Project Description: The Norfolk District, Corps of Engineers is conducting Market Research to identify potential Sources for the Decommission Electrical Lines project at DLA / DSCR, Chesterfield County, Richmond, Virginia. Approximately 3.2 miles of existing primary electrical feeders have been identified which are currently underutilized or will become underutilized as base renovations move forward. This project is to prepare a decommissioning plan to remove the underutilized primary feeders as well as the associated poles and transformers which are no longer needed. A phasing plan will be required since some of the buildings have not been demolished and may still exist when this plan is complete and demolition of the feeders begins. Primary feeders along the perimeter fence and interior roadways which only serve lighting and cameras are to be removed. New secondary circuits are to be provided for the lights and cameras and they are to be remain functional during construction. Other lines, such as CCTV or Communications lines, may be present on the existing poles. All existing lines are to be taken into account when deciding which poles are to be removed. Identify any existing PCB transformers or other hazardous materials (such as creosote poles) which will require special handling and disposal when removed. Identify items which have recycle value (copper wire, etc.). The anticipated period of performance is 180 calendar days. This Sources Sought anticipates the need for a laydown area for the project.
