- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The purchase request number is FQ481441120300, and is being solicitation issued as a sole source request for quotation. The proposed action is for services for which the government intends to solicit and award a contract with one organization under the authority of FAR Part 6.302. This project consists of matching funds from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for partnering with the local non-profit organization Tampa Bay Watch. Tampa Bay Watch is selected as the sole source contractor due to the funding and technical requirements associated with this project. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2001-22. Description of Services. Shoreline stabilization project consisting of construction of a shallow wave-energy barrier. Requirement: Provide all research and engineering management, labor, materials, equipment and transportation to install a shallow wave energy dissipation barrier approximately 800 ft long parallel to the shoreline. The barrier shall be constructed between 50-150 feet offshore where the water is typically 1.5 to 2.0 feet deep at high tide. All work shall be in compliance with the statement of work. 1.0 OBJECTIVE; The southeastern shoreline along MacDill AFB is rapidly eroding. The rate of erosion has been estimated to be approximately one foot per year. Shoreline erosion may be due to a number of factors including an increase in the size and volume of commercial ship traffic through Hillsborough and Tampa Bays. Shoreline erosion has been observed at many locations throughout coastal areas around Tampa Bay. Due to the steady shoreline erosion at MacDill, approximately 3,800 square feet of beach along a half mile of remnant coastal shoreline is lost annually. Some of the natural resources along the shoreline that will be lost soon include historic Live Oaks (100+ years old), mature Black Mangroves, and dense shore grass stands. In addition to the natural resource losses resulting from the disappearing shoreline, an eligible cultural resources site is also being impacted by the continuing shoreline erosion. The Gadsden Point site (MacDill Site 8 Hi50) is located in the northern portion of the southeastern shoreline area, and it too is rapidly eroding. Erosion of the shoreline in the area around the Gadsden Point site resulted in the discovery of Native American remains around 1994. Continued erosion of the shoreline around the Gadsden Point site could result in exposure of more archeological resources. The site contains important Native American burial remains and middens that may experience new exposure almost daily. Stabilization of the MacDill AFB southeastern shoreline may be completed through construction of a shallow wave-energy barrier constructed of concrete "reef-balls" or other shallow wave-energy dissipation barriers. The pre-fabricated reef-balls are designed to reduce wave energy and encourage establishment of oyster and mussel beds/bars. MacDill AFB has completed a demonstration project in the northern portion of the southeastern-most shoreline of MacDill AFB to determine which ?reef-ball? configuration was most effective at reducing wave energy and stabilizing the shoreline. The demonstration project (known as Phase I) created a shallow wave-energy dissipation barrier approximately 800 feet long parallel to the shoreline. The barrier was constructed approximately 100 feet off-shore where the water is 1.5 to 2.0 feet deep at high tide. MacDill AFB received matching funds from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for both Phase I and Phase II of the shoreline stabilization project (Phase II has been contracted). Phase III will very likely receive a matching grant from USFWS, as the first two phases did. MacDill AFB is also actively seeking other organizations to partner with for implementation of Phases III, IV and V. 2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 3.0 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS: 3.1 The Subcontractor shall provide all management, partial labor, equipment and material to install a shallow wave-energy dissipation barriers demonstration project. Much of the labor for installation will come from volunteer support by base personnel. The project shall create a shallow wave-energy dissipation barrier approximately 800 feet long parallel to the shoreline. The barrier shall be constructed between 50-150 feet off-shore where the water is typically 1.5 to 2.0 feet deep at high tide. The location of the demonstration project is presented in Attachment 1. 3.2 Permits: The contractor shall prepare the applications for any permits required for implementation of the project, both State of Florida and federal permits. 3.3 Work Plan: The contractor shall develop a work plan describing the type of shallow wave-energy dissipation barrier to be used, the proposed method(s) of installing the barriers, and the method(s) for securing the barriers to the substrate. 3.4 Pre-installation Conference: The contractor shall attend a pre-installation conference to discuss the project, base access, security requirements, etc.. 4.0 DELIVERABLES 4.1 Permits: The contractor shall submit completed permit applications to 6 CES/CEV for signature as the owner/operator. 4.2 Work Plan: The contractor shall submit a work plan describing the type of shallow wave-energy dissipation barrier to be used, the proposed method of installation, and the proposed method(s) for securing the dissipation barriers to the substrate. Period of performance is from 1 Jun 04 to 6 months from final permit receipt from regulators. The following provisions are applicable FAR Part 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial, applies to this acquisition and a statement regarding any addenda to the provision. 52.212-2, Evaluation -- Commercial Items, if used, and the specific evaluation criteria to be included in paragraph (a) of that provision, 52.212-3 Alt 1, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items is required, 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions -- Commercial Items, 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes Or Executive Orders -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition and a statement regarding which, if any, of the additional FAR clauses cited in the clause are applicable to the acquisition.
