Z--LARO SEVEN BAYS LIFT STATION REPAIRS

The contract for LARO SEVEN BAYS LIFT STATION REPAIRS involves the rehabilitation and modernization of a wastewater lift station at Seven Bays Marina within the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, located near Coulee Dam, Washington. Work includes replacing obsolete components with new, corrosion-resistant systems such as two 208V, 3-phase ABS Piranha PE45-2C submersible grinder pumps, a duplex 316 stainless steel guide rail system, stainless steel discharge piping connected to an existing 3-inch force main, a new float tree assembly with five level sensors, and epoxy-coating of the wet well interior using near-white metal surface preparation. All materials and equipment must be sourced externally and meet stringent environmental standards, including pressure cleaning prior to entry to prevent invasive species introduction. Operations are restricted to the existing wet well, with strict prohibitions on wildlife feeding, improper waste disposal, and any unapproved modifications. Restoration of any environmental damage caused during work is the contractor’s responsibility at no additional cost to the government, and hauling must comply with both state and park-specific load restrictions. Access to certain areas is controlled by a locked gate managed by a concessionaire and requires prior coordination with the Contracting Officer’s Representative. Performance must be completed within 45 days of receiving the Notice to Proceed, with delivery and acceptance occurring on-site at the lift station. The government is responsible for inspection and final acceptance, which requires all components—particularly pumps, guide rails, and piping—to meet or equal specified standards with no leaks, fully functional alarms, and reliable operation under normal conditions. The solicitation does not include pricing details or a stated contract value, and payment must be submitted electronically via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), not WAWF. Proposals must be submitted as a single PDF by June 5, 2026, to Michael Abner at michael_abner@ios.doi.gov, and offerors must be enrolled in SAM with a valid UEI and CAGE code. The contract includes multiple FAR clauses supporting small business set-asides, including SDVOSB, WOSB, and economically disadvantaged women-owned small business programs, and requires adherence to nonmanufacturer rules and subcontracting limitations. A site visit is strongly recommended due to complex logistical and environmental constraints. The award will be made based on a trade-off process considering both price and technical capability, with past performance also evaluated, though no formal weighting or adjectival ratings are specified. All critical components require written COR approval
