SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE FOR

SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION ATLANTIC

INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY DISPOSAL

AREA 60, ONSLOW COUNTY, NORTH

CAROLINA

This is a Sources Sought/Request for Information only. This is NOT a Solicitation Announcement, nor is it a Request for Proposal. This request does not obligate the Government in any contract award.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District, is conducting research to determine the market capabilities of po-tential contractors to perform a subsurface investigation for the purpose of collecting soil and strength parameters for the exist-ing dike and foundation soils to complete slope stability analysis for the existing dike foundation soils.

Disposal Area (DA) 60 is approximately 20 acres in size and located one and a quarter mile southeast of the NCWRC Cedar Point Boat Ramp, located in Cedar Point, North Carolina.

1. Description of Services. The Contractor shall mobilize all necessary personnel, equipment, and materials to DA 60, to conduct a comprehensive geotechnical investigation. Methods of investigation should accurately locate changes in the soil strata. Equipment shall be able to traverse the site in wet, soft, or dry conditions. The following subsurface exploration and laboratory testing services will be required.

Cone Penetration Test Sounding A total of eleven (11) CPT sound-ings shall be completed to a depth of 50 feet or refusal that occurs greater that 20 feet in depth, both within the crest of the existing dike structure, the interior of the existing dike struc-ture, and waterside toe of the DA to assess soil stratigraphy and engineering properties.

All work shall be completed in accordance with applicable safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements, and coordinated with USACE representatives throughout the duration of the investigation.

The Contractor shall be fully responsible for the transportation of all personnel, equip-ment, and materials to and from DA 60 for the duration of the geotechnical investiga-tion. DA 60 is only accessible by water ves-sel; therefore, the Contractor must make all necessary arrangements for marine trans-portation to support field operations. No land access is available.

2. Site Information. Site maps, navigation charts and bathymetric maps may be ac-quired from the Wilmington District, Navigation Section. Historical tide data can be acquired from the NOAA Tides and Currents website;

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/noaatid epredictions.html?id=8665728. Borehole coordinates will be provided by the Wilmington District for navigational purposes.

3. Water Vessel Requirements. All water-borne vessels shall be compliant with es-tablished US Coast Guard guidelines and regulations.

4. Field Work. As previously stated, this contract requires eleven (11) CPT soundings be conducted.

All interested firms with 541360 as an ap-proved NAICs code have until 6 November 2026 at 1500 ET to submit the following information:

- Name & Address of your Firm

- Point of Contact (Name/Phone/E-mail)

- Current SAM

- Business Size, to include designation as HUBZone, 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, Woman-Owned Business, and Large Business. Any support-ing documentation that confirms your so-cio-economic status should be provided, i.e., letter of certification from VA confirm-ing SDVOSB status. The Government must be able to verify SBA certification of HubZone and 8(a) via SAM.

- Evidence of capabilities to perform com-parable subsurface investigation work. The contractor must provide evidence of com-parable work on two (2) recent projects (not more than seven (7) years old.) Include the project name and description of the key/salient features of the project (comple-tion date, total contract value, and your company's level of involvement in the project, i.e., subcontractor (type), prime, GC, etc. and your specific role. Additionally, if you were teaming with another firm, clearly identify your role on the project(s) submitted. Please provide at least one point of contact (with e-mail address and phone number) for project validation. The Government will not give credit to projects if the lack of information hinders the ability to determine relevancy and/or level or experience.

- Documentation of a drill rig that can per-form CPT soundings as specified. The CPT equipment shall be pushed into the ground at a rate of 0.8 in/s. The CPT shall consist of a conical tip at the base of the rod for mea-suring the cone resistance and friction re-sistance every 0.8-inch interval. The cone shall have a base area of 1.6 in2, with a di-ameter of 1.4 in., and a height of 1.2 in., cor-responding to a 60˚ apex angle. The cone is attached to a friction sleeve having a diam-eter of approximately 1.4 in. The tip of the cone is typically instrumented to measure the tip resistance using strain gauges, while the sleeve above the cone is instrumented to measure the sleeve friction. These pa-rameters shall be used to obtain a profile of the variation of soil strength and soil type with depth. Additional instrumentation shall be attached to the cone to obtain ad-ditional data for correlation with other pa-rameters such as porewater pressure.

- Firm's capability to perform, to include ge-ographic span and project size.

- Information on Teaming Arrangement (if applicable). Although we are not looking for formal signed agreements at this time, if you intend to "team" with another firm, for-mally or informally, you must submit infor-mation, not more, than one (1) page, about your team's involvement. More specifically, you must submit sufficient information for the Government to determine the roles each team member will play and what your socio-economic status is or will be consid-ering the proposed arrangement.

Therefore, included in your one (1) page if you are a Small Business and you intend to mentor/protégé and/or JV with a large busi-ness both team members must sign agree-ing that 40% of the labor will be performed by the 8(a) firm. Additionally, if the team is a mentor/protégé arrangement, identify the areas that will be mentored. Any supporting documentation that confirms your socio-economic status as a team should be provided.

The Government may not give credit to your socio-economic class if there is not sufficient documentation to support it or if the Government cannot verify through other means that your business is as such.

Responses to this Sources Sought Announcement will be used by the govern-ment to make appropriate acquisition deci-sions. All interested businesses, regardless of size should submit a narrative demon-strating their Specialized Experience in sim-ilar type contracts, Past Performance, Key Personnel. Capability statements should in-clude size/classification of your firm, bond-ing capacity, details of similar projects, and the completion dates, references and con-tract amounts for the similar projects listed.

Narratives shall be no longer than 30 pages. The requested information shall be submitted electronically to:
