Description

This SYNOPSIS for commercial items is prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL BE ISSUED. The solicitation number is 301812Q174 and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). This solicitation documents and incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-22. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 332311, with a small business size standard of 500 employees. All responsible sources may submit a quote which will be considered. PROJECT TITLE: Supply and Install a Pre-Engineered Metal-Framed Building over Raceways at Hiawatha Forest National Fish Hatchery (NFH), 21200 West Hatchery Road, Brimley, MI 49715, located approximately 40 miles SW of Sault Ste. Marie, MI. SUMMARY: The Contractor shall provide a steel-framed building to cover the existing raceways as described herein. The work involves all appurtenant work specified and shown on contract documents, including: all design, mobilization, demobilization, labor, materials, equipment, project coordination, restoration, and submittals required. Approximate building dimensions (135 foot wide, 214 foot long, and 18 foot eave height) are dependent upon actual location of buried water piping and placement of building columns on Contractor designed footing and foundations. The Contractor shall locate and size the building to avoid existing underground water piping. The building shall be placed over the top of existing fabric raceway covers, on an existing paved surface. The building shall provide a 4-foot minimum clearance around all existing raised concrete raceways. Interior columns shall not obstruct a 12-foot wide path between adjacent raceway structures (there is a 14-foot wide path which can be reduced to 12-foot to accommodate interior support beams). The building shall provide 14-foot interior clearance height throughout the interior of the structure. Building location and dimensions must be approved by the Government prior to ordering building-size-dependent materials. LINE ITEMS: The Contractor's quotation shall provide firm-fixed prices for each item as described. Line item 0001 - This item covers the primary structural framing and all associated work necessary for its erection, including but not limited to excavation for footings and foundations, construction of concrete footings and foundations, the primary structure, secondary structural components and bracing as needed, and installation and erection as specified. This item includes all galvanized framing and rust resistant fasteners. Line item 0002 - This item covers the building roof system, including but not limited to lap-seam roof panels, overhangs, ridge venting, roof accessories, installation and erection as specified. Line item 0003 - This item covers the building side-walls including: lap-seam wall panel systems, wall accessories, chain-link wire fabric and accessories, installation and erection as specified. Line item 0004 - This item covers the building end-walls including: lap-seam wall panel systems, door framing and door rough-in, wall accessories, installation and erection as specified. Line item 0005 - This item covers the end-wall located door and operators including: overhead doors, tracks, operators, and obstruction detection devices; walk doors and accessories; and installation as specified. SITE: All interested persons are encouraged to visit the site of the proposed work. Site access can be arranged by contacting the Hatchery Manager. The Hatchery Manager may be contacted at the above referenced address or by telephone at (906) 248-5231 or (906) 437-5231. Although the drawings indicate approximate locations and dimensions, the Contractor shall field verify exact locations and dimensions for all existing structures and utilities. Site verification is required in addition to contacting any local authorities and utility companies. Soils at the project site are sandy, cohesionless, and characterized by low friction angle and low compressibility. A presumptive allowable bearing capacity of 2,500 psf may be used for soils above the water table. No work will be permitted on the site during the fish spawning season of September 1st through January 1st. On-site work may be performed between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Work scheduled on Saturdays, Sundays, Federal Holidays or other than normal working hours shall be approved in advance by the Government. Public toilets at the Hiawatha Forest NFH may be used by contractor staff. Electrical power and potable water is available on site. INSTALLATION: Soon after award of the contract and prior to delivery of materials to the site, the Contractor and any subcontractors shall attend a pre-installation conference with representatives of the Government at the project site and shall provide the following items for review: progress schedule, subcontractor's list, quality assurance plan. The Contractor shall not begin material deliveries or installation until given "notice to proceed" in writing by the Government. Installation of building systems and door systems shall be performed by the authorized representative of the manufacturer. Means and methods used in the performance of this contract must be in accordance with all applicable Federal Acquisition Regulations in addition to OSHA regulations, acceptable industry practices as recognized by societies, associations, building codes, manufacturers' specifications and any applicable state safety and health requirements. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to obtain all necessary permits. The installation of manufactured products and equipment, together with all associated parts, shall be in conformance with the manufacturer's recommendations, and any applicable building code requirements. All installations shall be complete and ready for immediate use upon completion of work. Do not proceed with utility interruptions without the Government's written permission. Provide proper erosion-control measures. Provide temporary power sufficient to demonstrate operation of electric door openers. (Installation of permanent electrical service and lighting is not included in this contract.) All foundation grades must be compacted with suitable compactors capable of compacting to several feet below the surface. Subgrade of all excavations shall be tested to identify soft pockets and areas of excess yielding. Paint exposed surfaces of factory-primed personnel doors as recommended by manufacturer; Government will select from standard colors and finishes available. QUALITY CONTROL: Restrictive-sourcing is required for the building system, whereby components and accessories shall be from one manufacturer and ancillary materials shall be of quality and from sources acceptable to this manufacturer. This same restrictive-sourcing shall also apply to overhead door systems. Contractor shall engage a qualified independent geotechnical engineering testing agency to determine soil bearing capacities as the basis for foundation design and verify 93% compaction maximum densities of all fill and backfill according to modified Proctor - ASTM D 1557. Soil tests will be performed at the building foundation areas, at subgrade, and at each compacted fill and backfill layer, at least one test for every 1000 sq. ft. (186 sq. m) or less of footing area, but in no case fewer than three tests. All concrete work shall conform to ACI Standard Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete (ACI 318, latest edition). Ready-mixed concrete products complying with ASTM C 94 requirements for production facilities and equipment must be used. Contractor shall use qualified welding procedures and personnel according to AWS D1.4, "Structural Welding Code--Reinforcing Steel." All work must comply with the following: ACI 301, "Specification for Structural Concrete"; ACI 117, "Specifications for Tolerances for Concrete Construction and Materials"; Steel Reinforcing Bars, ASTM A 615/A 615M, Grade 60 (Grade 420), deformed; Low-Alloy-Steel Reinforcing Bars, ASTM A 706/A 706M, deformed. SUBMITTALS: For all manufactured products and installation assemblies, the Contractor shall submit four (4) copies of the following as applicable: product data, color charts, installation procedures, maintenance instructions, and shop drawings. Differentiate between manufacturer-installed and field-installed components and between components provided by the building manufacturer and those provided by others. The Contractor shall submit four (4) copies of all guarantees, warranties and certificates to the Government prior to final payment. The Government requires a 100% warranty of materials and workmanship for a minimum period of one full year after final acceptance.
