This Sources Sought Notice is being issued for market research purposes to determine the availability, capability, and interest of small business firms for a potential Government requirement. NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE; requests for a solicitation will go unanswered. No award will be made from this Notice. Responses will be used to determine potential acquisition strategies, understand current market capabilities, and to gain knowledge of potential sources.

GENERAL SCOPE:

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Sacramento District (SPK) anticipates a potential requirement to construct Folsom Dam Raise Dike 7 in Folsom, CA.

Dike 7 is an earthen embankment near the southern end of Folsom Reservoir that spans a steeply sloping saddle in the reservoir rim. The existing embankment has a crest length of about 930 feet long, a height of up to 38 feet, and an approximate existing crest elevation of about 482.84 feet, North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). The Folsom Dam Raise Project will raise the existing embankment at Dike 7 by approximately 3.5 feet to a nominal crest elevation of 486.34 feet, NAVD88. The raise will be achieved by placement of a reinforced concrete floodwall along the crest near the upstream edge. An aggregate surface course will be placed on the crest downstream of the floodwall as a road surface. Riprap and bedding will be placed along the upstream slope for wind-wave erosion protection. The reinforced concrete floodwall may be constructed using conventional cast-in-place methods or using a slipform methods.

To access Dike 7, the Contractor must use an existing temporary access road from Folsom Point Road at Dike 8 to the work site. The entrance prior to the temporary access road is accessed by other contractors requiring coordination to share the road and meet vehicle capacity restrictions during heavy recreation season. The Contractor will initiate a security program in coordination with Government's existing security procedures at job mobilization. Contractor personnel will need to obtain security clearances to access site without escort. Escorting duties will be the responsibility of the contractor. Maintain security throughout construction period until acceptance of work by the Contracting Officer.

The potential requirement may result in a firm-fixed-price Invitation for Bid issued approximately Mar/Apr 2025. If solicited, the Government intends to award the anticipated requirement approximately Aug/Oct 2025.

The Government estimates that construction of the potential requirement can be completed within 455 calendar days from receipt of Notice to Proceed. If market conditions indicate this estimate may be unrealistic, Respondents are encouraged to provide specific information (such as known equipment lead times or other timeline concerns) for Government consideration when responding to this Sources Sought Notice.

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 36.204(g) / Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 236.204(h), the Government currently estimates the magnitude of construction for the potential project is $5,000,000.00 to $10,000,000.00.

The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for the potential requirement is anticipated to be 237990, Other Heavy and Civil Engineering. The small business size standard for the NAICS, as established by the U.S. Small Business Administration, is $45,000,000 annual revenue. The Product Service Code for the potential requirement is anticipated to be Y1LC, Construction of Tunnels and Subsurface Structures / Y1KA, Construction of Dams.

If there is a reasonable expectation that at least two (2) responsible small business concerns under this NAICS can provide the anticipated services at fair market prices, the Contracting Officer is required to set the acquisition aside for small business concerns. If competition is set-aside for small businesses, FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, requires that general construction small business Contractors self-perform at least fifteen percent (15%) of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials. If no set aside is made, the requirement is competed with full and open competition, and the awarded Contractor is not a small business, the Contractor will be required to self-perform the percent of work identified in the solicitation under FAR 52.236-1, Performance of Work by the Contractor.
