About this file
This document contains Questions and Answers related to a federal contract opportunity for Chatfield Spillway Inspections (Solicitation Number W9128F24Q0072). The contract requires the contractor to provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, and other services necessary to clean and inspect the spillway sub-drains and collector pipes. Key details include:
The government will allow the contractor to use water from the stilling basin at the toe of the spillway as the water source and has provided two disposal sites for material collected from the underdrain system flushing and cleaning. While a previous inspection report and video are available, the contractor must request these materials separately and not use them as templates, as the current scope differs. The solicitation is structured as a price proposal, with factors for past performance and price to be evaluated. Offerors are required to submit a price worksheet and acknowledge any amendments, but a separate technical proposal is not needed. The primary NAICS code is 541990 - All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, with a $19.5M size standard for small businesses. The contract has a period of performance of 365 days from date of award.

Questions and Answers
21 August 2024

1. Question: Do you have a water source available for use for flushing?
Answer: The Government will allow the Contractor to use water from the stilling basin at the toe of the spillway as the water source for the flushing and cleaning of the underdrain system. The Contractor must provide their own pumps and power source to obtain the water from the basin for their use, at their own cost.
2. Question: Do you have a disposal site?
Answer: The Government has two disposal sites for the Contractor to deposit the material collected from the underdrain system from the flushing and cleaning operation.
Depending on the volume of the material collected and the Contractor’s workflow, the
Contractor will be directed to deposit the material at either, or both locations while work is underway. The Government anticipates that the collected material will be limited to sand, gravel, and sediment. Maps are attached and are described as Disposal Site A, and
Disposal Site B. (See Disposal Site documents uploaded as separate documents)
3. Question: Does the USACE have an estimated value range for this project?
Answer: This project is a commercial service so an estimated range of construction for this project will not be provided.
4. Question: Does the owner have any test reports, video, or other data from past inspections?
Answer: The contractor must request a copy of the report and video from a 2014-2015 inspection of the Chatfield Spillway Sub-Drainage System to Nadine Catania and Wayne
Weidenhamer at Nadine.L.Catania@usace.army.mil and
Wayne.C.Weidenhamer@usace.army.mil, respectively. The report and video will be provided via another platform and the report and video must be deleted before the due date of this solicitation. For clarification, this inspection report and video is for information only and the solicitation for the Chatfield Spillway Inspections will require the system to be cleaned out and obstructions removed so the entire system can be inspected. Since the scope of this project differs from the previous inspection at
Chatfield, the report and video should not be used as templates for this current contract.
5. Have a question on the submission, it states in the Solicitation the following: “The proposal shall consist of one (1) pdf document not to exceed ten (10) pages with a cover page, the price worksheet, and acknowledge any amendments.” Does the Reps & Certs count as part of the 10 page count?
Answer: Please see Amendment 0001, which removed this section from the Instructions to Offerors. Reps & Certs will be pulled from SAM by the government upon receipt of offer.

6. I believe this Solicitation is a price but I am little confused on the Submission Content.
# (4) All required technical, past performance, and price factor information as stated in
FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items. Since the solicitation is asking for Price worksheet and acknowledgement of amendments. Are you looking for a separate
Technical Proposal as well with past reference as stated in FAR 52.212-2? Or is this strictly a Price Proposal? Can you please clarify.
Answer: The Instructions to Offerors provides a list of the documents for offerors to include in their quote. FAR 52.212-2 states the government shall use the factors to make the determination on the offer that is most advantageous to the Government. The factors used to make this determination is Factor 1 – Past Performance and Factor 2 – Price. If the quoter fails to provide any of the information stated in Factors 1-2 above, the government may determine the quote to be unacceptable.
