- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT announcement; a market survey for information only, to be used for preliminary planning purposes. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SYNOPSIS. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this synopsis or any follow up information requests. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Project magnitude is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. Estimated duration of the project is 2 years. BACKGROUND.� The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District (herein referred to as the USACE) plans to construct major modifications to Whittier Narrows Dam to better protect downstream communities. PROJECT SYNOPSIS.� An IDIQ is contemplated for the following effort.� The project will include overtopping protection by installing hardfill (soil cement) materials on the crest and downstream face and toe of the embankment. More than 400,000 cubic yards (CY) of hardfill are estimated for the project; so roughly 400,000 CY of aggregate materials are estimated to be necessary. Due to lack of suitable on-site materials, all of the hardfill aggregate materials will have to be imported from off site. Based on initial testing, recycled concrete and asphalt aggregates appear to be good materials for hardfill embankment overtopping protection, given their favorable engineering properties, economics, and environmental advantages. Recycled aggregate may be used for a portion of the total 400,000 CY needed for hardfill. Locally, recycled aggregate is widely commercially available as crushed miscellaneous base (CMB). However, the raw material for CMB (concrete and asphalt demolition rubble) is often only available on a sporadic basis when local government (state/county/city) infrastructure projects, or major industrial concrete structures are being demolished. Thus, an early start (prior to the dam construction project) for obtaining recycled concrete and asphalt material for stockpiling over a period of time is desirable to meet the economics, quantity and schedule needs of the project. The purpose of this synopsis is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities and qualifications of various members of industry, to include large and Small Business Community.� Small Businesses includes Section 8(a), Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUB-Zone), Woman-owned Small Businesses (WOSB) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). The Government must ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of responsible contractors. The Government is seeking qualified, experienced sources capable of performing Supply recycled concrete and asphalt aggregate materials for use as �hardfill� (soil cement) construction. Material crushing and processing may occur on site or off site as needed at the discretion of the contractor.��� The site of the planned stockpile effort is the Operations and Maintenance area of Whittier Narrows (SEE ATTACHMENT), between Rosemead Boulevard (California State Highway 19) and the San Gabriel River. Capabilities required include the following: Crushing concrete (through on-site or off-site crushing operations); Delivering crushed concrete (Portland cement concrete and/or crushed asphaltic concrete) without foreign materials such as rebar, porcelain, brick, trash, wood, hazardous materials, etc. to specified grain size requirements; Conducting regular laboratory testing to verify quality of the concrete; and Meeting environmental requirements, such as dust control, stormwater pollution prevention, and other engineering best management practices Small Businesses are reminded under FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting that they must perform at least 15% of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with their own employees for general construction-type procurement. 8(a) firms are reminded they need to have a bonafide office in the area to where the work is to be performed should the acquisition be set-aside for 8(a) program.
