Good morning, my name is Connie Ferguson, I’m the Contract Specialist for this solicitation. I want to welcome everyone to the pre-bid site visit for the Hannibal Conductor Rail System Replacement here at the Hannibal Locks and Dam, in Hannibal, Ohio.

I am going to let the Government attendees introduce themselves.

We hope to improve your understanding of the Government’s requirement and to clarify any part of the solicitation that needs clarification. We will consider any constructive comments or recommendations that you make.

You are cautioned that any remarks made at this conference shall not qualify the terms of the solicitation unless the solicitation is amended in writing.

An amendment will be issued addressing the questions and concerns brought up today and will be posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website along with the list of attendees here today.

The one thing we will not do at this conference is to make any comment or opinion regarding your particular bid or approach that you may take for this requirement – this is up to you.

This is a sealed bid solicitation, with the intent to award a firm fixed price contract to a single bidder. Bids are due in the Pittsburgh District by 11 a.m. on Thursday, March 7, 2019, to the address shown in Block 7 on the SF 1442. The due date and time are located in Block 13 on the SF 1442. Bid bonds are required. This procurement is a 100% Small Business Set Aside under NAICS Code 238210, Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors.
