Z--Bradbury Dam Outlet Valve Replacement

The Bradbury Dam Outlet Valve Replacement project, solicitation 140R2026R0018, is a total small business set-aside managed by the Bureau of Reclamation under the Department of the Interior. The primary objective is to replace existing 30-inch valves with fixed-cone valves to improve the operation and efficiency of water releases within the outlet works. Located in Santa Barbara County, California, the project has an estimated cost between 1 million and 5 million dollars. The scope of work includes mobilization, the implementation of a temporary bypass pump system, general electrical system work, and the removal and installation of valves. Performance must begin within 7 calendar days of the award and be completed within 365 calendar days, with a critical mandate that the facility must be able to control and release water through the new valves by December 15, 2027. Award will be granted to the responsible offeror submitting the lowest evaluated price, provided they meet acceptability standards for non-cost factors, including a coordinated construction schedule and relevant experience. Technical proposals are evaluated on an acceptable or unacceptable basis without ranking or trade-offs. The contract is subject to the Davis-Bacon Act and requires performance and payment bonds. Quality standards are governed by various reference standards, including USBR Reclamation Safety and Health Standards, ASME, ASTM, and NFPA 70. Final inspection and acceptance of materials will occur exclusively at the jobsite following installation and testing. Proposals must be submitted in three separate volumes covering business representations, technical capabilities and past performance, and pricing.
