- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY.        THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.    The North Cascades National Park Complex is researching the availability of sources for the:    (1)    rehabilitation of two suspension trail bridges,    and (2) the replacement of a third suspension trail bridge.      It is anticipated that two separate solicitations will be issued for which award will be made.      All three trail bridges are located within Ross Lake National Recreation Area of North Cascades National Park Complex in northern Washington State.    The rehabilitation work of the first two bridges consists of replacement of the existing timber towers with engineered steel towers and involves the erection of temporary towers, mainlines, and suspenders; replacement of existing timber suspender needle beams with steel beams engineered to carry the design loads; and replacement of the existing sway system with steel angle iron sway braces bolted to the new steel suspender needle beams.        Access is by boat, hiking, or horseback riding.      Boat access from the south end of Ross Lake at    Ross Dam requires coordination with Seattle City Light for barging services as there is no direct road access to the sites.      Access by boat can also be gained from the north end of Ross Lake by traveling through British Columbia, Canada and back to the US border at Hozomeen.        Access via hiking or horseback riding is at a distance of up to 16 miles.    The third suspension trail bridge requires replacement of a bridge that was washed away during a flood event in the fall of 2003.        Access is by hiking or horseback riding.      The trailhead is located at MP 130, State Route 20, at the Colonial Creek Campground South Unit.      The distance to the site is about 1-mile from the trailhead.      All trails for both solicitations are considered to be in remote backcountry areas.      Small gas powered hand tools and portable electrical power generators for hand tools are allowed.        It is expected that some materials will need to be flown in by helicopter.    Proposed contractors shall have at least 5-years experience in repair or construction of suspension bridge structures located in remote locations.      Contractors will be asked to provide information on a minimum of three bridge structures of a similar construction type which have been in service for at least 3-years.    The estimated value of the rehabilitation projects is under $250,000.        The estimated value of the replacement project is between $250,000 and $500,000.      Interested Contractors are asked to submit a brief statement detailing experience and qualifications to perform the work.      Interested Contractors are also asked to state whether they are qualifying 8a firms, HubZone firms, small or large business firms.        Submit information to Contracting Officer, Barbara A. Rolph, North Cascades National Park Complex, 810 State Route 20, Sedro Woolley, WA 98284, or to email address Barbara_Rolph@nps.gov no lated than March 5, 2004.
