CMR grounds safety improvement project

The U.S. Embassy Banjul is soliciting competitive quotations for a grounds safety improvement project at the CMR compound, involving the full renovation of walkways, stairways, patio, and gazebo areas. The work requires complete removal of existing pavers, stones, and sunken sections, with replacement using non-slip floor tiles, installation of ABA-compliant handrails, and repair of the storm drainage system to meet U.S. and local safety standards. All work must be performed under a fixed-price contract and completed within 30 days of the Notice to Proceed, with strict adherence to ASTM, International Building Code, National Electrical Code, OBO Design Standards, and USACE guidelines, applying the more stringent standard where conflicts arise. The contractor must provide comprehensive documentation including a Quality Management Plan, Project Safety Plan, detailed schedule, architectural drawings, final renderings, and a Release of Claims Certificate, all of which become U.S. government property upon acceptance. The contract requires compliance with a range of Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses including those governing system for award management, personal identity verification, combating trafficking in persons, employment eligibility, minimum wage requirements, workers’ compensation, privacy training, and special provisions for personnel working in diplomatic missions overseas. Contractors must submit personal data for embassy security clearance within 45 days of notice to proceed and comply with Department of State identification card policies. All personnel must be trained and certified, with a designated competent person overseeing safety, including proper PPE usage and protocols for high-risk tasks requiring two certified workers. Proposals must be submitted in two separate packages—technical and cost—and are subject to evaluation based on technical acceptability and lowest price, with no trade-off analysis indicated. Work will be performed solely at the U.S. Embassy Banjul compound in The Gambia, and all materials and processes must conform to hazardous substance handling, labeling, and documentation requirements including SDS sheets. The solicitation, numbered PR15756088, was posted on June 3, 2026, with responses due by June 24, 2026, and no set-aside status is specified, making it open to all responsible offerors.
