The U.S. Coast Guard is considering whether or not to set aside an acquisition for HUBZone concerns, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concerns (SDVOSB) or Small Business Concerns. The estimated value of this procurement is between $500,000,00 and $1,000,000.00. Performance time is 60 calendar days. The applicable North American Industry Class System (NAICS) code is 237990 Dredging. The small business size standard is a three-year averaged annual gross receipt of $17.0 million. Bid, payment and performance bonds are required. The solicitation in its entirety and any amendments will be available at no charge online at http://www.fbo.gov under the above solicitation number. The project work consists of dredging and disposing of approximately 5,000 cubic yards of accumulated river deposits and riprap rocks from shoreline area approximately 290 ft. by 11 ft, and shoreline stabilization of dredging area's restructured side slopes utilizing approximately 3,252 cubic yards of riprap. The contractor shall be limited to the use of the southern end of the floating barge to perform work. All work shall be performed from floating platform since shore side access to work area is limited. All work shall be performed between August - February when river levels are typically lowest. At the present time, this acquisition is expected to be issued as a Small Business set aside. However, in accordance with FAR 19.1305, if your firm is HUBZone certified or 19.1405 if your firm is SDVOSB and intends to submit an offer on this acquisition, please respond by e-mail to contact@example.gov or by fax +1 (555) 000-0000.
