THIS PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE IS BEING ADVERTISED AS AN 8(a) COMPETITIVE, DESIGN BUILD SOLICITATION.

THE GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO AWARD A FIRM-FIXED PRICE CONTRACT UNDER SOLICITATION/REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL N44255-09-R-7003, P-236, ARRA - REPLACE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AT NAVAL AIR STATION WHIDBEY ISLAND, WA. The NAICS Code for the proposed acquisition is 237110. The size standard is $33,500,000.00. The Federal Supply Code is Y299.

Competition for this procurement is limited to eligible 8(a) firms located in Region X which includes the states Washington, Idaho, Alaska, and Oregon and 8(a) participants in good standing serviced by a SBA office outside the states of Washington, Idaho, Alaska, and Oregon but having a Bona fide branch office in the states of Washington, Idaho, Alaska, and Oregon. A Bona fide branch office is a place of business for purposes of 8(a) construction procurements located where an 8(a) Participant regularly maintains an office which employs at least one full-time individual within the appropriate geographical boundary. The term does not include construction trailers or other temporary construction sites. The SBA has assigned the number 1013-09-903933 for tracking purposes of this contract requirement.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK: Project will replace asbestos cement water distribution lines on Ault Field, Seaplane Base and provides lines connecting the two bases with new ductile iron water lines up to 18 inches in diameter. The water lines outside of Government Property will run on City of Oak Harbor and Island County property via franchise agreements or easements. Existing lines will be plugged and abandoned in place except where limited removal is required to accommodate new line connections. Project will be a design build construction contract. The design phase will require a detailed design (plans, specs, engineering analysis, etc.) for the water line replacement. Design will also be required to coordinate with Navy plus the City and County agencies regarding work on their property. Design will be required to minimize outage while constructing near the existing asbestos cement water lines and some old cast iron lines which are fragile. Design will require ultrasonic f! ield survey for underground obstructions before excavation plus a flow analysis to model performance and validate the proposed new water main sizes. Most of the pipeline areas are within developed Base or City areas so traffic control will be involved. Surface restoration required will often be roadway along with some sidewalks or turf.
