BORDER FIELD OFFICE BOAT DOCKS

STATEMENT OF WORK

BLM needs three boat dock systems that are designed for year-round use in cold-winter-climate regions, long lasting, sturdy, and stable, boat compatible, look good/similar, good for fluctuating water level, easily removable, and provide safety-minded access for persons with disabilities.

During our research we determined that pontoon docks would best serve our needs, or a similar dock design that provides the same benefits of a pontoon dock, as described below. This is due to our unique combination of year-round provided recreational access, often windy conditions, typically harsh weather/snowy winters, and often significantly fluctuating water levels, at each of the three project dock install location lakes. Fluctuating water levels occurs routinely because all three locations exist within the Lake Creek Drainage / Odessa Aquifer, the water level of which can be dramatically affected by climatic conditions annually, and from allowed agricultural aquifer drainage to water crops in a high-production wheat growing region. Climatic conditions often range dramatically from wet to dry, thereby influencing lake level changes both annually, and at different times throughout a given year. The decking of a pontoon dock is supported at the lowest level by a wheeled base. Above the wheeled base level, pontoons float on the lake surface, to support the dock decking at a set distance from the water surface, optimal for dock-to-boat safe access. As the lake level lowers and raises, the dock stays at the same orientation to the surface, at least for a range of vertical distance. Additionally, a pontoon dock is anchored via a cable system to an outlying anchor on the lake bottom well out beyond the end of the dock. This provides the dock with substantial stability. So, a pontoon dock combines stability with relatively little need to wheel it out as lake levels drop, and to wheel it back in again as water levels rise. Other than pontoon docks, the other standard dock types normally suited to small lakes, would be a floating dock, or a roll-in dock. By comparison, in potentially harsh winter climates such as at the project locations, floating docks would be recommended to be removed from the lake before winter, potentially disrupting recreational use seasonally. And, they are less stable in windy conditions, which makes it harder for boaters to tie up and move from dock to boat safely. And by comparison, roll-in docks do not offer the set-and-forget maintenance of a pontoon dock because it must be manually rolled lower or higher in the lake depending on its water level more often. With the low staffing levels, remote locations, and large geographic area supported by BLM Border Field Office staff, low-maintenance solutions are a critical need. Also, due to its lower level wheeled base, a pontoon dock remains a relatively easily removable dock by one staff person. The boat dock systems are needed in three locations: Coffeepot Lake, Pacific Lake and Upper Twin Lake. Aluminum construction is preferred as it is an industry standard for lightweight, weatherproof durability. Poly-fiber is preferred on decking since it is very durable and much less prone to tears and cuts than metal. Over time poly-fiber is much less likely to potentially lead to user injury, especially to bare-feet walking on the docks.

The contractor shall furnish all necessary management, labor, supervision, equipment, materials, transportation and any other incidentals to provide and install three (3) boat dock systems which each include two dock sections and an all access ramp. The contractor will install these boat dock systems at the BLM recreation sites designated on the attached maps with the following minimum (salient) specifications, or otherwise meet their minimum standards and accomplish their needed purposes as described above:

*All Responsive Quotes must provide the following checklist and check the appropriate box as it relates to your submittal:

Doesn’t Meet

Meets Exceeds Specification

1. Two (2): 8’ x 16’ dock sections welded on aluminum channel frame with durable, weather-resistant (preferably aluminum) ADA compliant double rail handrails on one side of each section.

a. Minimum 15-inch diameter cylindrical Marine aluminum pontoons with air-tight bulkheads. Minimum .90 thickness to run full length of each dock section, on both sides.

b. Decking surface to be poly-fiber reinforced non-skid porous* decking with minimum of 400 lb./square foot load.

i. For accessibility, holes no larger than ½ inch diameter

2. One (1) 4’ x 16’ all-access ramp (handicap accessible)

a. Decking surface to be non-skid porous* decking to match dock sections in style and color with a minimum 400 lb./square foot load.

b. For accessibility:

i. Holes no larger than ½ inch diameter (suitable for use of canes, crutches, wheelchairs).

ii. Assist float at hinge point with dock (provides improved floating dock stability) and

iii. T-plate or similar accessory to provide seamless dock surface where dock segments connect.

c. Ramps to be all welded, on aluminum channel frame with plastic non-skid porous* decking.

d. Two (2) 16’ x 42” aluminum double rail ADA compliant handrails, one on each side of the ramp.

All Docks and Ramps must meet the following characteristics

3. Deadweight cable system utilizing minimum 5/8-inch stainless steel cable, to provide needed anchoring stability and adjust for seasonal water level changes.

4. Minimum of two (2) solid side bumpers and four (4) corner bumpers per dock section.

5. Minimum of two (2) strong, non-rusting (preferably galvanized) reinforcing flexible connectors (preferably hinges) to secure connection of the two (2) dock sections.

6. Minimum of nine (9) aluminum fold-down safety cleats properly placed on each dock system.

7. Stainless steel fasteners throughout entire system.

8. Freeboard floating level at approximately 12 inches.

9. Each dock must include permanently mounted wheels on axles, with a minimum 24-inch diameter, for ease of seasonal removal.

10. All access polyethylene curbing with UV inhibitors for wheeled access safety perimeter in non-railed areas of the dock.

a. Curbing perimeter must be a minimum 3 inches wide x 3 inches tall and a maximum of 4 inches wide x 4 inches tall.

11. Minimum one-year basic limited warranty covering aluminum frame, flotation, and decking installation, plus a minimum one-year warranty for standard accessories, that state the Covered Products are warrantied against failure due to defects caused by material and manufacturing workmanship, under normal use from the date of installation.

Warranty will cover all costs associated with any repair or replacement of the defective part.

12. Shipment of repaired or replaced products can be at Buyer’s expense.

13. Installation of repaired or replaced products can be at Buyer’s expense.

*“Porous” decking refers to a flow-through deck surface that allows free movement of air and light. It allows for easier control of wasps and bees on the underside. And is less prone to ice build-up, and so is a safer surface for visitors during shoulder-season uses, given year-round allowed recreational use at the project sites.

(h) Notice. The HUBZone small business offeror acknowledges that a prospective HUBZone awardee must be a HUBZone small business concern at the time of award of this contract. The HUBZone offeror shall provide the Contracting Officer a copy of the notice required by 13 CFR 126.501 if material changes occur before contract award that could affect its HUBZone eligibility.
