AI Contract Overview
The United States Coast Guard is seeking qualified small businesses to provide all labor, tools, equipment, and materials for a potable water system upgrade at the CGC GREENBRIER UPH BUILDING in Natchez, Mississippi. The project requires removal and replacement of a 2.5-inch inground valve, approximately 25 feet of underground PVC piping, and 65 feet of above-ground Schedule 80 PVC piping running across a wooden railing toward the tramway. A critical component involves routing a reducer from 2.5-inch to 2.0-inch Schedule 80 PVC beneath the tramway for an 88-foot run, followed by two tee connections branching off to 1.5-inch Schedule 80 PVC lines serving potable water access points next to the tramway’s highest pins, spaced about 87 feet apart. Each access point must include an upward-facing bleed valve, a cut-off valve, and a downward-facing 1.5-inch NPT thread adapter. Contractors must coordinate with the local city water utility to ensure water shutoffs do not exceed a single workday and are responsible for verifying all existing site conditions, clearances, and dimensions prior to quoting. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 237110, and all offerors must be actively registered in SAM.gov. Proposals must be submitted as firm-fixed price quotes by the deadline and include pricing, technical approach, and past performance information. The award will be based on the lowest priced technically acceptable response, with past performance evaluated for relevance, quality, and timeliness—those without relevant experience will receive a neutral rating. Site visits are strongly encouraged, and potential bidders should contact Chief Anthony DeLorenzo to arrange access to the facility. The solicitation, issued as a Request for Quotation under FAR Part 36, includes applicable Department of Labor wage rates and excludes payment and performance bonds. All responses must be sent to Joel Ivy by the specified deadline, and visual references provided in the scope of work must be thoroughly reviewed as they govern the understanding of required work.
