The Bureau of Reclamation’s Missouri Basin Regional Office intends to solicit a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Yellowtail Dam Spillway, Tunnel Concrete Repair, Apron Protection, and Rockfall Protection System, which is located in south central Montana on the Big Horn River in Big Horn County, approximately one (1) mile west of Fort Smith, Montana. The RFP will be issued at https://beta.sam.gov under Solicitation No. 140R6021R0023.

The principal components of work include the following:

1. Remove and replace damaged portions of concrete along the crown of the spillway tunnel.

2. Construct a reinforced concrete slab on the spillway apron along the east side of the stilling basin, graded to drain into the river channel downstream.

3. Furnish and install a fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) grating system between the west stilling basin parapet wall and the adjacent cliff face.

4. Design, furnish, and install a rockfall protection system along the cliff face to the west and south of the spillway stilling basin.

In accordance with Part 15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, the Bureau of Reclamation intends to issue Solicitation No.140R6021R0023 on or around June 28, 2021. The close for acceptance of proposals is anticipated to be 40 days from the date the solicitation is actually issued. Proposals are expected to be submitted by electronic email to the Contracting Officer.

The estimated price range for this acquisition is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. Reclamation anticipates the set-aside for this acquisition to be Total Small Business. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 237990 Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, which has an associated Small Business Size standard of $39.5 million.

The overall period of performance is anticipated to be around 530 calendar days, whereby the number of calendar days allowed for actual onsite work will be limited due to coordination with spillway operational restrictions and powerplant considerations. The contractor who receives the award is required to commence work within 10 days of receiving the Notice to Proceed. The period of performance is inclusive of receipt and acceptance of all submittals by the Bureau of Reclamation, as well as final cleanup.
