Floatplane Dock Replacement Project Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge – King Salmon, AK

This is a Sources Sought Notice for the purposes of conducting market research and obtaining industry information ONLY. This is NOT a request for proposal, quotation, or bid, nor a synopsis of a proposed action under FAR Subpart 5.2. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated for providing information in response to this synopsis or on any follow up information. No solicitation is currently available. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) will use information obtained through this synopsis as well as other market research to develop an acquisition strategy.

Summary:

The USFWS is anticipating the solicitation and award of one firm fixed price alt repair construction contract. The work under this contract is expected to include, but is not limited to the following:

Demolish and dispose of the existing float plane dock and boat ramp then construct all components of the new float plane dock to include bulkhead, gangway, floating dock, grading, electrical, fuel tank, with an option to replace the boat ramp. This project is to be constructed per completed designs and specifications that will be provided at the time of solicitation.

The primary purposes of the Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge is to conserve fish and wildlife populations and habitats in their natural diversity including brown bears, the Alaska Peninsula caribou herd, moose, sea otters, and other marine mammals, shorebirds and other migratory birds, raptors including bald eagles and peregrine falcons, and salmonids and other fish.

The King Salmon Fish and Wildlife Campus uses a seasonal floating dock for water vessels and floatplanes. This floating dock is fixed to the shore on a permanent pier. The pier uses a driven steel pile foundation. The dock is fixed to the pier with the use of a rail system that allows horizontal restraint while allowing vertical movement along with the tidal flow. The dock end is also restrained with the use of underwater cable anchors in both the upstream and downstream directions. During the summer of 2018, the dock system failed during a storm event. The upper cable anchor failed, causing many of the dock segments to float downstream before being caught by the lower cable anchor. It is also apparent that the existing pier has some structural damage at the beam on the end of the pier.

The primary NAICS code for this acquisition will be 237990 - Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction and the size standard is $45 Million.
