage of water into excavations, softening of exposed subgrade�soils, loss of soil shear strength, etc. It is anticipated that the existing dredged material proposed�to construct the dikes will require consistent and active moisture conditioning to achieve a�moisture content near or at optimum to achieve the specified compaction�requirements. Consequently, prudent earthwork techniques such as disking, stockpile�management, aeration, promoting positive drainage, limiting construction traffic and allowing�for drying days must be utilized to facilitate fill placement and compaction activities. It should be�anticipated that protection of exposed excavation subgrades will need to be exercised to�minimize disturbance. The contract documents will include available date from the latest�subsurface investigations and associated geotechnical laboratory testing. A licensed�Geotechnical Engineer will be required for the evaluation of this data and assistance in�preparation of bid documents as well as work plans that will be required of the successful�bidder. The work will also require the installation of three steel sluice structures and associated�30-inch steel outfall pipes for site drainage. The sluice structures and pipes will be provided as�Government Furnished Materials.� The contract duration for construction is anticipated at approximately 550 calendar days. In�accordance with FAR 36.204 and DFARS 236.204, the Magnitude of Construction for this�project is between $10,000,000 to $25,000,000. The NAICS Code for this project is 237990 and�the small business size standard is $37 million. Solicitation No. W912BU23R0007 is anticipated to be issued on or about August 08, 2023, as a�small business set aside procurement. The Government intends to award a firm fixed price�contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the terms of the RFP notice, is�determined fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government as�determined through the Best Value Trade-off process (FAR 15.101-1). Offerors should review�the entire solicitation once it is posted. Information within this presolicitation notice is subject to�change.� The clauses at FAR 52.236-2, Differing Site Conditions and 52.236-3, Site Investigations and�Conditions Affecting the Work will be included in the solicitation and contract award.�Accordingly, offerors are urged to inspect the site where the work will be performed. Bonding will be required at the time of proposal submission, by separate Bid Bonds; and after award but�before Notice to Proceed, Performance and Payment Bonds will be required. Any contract�awarded from the solicitation will contain Liquidated Damages, FAR 52.211-12 � Liquidated�Damages - Construction, and the amount will be published with the solicitation.� Vendors must be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM) database to receive�a government contract award. Vendors may register for SAM online at www.sam.gov or by�calling 1-836-606-8220. The solicitation is anticipated to be issued and provided in an electronic format, free of charge, in�Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Solicitation System.� To familiarize vendors with the system, please go to: https://pieetraining.eb.mil/wbt/xhtml/wbt/sol/index.xhtml The vendor PIEE registration guide is available at: https://piee.eb.mil/xhtml/unauth/web/homepage/vendorGettingStartedHelp.xhtml
