GRAVITY MAIN- Springfield St

The Air Force is seeking sources for a potential 100 percent set-aside for HUBZone, EDWOSB, or Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns. IF ADEQUATE RESPONSES ARE NOT RECEIVED, THE ACQUISTION MAY BE SOLICITED ON AN UNRESTRICTED BASIS. This is a sources sought for planning purposes only. This project replaces approximately 10,000 linear feet of 21 to 27 inch gravity sanitary sewer from west of Gate 1B along Springfield Street to a manhole in the center of Smithville Road. The pipeline crosses under the Harshman Road overpass, runs through Yorktown Colony Apartments, and follows an abandoned railroad line through the East Gardendale Plat in the City of Riverside. Work includes installing sanitary sewer main using open cut, jack and boring, and pipe bursting methods; by-passing sanitary flows equal to or greater than 2.0 million gallons per day in an active sanitary main with no disruption to sanitary service; replacing sanitary pipe through an active roadway with no road closures to include off-ramps, main intersections and general vehicle traffic; coordinating with multiple government agencies; and constructing sewer pipe through the following types of property: residential, multi-residential complexes, and commercial. Special Requirements/Concerns: Restrictive easement boundaries through private properties outside base boundaries. The line traverses through an apartment complex creating restrictive safety considerations. The line is under Springfield Street at the Harshman Road by-pass. This will require micro tunneling and bore and jack procedures to avert surface disruptions. In addition, there are line traverses near many private company utility lines that will have to be accounted for and avoided. This will require an experienced contractor to keep sewage flow operational for over half of Area B and all of Area A (Patterson Field). Failure in this project could result in shutdown of WPAFB operations, environmental contamination and resultant fines and penalties, and widespread power/water/sewer outages off base. The Air Force intends to award a contract with a 300 day period of performance. The estimated magnitude of the entire contract is between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00 NAICS Code : 237110 Size Standard: $33.5M.

A decision on whether this will be pursued as a set-aside or an unrestricted basis will be posted as a modification in Federal Business Opportunities.
