BATHTUB REPLACEMENT REMODEL

The U.S. Coast Guard Academy, under the Department of Homeland Security, is seeking a small business contractor to perform a comprehensive bathtub replacement and remodel at Quarters 2, 3rd floor bathroom in New London, Connecticut. The scope includes full removal of the existing fiberglass tub, surrounding walls, diverter valve, and all accessories, followed by the installation of new mold- and water-resistant greenboard backing, a 60 x 30 x 15 white acrylic tub, matching white acrylic wall panels, a Wolverine Brass Inc. diverter valve, a chrome 24-inch grab bar, a white acrylic four-shelf corner caddy, and a Raincan handheld shower head with a five-foot hose and glide bar. The contractor is responsible for supplying all materials, labor, equipment, supervision, and transportation, and must ensure thorough cleanup, caulking, and removal of all debris to an off-site dumpster. All work must comply with manufacturer specifications and Division 22 plumbing standards, and performance is limited to weekday hours between 0730 and 1600, excluding federal holidays. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 236118, and only entities self-certified as small businesses with an active UEI number may respond. Contractors must submit quotes on official letterhead clearly displaying their UEI and are prohibited from using subcontractors under any circumstances. The contract requires strict adherence to site-specific conditions, including the use of a photo Real ID with a gold star for all personnel entering the installation site, limited utility access (115V/15A outlet and household water pressure only), and coordination through the designated Contracting Officer’s Representative, Andrew Hoffman. No formal pricing structure or contract value is published; instead, offerors must propose their own pricing. The place of performance is fixed at the Coast Guard Academy installation, and final acceptance will occur on-site following a walkthrough by the COR to verify compliance, functionality, and customer satisfaction. There are no options, extensions, or indefinite delivery provisions, and the contract is expected to be awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis based on the completeness and responsiveness of the submitted quote, though no formal evaluation factors are detailed.
