ARIMD Heavy Metals Mitigation

*****************************************MODIFIED***************************************** This Sources Sought notice has been modified to extend the due date for responses. Contractors that previously responded are not required to resubmit. *****************************************MODIFIED***************************************** This is a SOURCES SOUGHT notice to determine the capabilities of the business community for acquisition planning purposes, to include small business set-aside decision making. If your firm is interested in this project please respond appropriately. This notice does not constitute a solicitation announcement, nor does it restrict the Government to an ultimate acquisition approach. No solicitation or technical scope of services is available at this time. The Government will use the responses to this SOURCES SOUGHT notice to make acquisition decisions. Small businesses are strongly encouraged to review this SOURCES SOUGHT and submit according to the directions in this notice. A Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) with an ordering period of five years is anticipated with an expectation that over the life of the contract the interior of approximately 600 U.S. Army Reserve facilities throughout the US and its territories will be evaluated and remediated for heavy metals contamination resulting from present and past uses. The capacity of this MATOC is estimated to be $245 million. It is anticipated that task orders may be issued on an annual basis per region, as identified in the region breakout shown below. The applicable NAICS code is 562910, Environmental Remediation Services. The U.S. Army Reserve owns and leases hundreds of properties throughout the U.S. and territories. At various points in their lifetimes, the properties have been used for indoor firing ranges, equipment maintenance, and other uses that have caused heavy metals contamination. The magnitude of the contamination in each facility is not known. Investigation is required to determine the nature and extent of the heavy metals contamination and abatement or cleaning needed in the portions of the buildings where contamination is detected above regulatory limits. Abatement is needed where current and future activities do not generate heavy metals and therefore re-contamination is not expected. Cleaning is needed where current and future activities are expected to continue to generate heavy metals, and therefore recontamination is likely. All interested Small Business, certified HUBZone, 8A, Woman-Owned Small Business or Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business contractors should respond to this SOURCES SOUGHT via email no later than 19 September 2023 at 02:00 PM Eastern Time. The following requests are designed to inform the US Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District, of any prospective small business indoor environmental abatement services capabilities. Please provide your responses to the following questions. The submission is limited to 10 total pages of information.

References may be used to verify project size, scope, dollar value, percentages, and quality of performance. For each example project, include original contract amount, pending, and actual modification cost. Projects similar in scope to this project include: wipe and air sampling to determine extent of interior contamination; interior abatement of lead from former indoor firing ranges; abatement of indoor heavy metals contamination from machinery operation and maintenance. Projects similar in size to this project include: in a single calendar year, wipe sampling of a minimum of 100 properties and abatement/cleaning of a minimum of 50 properties (including administrative, maintenance, and appurtenant buildings) ranging from a few thousand square feet to tens of thousands of square feet across the U.S. and its territories. Must be able to provide associated management of concurrent activities in 100+ locations and coordinating with up to 75 different POCs to secure access to each facility; complete a range of security clearance requirements; and dispose of waste generated. a) Based on the definitions above, for each project submitted, include: i. Counts of sampling (# facilities sampled & number of samples) & abatement (# facilities abated and square footage for each) projects/contracts complete and the date when it was or will be completed. ii. Scope of the project. iii. Size of the project. iv. The dollar value of the contract. v. The portion and percentage of the project that was self-performed. 4. If the MATOC task orders required performance anywhere in the United States of America, and its territories how would that impact your decision to propose and/or your ability to perform on the contract? 5. If the MATOC task order boundaries were separated by the geographic regions as identified above, for annual task order requirements approximately similar in size and scope as identified above, how would that impact your decision to propose and/or your ability to perform in a specific geographic region? 6. Respondent's capability to perform, to include geographic reach, logistical capabilities, and project size (i.e. number of concurrent locations) the respondent can handle. Respondents should also include capability to execute full sampling and abatement of the projects.
