INFORMATION TO BIDDERS

1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Craney Island Dredged Material Management Area (CIDMMA) is a confined upland dredge material placement site located in Portsmouth, Virginia; adjacent to the Port of Hampton Roads. The work consists of replacing the existing land-based steel and concrete Spillway #1 with a new free-standing steel frame Spillbox #1 at CIDMMA in Portsmouth, Virginia. The CIDMMA spillways support removing clarified water from the facility to meet state water quality standards. The partial demolition of the existing spillway, outfall pipelines, and the construction of the new spillway must be synchronized to ensure the existing spillway remains functional until the new spillway is working as its replacement.

All work will be contained within the CIDMMA boundaries including soil material borrow sites. The outfall pipeline and spillway work shall be performed by earth moving, hauling and placement equipment and steel structural raising equipment. Construction techniques and equipment must accommodate soft and saturated subsurface and surface soil conditions which are highly susceptibility to rapid and long-term settlements under instantaneous and sustained loading conditions that are often related to changing water levels. The contractor is responsible for dewatering all work sites. Materials to be used from the designated borrow site shall be excavated and mixed to meet contract requirements. Fill materials to be used for construction shall be tested to ensure minimum contract requirements are satisfied prior to transport of material to the project site. The contractor will be responsible for surveys and associated documentation for planning, progress billings, and final as-built drawings.

The contract will include grubbing and clearing of dike areas to be excavated; and hydro seeding of all disturbed and new work areas after construction is complete.

(3) Waive informalities or minor irregularities in bids received.

5. AWARD TO RESPONSIBLE OFFEROR:

The apparent low bidder will be required to submit project information to establish that it meets the following Definitive Responsibility Criteria (DRC) within 24 hours of bid opening. Failure to provide the DRC information may result in a negative responsibility determination that will render the bidder ineligible for award. The DRC are specific and objective standards established by an agency as a precondition to award which are designed to measure a prospective contractor’s ability to perform the contract. In order to be found responsible, the apparent low bidder must demonstrate their past experience with defined work criteria. The criteria are listed below.

Definitive Responsibility Criteria (DRC) are specific and objective standards established to inform the Contracting Officer’s responsibility in accordance with FAR 9.104-2. These criteria are in addition to the criteria in FAR 9.104-1 and allow the Contracting Officer to assess whether the apparent low bidder can demonstrate the expertise and specialized capabilities needed for adequate contract performance. The inability of a contractor otherwise eligible for award to demonstrate minimally acceptable experience as measured by the DRC may result in the Contracting Officer determining the contractor is not responsible.

The submission responding to the DRC must be provided in the form of a written detailed narrative, with a page limitation that shall not exceed three (3) pages for each listed DRC. A submission will only be required from the apparent low bidder and must be submitted within three business days of the bid opening.

8. PREAWARD SAFETY CONFERENCE:

a. Where an apparent low bidder, in performance of contracts during the previous three-year period, incurred one or more accidents, or where, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, there is any question regarding this compliance with any safety or accident prevention requirement, such bidder, on request of the Contracting Officer prior to any award under this solicitation, shall attend a conference with representatives of the Contracting Officer to discuss any such accidents or non-compliance, the reason for their occurrence, and measures which will be taken to preclude any recurrence thereof.
