Council Grove Clean & Paint Bridge Deck Girders

The contract pertains to the repainting of steel bridge deck girders and all associated appurtenances at the Council Grove Intake Structure Access Bridge in Morris County, Kansas, with concurrent removal and disposal of lead-based paint in full compliance with federal, state, and local environmental and safety regulations. Work is scheduled under a firm-fixed-price structure using sealed bidding procedures per FAR Part 14, with the award based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology. The estimated duration of performance is 365 calendar days, and the project is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District, with all work occurring on-site at the bridge location. Contractors must demonstrate capability through a submission limited to five pages that includes firm information, statement of interest, experience with comparable projects, business size classification, details on joint ventures or teaming arrangements, and a letter confirming bonding capacity. The procurement is open to all eligible bidders with no set-aside, though small businesses must comply with the FAR 52.219-14 limitation on subcontracting, which caps payments to non-similarly situated subcontractors at 85% of the total contract value excluding materials. All offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and hold a Unique Entity ID, and they are required to adhere to the USACE Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1) during all phases of work, particularly during hazardous material abatement. The government retains final acceptance authority for all deliverables, and packaging, preservation, and labeling of lead-contaminated debris must align with applicable hazardous materials handling standards, though specific MIL-STDs or labeling codes are not formally cited. While no formal evaluation factors or line-item pricing details are provided due to the preliminary nature of this sources-sought notice, the estimated contract value is between $1 million and $5 million, and responses must be submitted via email to the contract specialist by 3:00 PM CST on August 7, 2026.
