This Sources Sought Notice is for Market Research ONLY to determine the availability, capability and interest of small business firms for a potential small business category type set-aside.

NO AWARD will be made from this Sources Sought Notice.

NO SOLICITATION, SPECIFICATIONS, OR DRAWINGS ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME as this is solely for Market Research. Please do not request such documentation. Requests for any of this information will go unanswered.

If the conditions at FAR 19.502-2(b) are met the contracting officer is required to set the acquisition aside for small business concerns. If set-aside, FAR 52.219-14, requires that for general construction the small business contractor will self-perform at least 15% of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials. Accordingly, interested contractors having the skill, capabilities, workload capacity and ability to obtain bonding necessary to complete the described project (either through self-performance and/or the managing of subcontractors) are invited to provide their capability statements to the point of contact listed below. All responses will be used to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy for a potential acquisition.

The purpose of this notice is to obtain a snapshot of current market capabilities and gain knowledge of potential small business sources to include small business in the following socioeconomic categories: Certified HUB Zone; Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Serviced-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB); Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) and 8(a) small business concerns to perform bridge repairs. Other than small business are encouraged to express interest and submit capability statements as well.

Contractors’ capabilities will be reviewed solely for the purpose of determining an appropriate acquisition strategy to include whether this prospective action is appropriate to be set-aside for the small business community or should proceed as an unrestricted full and open acquisition. Other than small businesses are encouraged to respond to this NOTICE to provide a greater context of current market capabilities. However, per the Federal Acquisition Regulations, preference will be given to the small business categories as listed above. In determining the acquisition strategy, the Government must ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of available contractors.

The Government estimates issuing a solicitation in June 2023.

The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract with a Period of Performance (POP) of 540 days from the notice to proceed.

In accordance with FAR 36.204(g) the estimated magnitude of construction is expected to be between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000.

The NAICS Code is 237310 (Highway Street and Bridge Construction). The size standard is $39.5 million. Product Service Code is Z2LB (Repair or Alteration of Highways, Roads, Streets, Bridges, and Railways).

GENERAL SCOPE:

The T-4, and T-7 vehicular timber bridges are located along White Rd at MOTCO and cross over tidal sloughs and wetlands along the southern shoreline of Suisun Bay. These bridges need repairs above and below the decks. Regarding the repairs above the deck, they are replacing the approach railings/end treatments, sealing pavement cracks, and replacing new AC pavement, relocating a fire hydrant, filling gaps around railing posts, and providing delineation markers plus pavement stripping. Repairs below the deck consist of removing deteriorated creosote-treated timber pile sections and replacing them with new sections of timber piling of treated wood preservative and reinforced external steel. Also, removing decayed wood, applying wood preservatives, and sealing timber voids must be performed. Filling voids under the existing concrete abutment are included as well.

The under the deck repairs must be performed by setting up temporary cofferdam or a similar device, dewatering, and if needed using a crane from above the deck only. The Contractor must follow the environmental permit requirements that will be specified in the drawings or specifications.
