Toledo, OH Valve & Intake Inspection & Repair

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking small businesses to perform valve and intake inspection and repair services at their Toledo, Ohio facility located at the US Army Corps of Engineers property. The solicitation requires a comprehensive underwater inspection of an 8-inch diameter intake valve, including photo and video documentation, potential valve stem repair, and system flushing. Contractors must perform confined space diving to investigate why a valve won't close properly, with specific tasks including examining the valve stem, documenting findings, and potentially executing simple repairs. The contract will be awarded on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, with quotes due by February 28, 2025 at 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Interested firms must submit questions by February 26, 2025 at 11:00 AM, and a site visit is strongly recommended to be scheduled with Albert Sanford prior to the submission deadline.

The solicitation is 100% set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 561990 with a $16.5 million size standard, and the contract will incorporate Department of Labor Wage Determination 2015-4741. The period of performance is 60 days from award, with work anticipated to be completed in a single day once initiated. The project involves working at a location adjacent to the Toledo US Coast Guard Station, with precise technical requirements outlined in detailed government documents including a pipe extension drawing and specific schedule of work. Contractors will need diving capabilities, equipment for underwater inspections, and the ability to provide comprehensive reporting on valve condition and potential repair needs. The anticipated award date is March 15, 2025, with a firm fixed-price contract structure that includes potential optional line items for additional approved repair work.
