Synopsis or Description



THIS PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE IS BEING ADVERTISED AS A SMALL BUSINESS COMPETITIVE, DESIGN-BID-BUILD SOLICITATION.



THE GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO AWARD A FIRM-FIXED PRICE CONTRACT UNDER SOLICITATION/REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL N44255-12-R-3001, P-188 REPLACE FUEL PIPELINE AT NAVAL AIR STATION WHIDBEY ISLAND, WA.

The NAICS Code for the proposed acquisition is 237120. The size standard is $33,500,000.00. The Federal Supply Code is Z299.



Competition for this procurement is limited to eligible Small Business.



DESCRIPTION OF WORK: This is a design-bid-build project to construct a new 12†diameter steel underground pipeline covering 4.6 miles between fuel pier on Seaplane Base and Consolidated Fuel Facility tanks at Ault Field Naval Air Station. Following completion of the new pipeline two existing 60 year old pipelines (8†and 4†diameter) will be decommissioned per WA Department of Ecology requirements. The new pipeline also involves construction of a gravel patrol road (~1 mile) for pipeline observation over a portion of the route where the pipe is not under or near existing roadways.

The construction requires trenchless construction methods at 3 major roadway crossings. The work also includes a new pipeline leak detection system and a fiber optic communication system along the 4.6 mile route. The existing pipeline, built in 1954, continues to corrode, shedding rust particles into the fuel pipeline and posing an environmental risk of rupturing. Because the pipeline is varying sizes it can’t be internally inspected along the entire length. Previous external pipeline inspections identified areas of corrosion across the pipe length. As a result, operating pipe pressure has been limited increasing the frequency and duration of fuel barge deliveries. Lack of cathodic protection creates the potential for catastrophic environmental contamination.

Moreover, the pipeline is too small to support the fuel transfer rates from the fuel pier to the NAS storage tanks to meet operational requirements and efficient fuel delivery timeframes.
