J--Repair of Yosemite Overhead Distribution Line - Yo

The contract pertains to the repair of a 2.4kV overhead distribution line located within Yosemite National Park in Mariposa County, California, with performance centered at the El Portal Wastewater Treatment Plant. The work involves conductor replacement, pole work, and hardware installation in steep, remote terrain, requiring strict adherence to National Park Service protocols, OSHA standards, and federal regulations. The contract is a firm-fixed-price award with a total performance period of 15 calendar days beginning 10 days after the notice to proceed, and all work, including cleanup, must be completed within this narrow window. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 237130, with a size standard of $45 million in annual gross receipts, and requires offerors to self-certify as small businesses and provide their Unique Entity Identifier through SAM. Davis-Bacon wage rates for Mariposa County apply, and contractors must carry California workers’ compensation insurance or be self-insured prior to commencing work. Contractors must develop and submit a site-specific safety and health plan approved by the Contracting Officer’s Representative, and must comply with all Interior Department and NPS regulations, including restrictions on weekend, holiday, and night work, which require prior written consent. Discovery of archaeological artifacts or historic remains mandates an immediate work stoppage and notification to the Contracting Officer, with potential for equitable adjustment. Key personnel—including a Project Manager, Site Superintendent, Quality Control Manager, and Safety Manager—must be assigned, and substitutions are tightly controlled, requiring advance notice and justification. The contract incorporates numerous FAR clauses, many with deviations, including whistleblower protections, prompt payment for construction contracts, and requirements for electronic invoicing through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform. Payment is not tied to traditional remittance addresses but is processed exclusively through IPP, with evaluations based on a trade-off approach prioritizing price, followed by schedule, technical approach, and past performance. Deliverables include a completion report, photo documentation from all phases of the work, and an on-site final walkthrough with NPS. No pricing data is provided in the contract, and packaging, marking, and shipping requirements are not available in the disclosed documents. All submissions must be made electronically in PDF format to the designated contracting officer’s email by the specified deadline.
