CORPORATE BACKGROUND INFORMATION QUESTIONNAIRE

1. Synopsis.

a. The Naval Facilities Engineering Center (NAVFAC) Expeditionary Warfare Center (EXWC) has a potential requirement to establish and support a corrosion surveillance program at Naval Base Guam, Guam.

EXWC is conducting market research to determine the range of available contractors and assess their capabilities to support the Navy’s corrosion surveillance program on Guam; which would include: corrosion surveillance, corrosion mitigation, and corrosion repair of the naval construction equipment and support vehicles that have deteriorated (to various degrees) into a defective, damaged, or inferior condition because of corrosion.

2. Request For Information (RFI)

a. This RFI is issued solely for the purposes of obtaining information not readily available to the Government for planning purposes, in accordance with FAR 15.201(e). It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP for any particular supplies or services in the future. Furthermore, the Government is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party’s expense.

b. All interested parties (small, medium, and large businesses concerns) are invited to submit a response. In addition to the information requested by the Government, interested parties are encouraged to provide any other information they deem relevant.

Submissions should be limited to ten megabytes or less; and in a format compatible with Microsoft Office or Adobe PDF.

c. Information received in response to this RFI may be used to structure future solicitations, if your party chooses to submit any business sensitive, proprietary, or otherwise confidential information, it must be marked as proprietary or restricted data in the response. All responses received may be held for an extended period of time or destroyed. In no case will any responses to this RFI be returned to the originator or information submitted shared with any other respondents. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the market research, nor will the Government provide feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted under this RFI.

d. An award will not be made based on any information or offers received in response to this notice. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website and/or the System for Award Management (SAM) website. It is the responsibility of the

CSPG RFI, Attachment 1 v19-10-31 Page 2 of 5 potential Offerors to monitor those sites for additional information pertaining to this requirement.

3. Overview of Potential Work Scope

a. Location of Work. If implemented, it is anticipated at this time that some portion of the work would be performed at the Contractor’s facility and some on Naval Base Guam. Although subject to change, the following services will be required by the Contractor:

(1) Corrosion Surveillance. Corrosion surveillance is the systemic inspection of naval construction equipment and support vehicles at regular intervals with the intent to identify issues that may propagate corrosion, spot corrosion indicators, and report instances of active corrosion. This enables the appropriate corrective actions to be taken to mitigate corrosion at the earliest phase possible.

(2) Corrosion Mitigation. Corrosion mitigation are activities intended to prevent, lessen, and stop the spread of corrosion on naval construction equipment and support vehicles. This may include tasks such as washing vehicles and spot painting equipment.

(3) Corrosion Repair. Corrosion repair is the process of removing corrosion (and possibly replacing corroded parts) from affected areas of naval construction equipment and support vehicles, and restoring the affected areas to a pristine condition that is capable of meeting established inspection standards. Corrosion repairs would be performed in accordance with Original Equipment Manufacturer’s guidelines, established nationally recognized standards development organizations, and military standards.

b. Size of Scope. If implemented, the Contractor would be responsible for surveillance, mitigation, and repair of naval construction equipment and support vehicles. Currently there are approximately 600 individual pieces of naval construction equipment and support vehicles assigned to Naval Expeditionary Forces that potentially could be supported by the corrosion surveillance program.

c. Equipment Range. The following list is intended to provide a small sample of naval construction equipment and support vehicles that may be included in the corrosion surveillance program; it is not intended to be an all-inclusive list. Naval construction equipment is composed of a mixture of Civil Engineering Support Equipment (CESE), Material Handling Equipment (MHE), Weight Handling Equipment (WHE), a variety of support equipment. The exact make-up of equipment make, model, and type will change over time based on the needs of the Navy.

(1) Motor Grader (example: Caterpillar 120M)

(2) Excavator (example: John Deere 200CLC)

CSPG RFI, Attachment 1 v19-10-31 Page 3 of 5

(3) Forklift (example: Lift King 12k LK12000B)

(4) Forklift, Tele-handler (example: JLG 11k MMV)

(5) Loader, Skid Steer (example: John Deere 325JD)

(6) Loader, Track (example: Caterpillar 963D)

(7) Loader, Wheel (example: Caterpillar 924G)

(8) Dozer (example: Caterpillar D7G)

(9) Crane, Truck Mounted (example: Link Belt 40T HTC8640)

10. Truck Tractor (example: Navistar F-5070)

c. Corrosion Repair. Corrosion repair is the process of removing corrosion (and possibly replacing corroded parts) from affected areas of naval construction equipment and support vehicles, and restoring the affected areas to a pristine condition that is capable of meeting established inspection standards.
