Description

The National Park Service, Department of Interior, is soliciting proposals for construction firms having the capability to perform the work described below. A negotiated firm-fixed price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and a price proposal. Although price is a critical factor, technical capability of the firm will weigh heavily in the evaluation and selection process. There are two project sites: Park Headquarters and Pine Island, both located in Everglades National Park. The Park Headquarters water treatment plant is located near the main visitor center (approximately 12 miles southwest of Florida City). Pine Island is located approximately one mile southwest of the Park Headquarters water treatment plant along Pine Island Road. The nearest towns outside the park are Homestead and Florida City. The work of this contract consists of, but is not limited to, 1) the selective demolition and construction in three main areas: Headquarters Water Treatment Plant, Pine Island Water Treatment Plant and Pine Island Water Distribution Line. The technical qualifications of contracting firms submitting proposals for this project will be evaluated using the following capability criteria (in descending order of importance): 1) General experience in the coordination, construction, and commissioning of water and utility systems, including water transmission and distribution, wells, water storage and water treatment systems. If any of the above project elements are to be performed by subcontractors, provide the required documentation related to each experience factor for each subcontractor. 2) Experience and abilities in construction project management. This includes preparing and monitoring a critical path method (CPM) schedule for this type and size of project; coordinating all work (prime and subcontractors) to assure that it is completed in accordance with plans and specifications; providing cost control oversight to ensure all contract work is performed within budget; ability to assure efficient scheduling performance of the work by own forces, subcontractors, and material suppliers to meet the schedule completion date; and completion of punch list in a timely manner. 3) Ability to perform building and well construction, control systems, water treatment systems and utility work as identified in the plans and specifications while maintaining a continuous supply of potable drinking water during total renovation of water treatment plants and replacing water distribution systems. Summarize proposed methods to accomplish the work. 4) Experience working with local health departments, water management districts and environmental agencies relating to the installation of potable water wells, potable water treatment systems and water distribution systems. 5) Ability to comply with OSHA safety regulation and experience working in public locations as related to the work requirements stated in the plans and specification for this Project.
