SUBJECT:  Y1KB – Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan; Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetlands, L-31E Flow-way; Contract 5A (A Phase I Project): Pump Station S-705; Miami-Dade County, Florida

SOLICITATION NUMBER:  W912EP20R0031

RESPONSE DATE:  14 September 2020

CONTRACT SPECIALIST NAME & PHONE NUMBER:  Timothy Humphrey, (904) 232-1072

A Pre-Proposal Conference will be held on Wednesday, August 26, 2020 from 10:00am – 11:00am, Local Time via teleconference.  The call-in number is: 877-402-9753, the Access Code is: 6546236, and the SECURITY CODE is: 0031.  It is requested that an email be sent to Timothy.G.Humphrey@usace.army.mil to confirm attendance by your organization.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The BBCW Contract 5A covers the construction of Pump Station S-705.  The S-705 pump station has a capacity of 100 cfs and is located on the L-31E Canal at the intersection with the C-102.

S-705 will pump water into an L-31E Canal segment, south of C-102 and north of Military Canal.  The water in this segment will flow, through culverts, into wetlands east of the L-31E Levee.  S-705 will also feature a 72-inch culvert with a slide gate to pass flows for internal drainage.

The pump station will have manatee protective barriers, trash racks, and dewatering features, complete with stop logs.  The slide gate at S-705 will be operated by an electric-motor actuator.  Controls will be located in a stand-alone, precast concrete building adjacent to the pump station structure.  The pumps and gate will have remote operation capability.

Construction activities include installation of precast concrete, H-piles, king piles, sheet piles, concrete piles, precast concrete, cast-in-place concrete, tremie concrete, flowable fill, an HDPE culvert, a slide gate, precast, concrete, control buildings, pumps, pump platform, pump station controls, electrical work, lighting, lightning protection, fencing, excavation, backfilling, stockpiling, clearing and grubbing, grading, placement of topsoil, sodding, limerock road topping, riprap and bedding stone, installation of stilling wells, stilling well platforms, staff gauges and floating barriers. Additional construction activities may include dewatering, and installation of cofferdams.

In-water construction utilizing divers will be necessary, because of dewatering difficulty due to the local geology and high conductivity of the underlying limestone.

Soil borings indicate the presence of hard limestone within the project area.  Excavation of limestone may require large excavator with rock bucket.  Materials for embankment and backfill construction can be obtained from offsite sources provided by the Contractor and approved by the Contracting Officer or the Contractor can process the excavated material to meet the classification of satisfactory material for embankment fill and or select fill at no additional cost to the Government. 

PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS:

AWARD WILL BE MADE TO THE OFFEROR WHO SUBMITS THE LOWEST PRICED, TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE (LPTA) PROPOSAL. PROPOSALS WILL BE EVAULATED BASED ON TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY (DEMONSTRATED EXPERIENCE AND PAST PERFORMANCE) AND PRICE.

The performance period is approximately 675 calendar days after Notice to Proceed (NTP).

The Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued on or about 14 August 2020 and proposals will be due on or about 14 September 2020.

NAICS Code 237990, size standard $39.5 million.

Magnitude of construction is between $5,000,000.00 and $10,000,000.00.

THIS IS AN UNRESTRICTED ACQUISISTION.  ALL RESPONSIBLE OFFERORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The BBCW Contract 5A covers the design of Pump Stations S-703, S-705, a spreader system, and two recreational sites. The S-703 pump station has a capacity of 50 cfs and is located at the intersection of the C-102 and L-31E Canal. The S-705 pump station has a capacity of 100 cfs and is located on the L-31E Canal at the intersection with the C-102.

S-703 will pump water from the L-31E Canal/C-102 into wetlands, east of the L-31E Levee and north of the C-102, via a dissipation/spreader basin and an earthen spreader canal. S-705 will pump water into an L-31E Canal segment, south of C-102 and north of Military Canal. The water in this segment will flow, through culverts, into wetlands east of the L-31E Levee. S-705 will also feature a 72-inch culvert with a slide gate to pass flows for internal drainage.

The two recreational sites will be located east of the L-31E Levee and north of the C-102, near Biscayne Bay. Work will include construction of an information kiosk and two tent sites/pads.

The pump stations will have manatee protective barriers, trash racks, and dewatering features, complete with stop logs. The slide gate at S-705 will be operated by an electric-motor actuator. Controls will be located in a stand-alone, precast concrete building adjacent to the pump station structure. The pumps and gate will have remote operation capability.

Construction activities include installation of precast concrete, H-piles, king piles, sheet piles, concrete piles, precast concrete, cast-in-place concrete, tremie concrete, flowable fill, an HDPE culvert, a slide gate, precast, concrete, control buildings, pumps, pump platform, pump station controls, electrical work, lighting, lightning protection, fencing, excavation, backfilling, stockpiling, clearing and grubbing, grading, placement of topsoil, sodding, limerock road topping, riprap and bedding stone, installation of stilling wells, stilling well platforms, staff gauges and floating barriers. Additional construction activities may include dewatering, and installation of cofferdams.

In-water construction utilizing divers will be necessary, because of dewatering difficulty due to the local geology and high conductivity of the underlying limestone.

Soil borings indicate the presence of hard limestone within the project area. Excavation of limestone may require large excavator with rock bucket. Materials for embankment and backfill construction can be obtained from offsite sources provided by the Contractor and approved by the Contracting Officer or the Contractor can process the excavated material to meet the classification of satisfactory material for embankment fill and or select fill at no additional cost to the Government. Contract does not allow blasting within the construction limits.

SFWMD will be providing and installing the Remote Telemetry Units (RTUs) for this job for every pump station during the Operational, Testing, and Monitoring Period (OTMP).

Under the base contract, the RTUs are to be fabricated, installed, and tested by SFWMD during the OTMP.

Option A is the fabrication, installation, and testing of the Motorola Remote Telemetry Units (RTU) at pump stations S-703 and S-705.

Option B is the installation of point to point microwave Ethernet bridges from Homestead Field Station's 180-foot tower to pump station S-703, and from pump station S-703 to pump station S-705. Installation includes the CCTV / Network rack at pump stations S-703 and S-705.
