Title of Project: Replace Anacapa Stiff-Leg Derrick Crane with a Two-Crane System, Channel Islands National Park, CHIS 185164 Description: This project will replace an eighty year old, non-functioning, obsolete, stiff-leg derrick crane located on Anacapa Island, and perform required modifications to the concrete landing it is mounted on. The crane system is required to transport equipment and materials from the vessel to the lower dock, then from the lower dock to the top of the island, a 100-foot vertical lift. The proposed replacement is a two-crane system, with one crane on the upper landing and the other on the lower landing. The scope of the project and cost is based on a feasibility study conducted by the park and region in FY 2011. The two-crane system will include contemporary safety and efficiency features such as cable stops, live boom, and geared or hydraulic swing mechanisms that are in a closed case. The system will improve visual controls of the load lift, allowing a quick pick from the ship to the lower dock, and then a second lift from the lower dock to the top of the island. This maneuverability is essential for a safe, reliable operation with surging tides and heavy wave action in the open ocean setting. The dock and crane location and configuration at the Anacapa Island Landing Cove makes construction access difficult. Equipment will be lifted to the site by a heavy lift helicopter. After the new concrete and the new crane are assembled, the old crane and concrete rubble will be removed from the site and recycled on the mainland. Type of Procurement: It is anticipated that a negotiated firm-fixed-price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and price proposal. The government will consider an offeror's technical capability in comparison to its price. Estimated Magnitude: Between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 Estimated Period of Performance: October 1, 2019 - March 30, 2020 Proposal receipt date is not known at this time. The actual date will be established in the solicitation documents. This is currently an unfunded requirement with a high expectation that funds will be available. When and if funds become available, a contract will be awarded at that time. A pre-proposal meeting may be posted and date/location will be noted in the solicitation. All responsible small business sources may submit an offer which, if submitted in a timely manner, will be considered. It is the policy of the government to provide maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to small business, veteran-owned small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns. Such concerns must also have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate as subcontractors in the contracts awarded by any executive agency, consistent with efficient contract performance. All offerors are strongly encouraged to contact their local Small Business Administration Office, to post their need for qualified subcontractors at http://www.sba.gov .
