Z--Stampede Penstock and Butterfly Valve Rehab

The contract for the Stampede Penstock and Butterfly Valve Rehab involves the rehabilitation of critical water infrastructure under the Bureau of Reclamation’s Mid-Pacific Region, with performance occurring at a project site under its jurisdiction. The scope encompasses multiple construction divisions including earthwork, marine construction, electrical systems, finishes, and hazardous material abatement, with specific requirements for abrasive blast cleaning and coating application on carbon steel, ductile iron, and steel components, as well as demolition, repair, and replacement of damaged infrastructure. Work must begin within seven days of notice to proceed and be fully completed within 600 calendar days, including final site cleanup. All materials must be sourced from the original manufacturer’s production lot, preserved against environmental degradation, and packaged according to strict standards requiring complete product identification, heat-shrink labeling with specified font and length, and non-conductive, heat-resistant cable tags. No bar-coding or military packaging standards are mandated, but industry standards such as ASME BPVC-V-21, ASME BPVC-IX-21, ASTM A802-19, and SSPC-SP standards govern inspection, testing, surface preparation, and welding qualifications. Acceptance of all materials occurs only at the jobsite after installation and testing, with the contractor fully responsible for damage or loss post-inspection. The solicitation is structured under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology, with no weighting assigned to factors, and award contingent upon proposals being deemed acceptable across all criteria—Technical Capability (including construction schedule and experience) and Past Performance—with price serving as the sole differentiator among technically acceptable offers. Proposals must be submitted electronically in three distinct volumes—Business, Technical, and Pricing—each with specific formatting requirements including a table of contents, cross-references, and cover page, and must be emailed to the contracting officer, Charlesetta Seibure, by the June 9, 2026 deadline. All offerors must provide a Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code if using covered telecommunications equipment, and must represent their small business status under NAICS 237110, with a $45 million size standard. Contractor personnel are subject to Tier 1 background investigations under Reclamation’s SLE 01-01 directive, must obtain DOI Access Cards, and are required to have a Certified Industrial Hygienist and Safety Professional on site. Invoicing must be submitted through the Integrated Payment Processing system, with supporting documents emailed to a designated address;
