Proposed Solicitation Issue Date: March 10, 2010, with due date for receipt of proposals being April 9, 2010 (tentative). Title of Project: "Structural Steel Repair/Lead Paint Abatement on Primary Elevator Shaft." Drawings indicate "Elevator Repair" Description: This project will restore lost structural integrity by replacing the steel supporting the interior of a 53 year-old passenger elevator shaft at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in Eddy County, New Mexico. Project work includes replacement of 163 sections of heavily-corroded structural steel framing, some of which are covered with rust and lead based paint debris. Lead paint abatement will occur as part of the work on some of the structural steel. Most of the support beams inside the elevator shaft will be replaced with new galvanized steel members. Other components that will be replaced and/or repaired are wall anchors, guide rails for the elevators, rail clips and cross bracing. All work will be performed inside an existing 750 foot limestone elevator shaft with limited access only at the top and bottom of the shaft. Park visitation will continue during construction, therefore the contractor will be required to comply with regulations on building access, noise control and other environmental constraints to encapsulate the lead dust and other construction debris. The contractor will be required to provide air containment materials and procedures to avoid introducing air-borne contaminants into the cave. A large parking area adjacent to the Visitor Center building will be available to the contractor for staging, storage of materials and a contractor office trailer. The existing elevator cabs will be lowered to the bottom of the shaft prior to commencement of work. Access to the elevator shaft for lowering the beam sections will require navigating corners and changing direction with steel sections while they are suspended. Transportation of equipment, materials and laborers shall be accomplished via work platform that can travel the height of the shaft. The plan dimensions of the shaft are approximately 11 feet by 17 feet, which will be occupied by two elevator cabs (at the bottom) and the supporting steel, counterweights (at the top), hoist cables and anchorages. The existing elevator hoist cables, cabs and hoist machinery will be left in place during the construction period. Removal of existing steel will require contractor to chip existing beam ends from grouted beam pockets in the limestone shaft. The steel to be removed from the elevator shaft shall be hoisted to the top of the shaft opening and be removed without damaging surrounding elevator cables, electrical controls and other building components or cave features. The steel to be removed may be cut for handling. Recycling of the steel will be required. Since the contractor will be working inside an elevator shaft, fall protection and compliance with OSHA standards will be required. New beams will be re-grouted into existing beam pockets and new wall anchors may require drilled or grouted connections to reconstruct the wall anchor assembly. At the end of the project, the contractor will be required to re-align the existing guide rails that support the two counterweights and the two elevator cars. A certified elevator inspector will be required for this portion of the work. Pre-Proposal Conference/Site Visit: An organized pre-proposal conference/site visit will be held on March 24, 2010. Exact meeting place and time will be identified in the solicitation documents. SPECIAL NOTE: Offerors desiring to view the elevator shaft from on top of the elevator cab, will be required to wear hard hats, steel toed boots, and have appropriate/adequate fall protection. Offerors will be required to provide these items themselves. Type of Procurement: A negotiated firm-fixed price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and a price proposal. The government will consider an offeror's technical capability in comparison to its price. Estimated price range: $4,500,000.00 - $5,500,000.00. Time for completion: Completion date is March 15, 2011 (tentative). The full construction Notice to Proceed will be issued on September 13, 2010 (approximately). An administrative Notice to Proceed will be issued approximately 90 days prior to that in order to begin steel fabrication and work on other submittal requirements. Proposal receipt date is approximate; actual date will be established at the time proposal documents are available. All responsible sources may submit an offer that will be considered. It is the policy of the Government to provide maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns. Such concerns must also have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate as subcontractors in the contracts awarded by any executive agency, consistent with efficient contract performance. All offerors, (large or small) are strongly encouraged to contact their local Small Business Administration office, to post their need for qualified subcontractors on SUB-Net accessed at http://web.sba.gov/subnet/, and to utilize the Central Contractor Registration's (CCR) Dynamic Small Business Search for potential subcontractors within these various socio-economic categories. In order to be considered for award, all large businesses will be required to submit an acceptable Small, HUBZone Small, Small Disadvantaged, Women-owned, Veteran-Owned Small Business Subcontracting Plan with their proposal. The NPS will not accept a Small Business Subcontracting Plan that does not guarantee that a minimum of 10% of the total contract value will be subcontracted to small business, which will be monitored and enforced during construction performance. The NPS subcontracting goals for Fiscal Year 2010 for the participation of small businesses at a minimum are as follows: Small Business Concerns - 19.5%; Small Disadvantaged Business Concerns - 3%; Small Women-Owned Business Concerns - 5%; HUBZone Small Business Concerns - 3%; Veteran-Owned Small Business Concerns - 3%; Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Concerns - 3%; 8(a) concerns - 2.5%. Small Disadvantaged Business and HUBZone firms must be certified in accordance with solicitation clauses 52.219-8 -- Utilization of Small Business Concerns and 52.219-9 -- Small Business Subcontracting Plan (status of firms can be found on CCR's Dynamic Small Business Search).
