Description

Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic intends to negotiate a sole-source, firm-fixed price (FFP) contract for the repair of the airfield runway and adjacent taxiways at Grottaglie, Italy through application of Gilsonite Sealer Binder (GSB-88) seal coat with aggregate. GSB-88, as applied by ASI with an aggregate, is the only product blend and application method with a demonstrated ability to minimize friction loss and provide adequate encapsulation of the raveling pavement surface, given the condition of the runway and the type of aircraft utilizing it. As a result of an Office of Naval Research study (TR-2363-SHR, Evaluation of a Corrosion Control Material for Asphalt Preservation of DoD Airfield Pavements), the use of GSB-88 is now required by Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) 32 01 13.00 21. GSB-88 and aggregate will be applied on the runway and adjacent taxiways at NAS Grottaglie to minimize the development of foreign object debris (FOD), which is currently preventing the operation of the AV-8B aircraft. This requirement is in support of the NAVAIR AV-8B Harrier II Plus Joint Program Office out of Patuxent River. The Government intends to negotiate solely with Asphalt Systems, Inc. (ASI) of Salt Lake City, Utah under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1)(B), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. ASI is the only responsible source capable of satisfying the agency ™s minimum requirements due to the fact that they are the only source that has applied GSB-88, with a special aggregate blend, on US military runways and has the specialized experience to use it to encapsulate a failing asphalt surface that is actively shedding FOD. Applying a conventional asphalt seal coat to an asphalt pavement typically results in friction loss. Friction loss on a runway surface is unacceptable as it increases the risk of hydroplaning, which can result in the loss of the aircraft and personnel. ASI, Inc. developed an aggregate blend that is applied with GSB-88 to prevent friction loss from occurring after the GSB-88 seal coat is applied. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received by 28 August 2015 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1(d)(2), all written responses to this special notice must include a written narrative statement of capability, including detailed technical information demonstrating the ability to meet the above requirements. The response must be sufficient to permit agency analysis to establish a bona fide capability to meet the requirements. Failure to submit such documentation shall result in the Government proceeding as stated above. The North American Industrial Code System (NAICS) code is 237990, Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, with a size standard of $36.5M in average annual receipts. Point of contact: Lisa Sumpter, Contract Specialist, lisa.sumpter@navy.mil. All requests for information concerning this special notice must be submitted in writing to Lisa Sumpter via email by 28 August 2015.
