This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested, and a written solicitation document will not be issued. This solicitation is a for quotations (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2019-03. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 212321 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. Cape Hatteras National Seashore is seeking the supply of construction materials. All interested companies shall provide a quotation for the following: Construction Materials for the National Park Service Cape Hatteras National Seashore (CAHA) site locations include: 1) Ocracoke North end ferry bulk material storage yard a. 35.189489 N -75.783677 W 2) Buxton - Parking area between Cape Point CG and South beach Road (back of Cape Point Campground) See Figure 2. a. 35 14�06.73 N, 75 32�37.52 W BACKGROUND AND EXISTING CONDITIONS The NPS maintains vehicle access ways to the National Seashore using sand for the surface. Sand, per the instructions of the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Agency (CAMA) is used for repairs and maintenance to the access ways. NC Highway 12 runs from Bodie Island south to Ocracoke Island. The NPS has sand ramps at various locations along Highway 12. The north end of Ocracoke Island includes a stock pile area for dredge material and other materials including Sand, Clay, and Shell. The NPS utilizes the Sand, Clay, and Shell to maintain the access ramps as off road driving paths. The sand and clay must be of a content that is conducive to road building, hardpack base construction, and surface material. Sand material which includes approximately 10% - 20% clay has been found to endure off road vehicle traffic much better than sandy soils containing no fines, as well as sandy soils with silt. Silty sand has a low dry material strength, becomes mucky during rain events, and ruts /potholes quickly. Clayey sand material is material which has greater than 20% clay and often times has 50% clay, nodules or clumps of clay intermittent within the sand. Material with 30% or more clay can become slick when wetted, hardens when dry to a compact surface or subgrade, and has higher dry strength than silty sands. Figure 1 shows the location at the north end of Ocracoke Island where materials can be stored. The material storage area is utilized by the state of North Carolina for dredge material storage, as well as the NPS for various types of material storage. The access road into the storage area includes some soft sand as well as compacted unpaved material. Most Off Road Vehicle (ORV) sand ramps and access routes are accessible only be four wheel drive passenger vehicles or heavy construction equipment suitable for off road purposes. 3.0 MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS The contractor will provide all technical support, materials, tools, equipment, and manpower required to provide the NPS with the following: BASE BID: Task 1: Provide product data (Gradation/Sieve Analysis) and sample submittal for sandy clay material to be provided.
