(2) Contracting Requirements Overview: The scope of this project is to repair deficiencies to the Upstream Emergency Gate at Barkley Lock. The Government will stage and restrain the structure against wind loading prior to the Contractor beginning work. The Contractor will be responsible for furnishing all equipment, supplies, and labor to complete the rehabilitation of the structure. Work Items to be performed include removing the existing grating and cathodic protection system, blasting (including lead paint remediation), a visual inspection of the structure and associated mechanical components, weld repair, reinforcement of known structurally deficient members, replacement of grating, and recoating the structure. Barkley Lock is located on the Cumberland River in Livingston County, Kentucky.

a. Solicitation W912P519B0015 for Rehabilitation of the Emergency Gate at Barkley Lock in Grand Rivers, KY is a firm fixed-price construction contract with a base and four (4) options. This is a Full and Open Competition procurement.

NOTE: Since this is a Full and Open Competition procurement if the apparent low bidder is a large business, a subcontracting plan is required. In accordance with FAR 19.702, any large business must agree that small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns will have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in contract performance consistent with its efficient performance.

It is further the policy of the United States that its prime contractors establish procedures to ensure the timely payment of amounts due pursuant to the terms of their subcontracts with small business, veteran-owned small business, service disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns.

If the apparent low at the bid opening is a large business, a subcontracting plan must be submitted within two (2) calendar days of request. A subcontracting plan may be submitted with the bid; however, it is not required. Small businesses will not need to submit a subcontracting plan.

b. Basis for Selection of Award: Award shall be made to the lowest priced bidder who is determined to be responsive and responsible. See Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.214-19, Contract Award— Sealed Bidding—Construction, for more information. In accordance with FAR 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options, the Government intends to evaluate bids for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.

c. Options and Commencement: The solicitation has base and option line items in the bid schedule.

As stated in FAR 52.211-10, Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work, the base line items must be completed not later than 375 calendar days from Notice to Proceed.

The options shall be exercised in accordance with the following schedule to prevent any delays to the Contractor or time impacts to the overall duration:
