Solicitation# 6913G621R200006 Amendment No. 0001

Part I

Q1. Would you be able to clarify if the Ranger III is going to need to use the dock between April 1 and July 31? If they do need to use it, how often and does the dock need to be clear of tools and equipment?

A1: After further consultation with the NPS/Isle Royale Management, the expectation is that the park will return to regular operations earlier than initially anticipated. As a result, the period of performance has been changed in order to allow unimpeded access for dock mooring operations during normal park seasonal operations. See Amendment 0001 Part 2 for changes to solicitation.

Q2. We have a volumetric concrete plant which means the products are mixed in an auger as the pouring takes place versus a large drum mixer. We have poured several projects on the island using this plant but I'm not able to determine if this plant is acceptable or not by reading the specs. Would you be able to clarify if we can use it for the project?

A2: The type of equipment used for mixing concrete on-site will have to be detailed in the work plan per 03 20 10 E.1. A volumetric concrete plant for mixing on-site should be acceptable as long as it meets the "Specification for Ready-Mixed Concrete", ASTM C-94. Specification 03 20 10 E.2 refers to the batch plant of the manufacturer of the ready-mixed concrete product.

SECTION C – DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

U.S. Department of Transportation

Installation of an Improved Dock Facility at Rock Harbor Isle Royale National Park

C.1 BACKGROUND

The Rock Harbor Ferry Dock on Isle Royale provides access to National Park Service (NPS) employees and visitors via ferry and seaplane. The dock is 210 feet long by 31 feet wide and can become congested from visitors and cargo loading and offloading. The largest ship currently using the dock is the Ranger III operated by the NPS out of Houghton, Michigan. The draft of the Ranger III brings the hull of the ship to, or near, the lake bottom at the dock. Dredging has been performed in the past to accommodate the draft of the Ranger III. Widening of the dock has been proposed to provide the following benefits:

1. Additional dock platform space would relieve congestion around the ferry’s cargo operations area and improve safety of departing and/or boarding passengers.

2. The dock platform would be extended toward the deeper water.

C.2 STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

STATEMENT OF WORK

INTRODUCTION

The Rock Harbor ferry dock on Isle Royale provides access for National Park Service (NPS) employees and visitors via ferry. The dock is 210 feet long and 31 feet wide. The largest ship currently using the dock is the Ranger III, operated by NPS between Isle Royale and Isle Royale National Park (ISRO) Headquarters in Houghton, MI. In certain conditions, the draft of Ranger III can be close to the available depth at the dock. . Furthermore, during boarding and cargo operations, the dock can become congested and visitor and staff safety can be compromised.

The Rock Harbor ferry dock currently consists of five stone-filled timber crib structures with a concrete cap. Each crib structure is approximately 42 feet long and 31 feet wide. The crib structures are framed with 12-inch by 12 inch by 12-inch by 8-foot long timbers and 2-inch by 12-inch timber sheathing (facing). The base and top of the crib structures have multiple rows of longitudinal 12-inch by 12-inch timbers stacked atop each other. The framing between the base and top alternates from longitudinal to transverse pieces and are secured by 7/8-inch diameter bolts with washers. There is a 30-inch tall by 1/4-inch thick steel plate at the water line on the east, west, and south sides secured to the dock with lag bolts, in place for ice protection. The crib structures are capped by an 8-inch concrete cap bordered by 8-inch by 8-inch timbers. The bottom of the south side of the dock has approximately two feet deep of 4-inch to 12-inch stone placed for scour protection, some of which has been undermined. Overall, the dock is in good condition and is serviceable. However, there are specific elements which may require repair or upgrade.

The Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) in support of the NPS has been tasked with a project to repair and enlarge the existing dock. Enlarging the dock will provide the following benefits:

1. Additional dock platform space would relieve congestion around the ferry’s cargo operations area and improve safety of departing and/or boarding passengers.

2. The dock platform would be widened toward deeper water.

H.3 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (DOT) CONTRACTOR

PERSONNEL SECURITY AND AGENCY ACCESS (NOV 2011)

The following definitions are provided:

"Agency Access" means access to DOT facilities, sensitive information, information systems or other DOT resources.

"Applicant" is a Contractor employee for whom the Contractor submits an application for a DOT identification card.

"Contractor Employee" means prime Contractor and subcontractor employees who require agency access to perform work under a DOT contract.

"Identification Card" (or "ID card") means a government issued or accepted identification card such as a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card, a PIV-Interoperable (PIV-I) card from an authorized PIV-I issuer, or a non-PIV card issued by DOT, or a non-PIV card issued by another Federal agency and approved by DOT. PIV and PIV-I cards have physical and electronic attributes that other (non-PIV) ID cards do not have.

