The bridge is located at:� 40�36'59.7""N 115�22'36.9""W 40.616571, -115.376915 Description:�This project consists of design (taking the government drawings to a fabricator and having them do shop drawings), purchasing, delivering, and installing a 27-foot span glulam timber trail bridge with metal railing. The site is roughly one mile up a hiking trail with a 10% grade (approx.) with two switchbacks and may require the use of a helicopter for transport. In this case, the contractor would be responsible for coordinating the weight of the various bridge components with the available helicopter.� The site is not accessible by a vehicle and the topography around the existing bridge is very steep.� Existing rock/ stacked abutments will remain in place and be used as abutments for the new bridge. A staging area (approx. 3,200 SF) will be made available for bridge materials at the Roads End trailhead at the end of Lamoille Canyon Road, which is where the trail to the site begins. The existing bridge will be removed and disposed of. All nonnative components must be removed from the forest. Quantities associated with this work are identified in the Schedule of Items. All work shall be in compliance with the contract documents. Work includes, but is not limited to purchase, transportation, and installation of a new glulam trail bridge placed on preexisting abutments as per the attached plans, and the removal of the existing bridge structure and components. NAICS Code:�237310 - Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction PSC Code: Y1LB - Construction of Highways, Roads, Streeets, Bridges, and Railways SBA Size Standard: $45.0� Site Visit Date (Not Mandatory): 07/30/2024 at 10:00 AM PDT 07/30/2024 at 11:00 AM PDT.�For scheduling inquiries only, contact dakota.krist@usda.gov (Do not email her questions in person regarding the actual project during the site visit. Please send any of your questions to elizabeth.ratcliff@usda.gov using the appropiate template). In accordance with the Procurement Integrity Act (41 U.S.C. � 21, 41 USC � 423) and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 3.104, potential contractors are strictly prohibited from making direct contact with Federal Government program managers, engineers, or any other personnel seeking products or services other than the contracting officer or contracting specialist responsible for that contract opportunity. The solicitation is anticipated to be issued on or about July, 2024. Interested contractors should monitor the SAM.gov website for the actual release of the solicitation. *�Please ensure to CC elizabeth.ratcliff@usda.gov in all e-mail scheduling correspondence that is sent to Dakota Krist.* Solicitation/Award Type: This requirement is being solicited as a 100% Total Small Business set-aside, with the intent to award a Firm-Fixed Price contract. A single award will be made from the solicitation without discussions.� Technical Requirements: Contractors are expected to provide all necessary management, labor, equipment, and materials for the renovation of the exterior landscape of the visitor center. This includes, but is not limited to, installation of an irrigation system, tree and plant work, construction of compacted aggregate pathways, and rock work. Contractors must visit the site to familiarize with conditions before bidding. All necessary licenses, permits, and compliance with laws are the contractor's responsibility, including liability for damages.� Period of Performance: 60 Days from Notice to Prceed.�Anticipated August 2024. All construction work to be completed NLT 9/30/2025 (Subject to change). Magnitude: Between $25,000 and $115,000. In accordance with FAR 36.204, for construction contracts, we are obligated to state the magnitude of a project using price ranges, both in terms of its physical characteristics and estimated price range. However, it's crucial to understand that these price ranges are broad categories and selecting one does not imply that our budget is at the higher end of that range. The intent is to give a general sense of the project's scale without revealing the Government's precise estimate. For instance, if we categorize a project as being ""Between�$1,000,000 and $5,000,000,"" it doesn't mean our budget is close to $5,000,000. It simply means the estimated cost falls within that bracket. The actual value could be anywhere within that range. We hope this clarifies the approach outlined by FAR 36.204.� Solicitation:�The solicitation is anticipated to be issued on or after July 2024. Solicitation Documents: All future information about this acquisition, including amendments, will be distributed solely through this site. The complete solicitation package will be attached and made available only through SAM.gov, https://sam.gov/content/home on or after 15 days of this notice. Interested parties are responsible for monitoring this site to ensure that they have the most up-to-date information about this acquisition to include amendments. Anyone wishing to participate in this proposed procurement must obtain a copy from SAM.gov.� Contractors are required to be actively registered with the System for Award Management (SAM) https://www.sam.gov prior to submitting a proposal and to be considered for award. Registering in the SAM system is FREE. If you need assistance, please be sure to reach out your local Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) representative.
