- Description
- I. Purpose: The purpose of the SIR is to seek competent and suitable sources for the subject project. Responses to the SIR shall be used to screen qualified companies. Screening information allows the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to determine which offers are more likely to receive award, and ultimately, which offers will provide the FAA with the best value. The FAA has appointed an Integrated Product Team (IPT) who will evaluate each response received and makes a selection of qualified offerors based on the evaluation criteria established in this SIR. The SIR evaluation process may involve face-to-face negotiations with one or more offerors. The intent of these negotiations are for the FAA evaluators, or IPT, to gain a better understanding of the proposed project and/or to clarify evaluation information submitted by the offeror. All offeror's that are eliminated from the competition will be notified in writing. Written responses to this SIR are due by close of business (4:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time) on July 25, 2006. THIS ACQUISITION IS NOT SET-ASIDE IN ANY MANNER II. Project Scope: Construction of foundations, steel truss towers and bridge, and catwalk to support a future Approach Lighting System (ALSF) for Runway 16R at Seattle Tacoma International Airport, Seattle, Washington. The structural steel will include several support towers up to approximately one hundred twenty feet tall, a continuous catwalk approximately 1400 feet long with five catwalk trusses having free spans of 300 feet to be erected over a stream and associated wetlands area and over the State Route 518 freeway. One end of the span will be constructed on top of an earth embankment behind an MSE wall, and the other end will be constructed in the SR 518 Right-of-Way, between freeway lanes and an off-ramp. Cast in place concrete includes foundations for all structures. The work includes temporary erosion and sedimentation control, site clearing and restoration, access road construction or improvement, excavation and backfill, drilled concrete shaft foundations, cast in place reinforced concrete, and furnishing and erecting hot-dipped galvanized structural steel. Special project procedures will be required to ensure security and safety while working near an active airport. Work at and over South154th Street/South 156th Way and over and near State Route 518 may require work to be scheduled for unusual hours.
