CANCELLATION of "Replacement of dock and gangway at English Camp; San Juan Island NHP; Washington"

The contract for the replacement of the dock and gangway at English Camp, San Juan Island National Historical Park in Washington, was cancelled in its entirety. Originally, the project involved the demolition and disposal of an existing floating dock, aluminum gangway, and treated wood piles, followed by the construction of a new fixed pier with gangway and floating dock. Additional work included fabricating and installing new handrails at the existing stone and concrete stairway and abutment, constructing a raised platform above the existing concrete landing, and conducting dynamic cone penetration testing to determine the appropriate pile driving method for installing support piles. The work was to be contracted under a firm-fixed-price construction contract subject to the Davis-Bacon Act, with an estimated project cost between $100,000 and $250,000. Scheduled on-site work was planned between June 5, 2012, and January 14, 2013, in alignment with the Hydraulic Project Approval from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. This procurement was designated as a best value, HUBZone small business set-aside in accordance with FAR Subpart 19.13, targeting certified HUBZone small business concerns under the NAICS code 237990 with a small business size standard of $33.5 million average annual gross receipts. The Department of the Interior’s Dsc Contracting Services Division managed the solicitation from their Denver office. Although the original solicitation was cancelled, the work is expected to be resolicited soon under a small business set-aside, continuing the commitment to support HUBZone businesses while ensuring environmental and regulatory compliance for work performed within this historic site.
