Y--CAPE COD NS - NELLIE ROAD COMBINED SEPTIC SYSTEM

The National Park Service, through the New England Major Acquisition Buying Office, has solicited bids for the installation of a combined septic system at 360 Nellie Road in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, within the Cape Cod National Seashore. The contract is a firm fixed price arrangement under NAICS code 237110 for wastewater system construction, with a period of performance running from June 1, 2026, to February 28, 2027, and work must begin within 14 days of notice to proceed. The base contract includes septic system installation for dwellings 2 and 3, with options to extend to dwelling 1, dwelling 4, and associated road repairs—all contingent on funding and prior option elections. The solicitation requires proposers to submit two electronic volumes: a technical proposal addressing technical approach, schedule, project experience, and self-performance; and a business and price proposal with financial documentation, all sent via email with a combined file size not exceeding 30 MB. Proposals must comply with strict organizational formatting, include current SAM.gov registration with a valid UEI and CAGE code, and affirm representations regarding small business status, telecommunications equipment restrictions, and subcontractor sales. The evaluation is a best value tradeoff process, where technical capability, management experience, past performance, and price are considered equally important, with no minimum score requirement for technical factors—only risk-based adjectival ratings applied. Contract administration is governed by comprehensive inspection and acceptance protocols under FAR 52.246-12, requiring conformance to industry standards such as NFPA 70, ACI 318, and ASTM specifications, alongside mandatory submission of daily reports, test results, as-built drawings, O&M manuals, and construction images. The contractor must ensure all packaging meets EPA and ASTM recycled content standards for paperboard and carrier materials, with an emphasis on minimal, recyclable, and biodegradable packaging. Payment must be submitted electronically through the U.S. Treasury’s Internet Payment Platform, with WAWF explicitly disallowed. All deliverables are accepted on-site after government inspection, and contractors are required to maintain their own quality control systems and correct non-conforming work. Special clauses mandate compliance with restrictions on contingent fees, prohibitions on unmanned aircraft systems from covered foreign entities, liability insurance, and the flow-down of telecom equipment disclosures to subcontractors. Submittals such as landfill receipts and record drawings are required at closeout,