"Issuing Office" means the DOT entity that issues identification cards to Contractor employees.

"Local Security Servicing Organization" means the DOT entity that provides security services to the DOT organization sponsoring the contract.

1. Risk and Sensitivity Level Designations - For contracts requiring access to DOT facilities, sensitive information, information systems or other DOT resources, the Contractor employees will be required to complete background investigations, identity proofing, and government identification card application procedures to determine suitability for access. DOT will assign a risk and sensitivity level designation to the overall contract and/or to Contractor employee positions by category, group or individual. The risk and sensitivity level designations will be the basis for determining the level of personnel security processing required for Contractor employees.

IF THE DESIGNATED RISK IS: THE BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION IS:

Low National Agency Check with Written Inquiries

(NACI)

Moderate Minimum Background Investigation (MBI) High Background Investigation (BI)

Contractor employees may also be required to obtain security clearances (i.e., Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret). National Security work designated "special sensitive," "critical sensitive," or "non-critical sensitive" will determine the level of clearance required for Contractor employees. Personnel security clearances for national security contracts within the U.S. DOT will be processed according to the Department of Defense National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM).

2. Pre-screening of Contractor Employees - The Contractor must pre-screen individuals designated for employment under any DOT contract by verifying minimal suitability requirements to ensure that only quality candidates are considered for contract employment, and to mitigate the burden on the Government of conducting background investigations on objectionable applicants. The Contractor must exercise due diligence in pre-screening all employees prior to submission to DOT for agency access. DOT may decline to grant agency access to a Contractor employee for reasons including, but not limited to:

a) Conviction of a felony, a crime of violence, or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude.

b) Falsification of information entered on forms or of other documents submitted.

c) Improper conduct including criminal, infamous, dishonest, immoral, or notoriously disgraceful conduct or other conduct adverse to the Government regardless of whether the conduct is directly related to the contract.

d) Any behavior judged to pose a potential threat to DOT facilities, sensitive information, information systems or other resources.

3. Citizenship and Alien Status - The Contractor must monitor an alien's continued authorization for employment in the United States. The Contractor must provide documentation to the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative during the background investigation process that validates that the E-Verify requirement has been met for each Contractor employee.

4. Background Investigation and Adjudication - The Contractor employee must have a favorable adjudication of background investigation before DOT will issue an ID card to the Contractor employee granting access to DOT facilities, sensitive information, information systems or other DOT resources. DOT may accept favorable adjudications of background investigations from other Federal agencies when applicants have held PIV cards issued by those agencies with no break in service. DOT may also accept PIV-I (interoperable) cards issued by an authorized PIV-I issuer as evidence of identity. A favorable adjudication does not preclude DOT from initiating a new investigation when deemed necessary. At a minimum, the FBI National Criminal History Check (fingerprint check) must be favorably completed before a DOT identification card can be issued. Each Contractor must use the Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) e-QIP system to complete any required investigative forms. Instructions for obtaining fingerprints will be provided by the COTR or CO. The DOT Office of Security, M-40, or a DOT organization delegated authority by M-40, is responsible for adjudicating the suitability of Contractor employees.

5. Agency Access Denied -Upon contract award, DOT will initiate the agency access procedure for all Contractor employees requiring access to DOT facilities, sensitive information, information systems and other DOT resources for contract performance. DOT may deny agency access to any individual about whom an adverse suitability determination is made. Failure to submit the required security information or to truthfully answer all questions shall constitute grounds for denial of access. The Contractor must not provide agency access to Contractor employees until the COTR or CO provides notice of approval, which is authorized only by the DOT Office of Security (M-40) or a DOT organization delegated authority by M-40. Where a proposed Contractor's employees are denied agency access by the Government or, if for any reason proposed applications are withdrawn by the Contractor during the agency access process, the additional costs and administrative burden for conducting additional background investigations caused by a lack of effective prescreening or planning on the part of the Contractor may be considered as part of the Contractor's overall performance evaluation.

6. Identification Card Application Process - The COTR will be the DOT ID card Sponsor and point of contact for the Contractor's application for a DOT ID card. The COTR shall review and approve the DOT ID card application before an ID card is issued to the applicant. An applicant may be issued either a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card that meets the standards of Homeland Presidential Security Directive (HSPD-12), or an applicant may be issued a non-PIV card. Generally, a non-PIV card will be issued for contracts that expire in six months or less, including option periods. The COTR may request the issuing office to waive the six month eligibility requirement when it is in DOT's interest for contract performance. The applicant must complete a DOT on-line application for a PIV card.
