PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Contractor shall provide all necessary labor, equipment, and materials to perform Rough River Axtel WWTP replacement. The primary scope of this work is the removal of existing 50,000-gallon capacity WWTP and surrounding perimeter fence and disposing of all materials associated with the removal of the WWTP to an approved off-site disposal facility in accordance with all state and local laws. At completion of removal of the existing WWTP the area will be prepped for installation of a series of septic tanks, pump tanks, and Aerobic Sewage Treatment Unit comprising the pretreatment system. The pretreatment system must be designed and installed such that pumps and tanks must fit within the footprint of the WWTP being removed. Treated effluent will enter a lift station, which will transport the treated effluent approximately 800-feet to a new drip irrigation disposal field. Select tree removal may be necessary along the 800-foot pump line corridor. Furnish and install the complete drip irrigation system with a new drip field located in the designated grassed area next to an overflow parking area. The drip field will require a new dose station to receive and supply the treated effluent to the drip field. New system capacity will be approximately 8,775 gallons per day peak/maximum.

All work shall be performed to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer.

NOTICE: The following information is provided for situational awareness and is not required to respond to this Sources Sought.

All contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (www.SAM.gov) prior to award of a contract. All proposed contractors are highly encouraged to review FAR Clause 52.232-33 Payments by Electronic Funds Transfer – System for Award Management, which indicates “All payments by the Government under this contract shall be made by electronic funds transfer (EFT).” Those not currently registered can obtain registration by going to the website http://www.SAM.gov. The process can usually be completed from 24 to 48 hours after submission. Contractors will need to obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (formerly DUNS number) for processing their registration. If you do not already have a Unique Entity Identifier, one can be obtained from http://www.SAM.gov. Refer to www.SAM.gov for information formerly found in CCR, EPLS, ORCA and FedReg. Please begin the registration process immediately in order to avoid delay of the contract award should your firm be selected.

ALERT: You must submit a notarized letter appointing the authorized Entity Administrator before your registration will be activated. This requirement now applies to both new and existing entities. Effective 29 April 2018, the notarized letter process is now mandatory on all CURRENT registrants at SAM who have a requirement to update data on their SAM record. The notarized letter is mandatory and is required before the GSA Federal Service Desk (FSD) will activate the entity's registration.

Effective 29 June 2018, vendors creating or updating their registration can have their registration activated prior to the approval of the required notarized letter. However, the signed copy of the notarized letter must be sent to the GSA Federal Service Desk (FSD) within 30 days of activation or the vendor risks no longer being active in SAM. Vendors can check whether an account is active by performing a query by their CAGE or Unique Entity Identifier The new registration process may now take several weeks, so vendors are highly encouraged to begin registering as soon as possible to avoid any possible delays in future contract awards. Remember, there is no cost to use SAM. To find out additional information about the changes of the SAM registration process, contractors should visit the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) link located at the top of the SAM homepage (www.sam.gov).
