E-MAIL: Cheryl Allen, cpallen@fdcclant.uscg.mil. The U. S. Coast Guard is considering whether or not to set-aside an acquisition for the Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) concerns only. The estimated magnitude of this construction project is between $500,000.00 and $1,000,000.00. The applicable Standard Industry Classification (SIC) Code for this acquisition is 1629 and the small business size standard is $17 Million. The acquisition is for Station Pensacola Seawall at USCG Station Pensacola, Pensacola, Fl. The scope of the project consists of demolishing an existing caisson, constructing a concrete sheet pile seawall, erosion protection and timber dolphin piles. Other demolition includes removing submerged collapsed concrete sheet piles with concrete cap, and a temporary wooden wall. Existing caisson consists of concrete sheet piles, gravel fill and concrete cap. The new seawall is supported by precast concrete battered piles. Underwater erosion protection consists of concrete filled fabric forms. Work includes a base bid item and four additive bid items. At the present time, the acquisition is expected to be issued under full and open competition procedures. However, in accordance with FAR 19.1305, if your firm is HUBZone certified and intends to submit an offer on this acquisition, please respond by e-mail to cpallen@fdcclant.uscg.mil. In your response include: (a) a positive statement of your intention to submit a bid for this solicitation as a prime contractor; (b) evidence of experience in work similar in type and scope to include contract numbers, project titles, dollar amounts, and points of contacts and telephone numbers; and, (c) a positive statement of your remaining bonding capability. Your response is requested by 07 July 2000. All of the above must be submitted in sufficient detail for a decision to be made on availability of interested HUBZone concerns. Failure to submit all information requested may result in a contractor not being considered as an interested HUBZone concern. A decision on whether this will be pursued as a HUBZone small business set-aside or on an unrestricted basis will be posted on the Electronic Posting System (EPS) web site.
