C--WY BRIDGE INSPECTIONS

The contract pertains to bridge inspections across four Bureau of Reclamation dam sites in Wyoming—Boysen Dam, Seminoe Spillway, Alcova Spillway, and Buffalo Bill Spillway—under a total small business set-aside with NAICS code 541330 for engineering services. Performance is scheduled to run from June 1, 2026, through September 30, 2026, with all physical inspection activities required to occur on-site at the specified locations. The contractor must employ NHI-licensed inspectors to conduct comprehensive visual and non-destructive evaluations of bridge components including decks, superstructures, bearings, abutments, and steel girders, with detailed recording of cracks greater than 0.012 inches in width, categorized by type and measured accurately. Imaging must be captured at a minimum resolution of 20 megapixels, properly scaled and stitched to ensure precise measurement, and all data must be submitted electronically via Kiteworks using the prescribed protocols. Technical compliance is evaluated as the most critical factor alongside past performance, both carrying greater weight than price, and proposals must include certified inspector credentials and detailed inspection methodologies to be deemed responsive. The contract imposes stringent security and compliance obligations under the Bureau of Reclamation’s WBR 1452.237-80 clause, requiring adherence to OSHA standards, immediate reporting of injuries or incidents, and strict protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) as defined by Executive Order 13556. Contractors must implement physical and digital access controls, sanitize or destroy media containing Federal Contract Information upon completion, and obtain prior written approval for any public release of information. Non-U.S. citizens must submit passport, visa, and I-94 documentation 14 days prior to work commencement, and all subcontractors must flow down security and information handling requirements. Invoicing is mandated through the U.S. Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), with no use of WAWF permitted. The contracting officer is Natalie Oslund, and all proposals must be submitted electronically to her email by April 10, 2026, with mandatory SAM.gov registration. The award will be based on a best-value trade-off, not lowest price technically acceptable, and failure to satisfy any technical or compliance requirement—including the provision of certified inspector credentials or complete past performance data—will render a quotation non-responsive.
