State Parks Project – Floating Pumpout Station Pile Installation at Sucia Island State Park

The State of Washington Department of Parks and Recreation is seeking qualified contractors to procure and install two galvanized steel piles (ASTM A252 Grade 3, 16-inch diameter) for a floating pumpout station at Sucia Island Marine State Park in San Juan County, Washington, with installation of an owner-furnished aluminum floating pumpout barge. The scope of work encompasses all materials, labor, and equipment necessary for pile procurement and installation, rock socketing with minimum 10-foot bedrock embedment, marine mammal monitoring, marbled murrelet monitoring, construction surveying, and protected species monitoring suspension activities. The piles must be installed to tip elevations of -52.0 feet MLLW with cutoff elevations at +16.0 feet MLLW, and the project requires design compliance with IBC and ANSI/AISC 341 standards, including structural loads of 100 psf uniform and 400 lb point loads on deck surfaces, 30 psf snow load, 104 mph design wind speed, and wave loads of minimum 250 lb/ft with 2.5-foot significant wave height. Bidders must submit detailed cost breakdowns, contractor qualifications, equipment specifications, project timelines, and licensing information through the MRSC Bonfire Procurement Portal at https://mrscrosters.bonfirehub.com/portal by June 16, 2026. Required qualifications include demonstrated marine pile installation expertise, ability to perform construction surveying, capacity for environmental and protected species monitoring, and compliance with all federal and state prevailing wage requirements. The bid proposal form establishes the pricing structure and submission requirements, and contractors must submit 15 business days prior to commencing work their survey control information, drilling and rock socketing plans, and pile logs for state approval. Bid submissions will be evaluated based on contractor qualifications, equipment capabilities, cost competitiveness, and compliance with technical specifications and environmental protection standards.

The procurement includes mandatory federal compliance requirements, including non-collusion certifications, federal eligibility verification through SAM.gov, anti-lobbying disclosures for contracts exceeding $100,000, domestic preference compliance requiring domestic components to exceed 55% of total cost for manufactured products under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and dual prevailing wage requirements under both Davis-Bacon Federal standards and RCW 39.12 Washington State standards with payment at the higher applicable rate. Bidders must provide socioeconomic certifications ensuring minority businesses, women's business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms receive equitable subcontracting opportunities, and must develop an Inadvertent Discovery Plan for potential archaeological materials. A bid bond of 5% of the total bid amount is required for proposals exceeding $35,000, with no bid bond required for bids at or below $35,000; bid bonds for the three lowest bidders will be retained for 30 days or until contract execution, while others will be released within 15 days of bid opening. The contract requires a 60-day acceptance period from bid opening and establishes a 15-day deadline for the successful bidder to execute the contract and provide a performance bond. No specific incumbent vendors are identified in the procurement documents, and the project requires integration with the owner-furnished aluminum floating pumpout barge featuring a 3,000-gallon holding tank capacity and manual sewage pumps. Budget information for the award value is not explicitly stated in the available documentation, though all cost proposals must be itemized with specific line items for pile procurement, pile installation, monitoring services, surveying, and related materials and labor.
