The Kansas Air National Guard at McConnell AFB is conducting a sources sought announcement for market research into potential contractors for the Air Park Pond Aeration project, scheduled for future solicitation. The work involves installing a subsurface aeration system at the pond located in Prairie Vlg, Kansas, including the construction of a reinforced 4,000 psi concrete pad adjacent to the sidewalk to support a fan-cooled, locking steel cabinet housing a PA75AD three-quarter horsepower rotary vane compressor with a four-zone manifold assembly. The contractor will cut and remove a 24-inch section of sidewalk, core a tunnel beneath it to route four air hoses and install a six-inch pipe connected via a four-inch corrugated drain conduit to the valve box and cabinet, replace the existing valve cover with a larger unit, and deploy four ten-inch double diffusers across the pond using watercraft, all while managing the disposal of debris. The system will use existing 120V electrical service, and the required materials include specific piping, polyethylene airline, quick-connect tubing, and hardware. This effort is classified under NAICS code 237110 with a small business size standard of $45 million and intended as a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, though it may be opened to unrestricted competition if insufficient small business responses are received.
