WYAO Type 2 Inaccessible Bridge Exams

The Bureau of Reclamation's Wyoming Area Office is seeking a contractor to perform Type 2 Inaccessible Bridge Inspections on three bridges located at Bureau of Reclamation dam sites in Wyoming. The contractor must conduct comprehensive inspections of bridges at Alcova, Boysen, and Seminoe Dams using high-resolution photography and non-destructive testing methods such as repetitive sounding or ultrasonic techniques to examine areas that are typically inaccessible during standard inspections. Key requirements include employing a National Highway Institute (NHI) licensed bridge inspector, developing and implementing a safety plan for working at elevations of 30 to 50 feet, and delivering detailed inspection reports with maintenance recommendations for each bridge in compliance with Bureau of Reclamation Directive FAC-07-01. The government will evaluate quotations based on technical approach, past performance, and price, with the intent to award to the most advantageous offeror without discussions. Quotations must be submitted by email to Contracting Officer Natalie Oslund by August 29, 2025, at 11:00 AM EDT, and must remain valid for a minimum of 90 calendar days.

This solicitation is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 541330 (Engineering Services) with a size standard of $25.5 million, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. The contract will be structured as a firm-fixed price agreement with a performance period running from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, providing the selected contractor with a full year to complete the required inspections and reporting. The work involves inspecting exactly three bridges and producing three corresponding detailed inspection reports, with all inspection data to be submitted to the government. Performance will take place at the three Wyoming dam locations: Seminoe Dam, Alcova Dam, and Boysen Dam, where the contractor will need to access and inspect bridge structures positioned at heights ranging from 30 to 50 feet above ground level. Payment processing will be handled exclusively through the government's Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), and the contract includes specific wage determinations applicable to the project locations in Wyoming.
