Work activities will include borrow area preparation for the purpose of dewatering saturated materials for future use, excavation and reclamation of dredged material from prepared borrow areas, transport of reclaimed and borrowed materials, and construction of site improvement infrastructure projects with the material. The infrastructure projects on CIDMMA that may be built include, but are not limited to:

1. Construction and maintenance of containment dikes and division dikes to a compaction performance standard with incremental vertical lifts of material.

2. Construction of access roads within containment cells at CIDMMA.

3. Construction of spillway foundation pads.

4. Placement of reclaimed material as overburden for the purpose of consolidation of saturated materials.

5. Placement of reclaimed material as stockpile.

6. Excavation of saturated dredged material from around and within existing spillways for the purpose of maintenance of spillway components and structures.

7. Excavation and maintenance spillway effluent discharge pipes, outfalls, and aprons.

8. Shoreline Riprap Installation and Repair.

9. Steel and Concrete Repair.

Contractor shall be responsible for before and after topographic surveys by acceptance areas. All reclaimed material for the earthwork site improvements will be government supplied from on-site borrow sources. Total material volume is not expected to exceed 200,000 cubic yards per task order. Construction techniques and equipment must accommodate soft and wet subsurface and fill soil conditions with high susceptibility to rapid and long-term settlements under instantaneous and sustained loading conditions.

Construction Time

The anticipated solicitation issuance timeframe will be in July 2020. The estimated award timeframe will be in September 2020.

Services to perform this work will be procured through an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite

Quantity (IDIQ) Contract which will be a three year contract. Task Orders under the IDIQ contract will be issued in accordance with site improvement needs. The total contract award will not exceed $15M for the three year contract. The construction period of performance will vary depending on the task order. The official synopsis citing the solicitation number will be issued on the System for Award Management website (Beta.Sam.gov) which will invite firms to register electronically to receive a copy of the solicitation when it is issued.

Definitive Responsibility Criteria

This requirement will use Definitive Responsibility Criteria (DRC) which are specific and objective standards established to inform the Contracting Officer in accordance with FAR

9.104-2. These criteria will be used to assess whether the apparent low bidder can demonstrate the expertise and specialized facilities needed for adequate contract performance. The inability of a contractor otherwise eligible for award to demonstrate minimally acceptable experience as measured by the DRC may result in the Contracting Officer determining the contractor is not responsible.

Potential Definitive Responsibility Criteria will be developed to assess the following work items:

1. Construction and Earthwork

2. Steel and Concrete Repair

3. Shoreline Riprap Installation and Repair

In accordance with FAR 36/DFARs 236, the estimated construction price range for this project is between $10,000,000.00 and $25,000,000.00. NAICS Code 237990 applies with a small business size standard of $36.5 million.
