This notice does NOT constitute a request for proposal, request for quote, or invitation for bid. The intent of this synopsis is to make notice of a proposed contract action for performing construction services for P-678 Dry Dock 8 Saltwater System for CVN-78, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, Virginia. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project is comprised of two phases of construction with a ship docking between Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase 1 will construct 34.5kV site power distribution including underground duct banks, feeders, pad mounted switches, 34kV- 4.16kV substations and underground feeders to Pumpwell 8. Pumpwell 8 construction consists of Pumpwell 8 drainage capacity upgrades, L=HP0-replacement of Main Drain Pump (MDP) motors, back-up power for drainage pumps, interior electrical upgrades for a 4.16kV system to serve the drainage and MDP pumps, control booth and console, and SCADA system upgrades. Supporting structural and site upgrades include installation of micropile foundations, monorail, temporary pumpwell suction chamber plugs, pumpwell drainage piping routed through the abandoned South flooding flume, outfall structure, temporary cofferdam, railroad repairs and underground utilities relocation and paving. Phase 2 will demolish two pump stations and their saltwater intake structures (Buildings 828 and 829) and construct two saltwater pump stations including their saltwater intakes, back-up power, pile foundations including additional timber wharf piles. The project will construct an underground saltwater distribution system around the dry dock including direct buried piping and utility tunnel penetrations. Saltwater feeders will supply the North and South sides of the dry dock gallery and coping level with saltwater for cooling and firefighting needs through multiple piping manifolds. Saltwater return piping will be routed along the dry dock wall and transition into the abandoned North and South flooding flumes to outfall structures at the river. Temporary cofferdams will be required. Sitework includes crane rail reconstruction, railroad repair, utility relocations and paving. The completed time for this contract is 1,681 calendar days after award. This solicitation is being advertised as "Unrestricted" for full and open competition. This source selection procurement requires both non-price (technical and past performance) and price proposals and will utilize the best value continuum process at FAR 15.101-1, Tradeoff. The basis for evaluation and evaluation factors for award will be included in the solicitation. Large business concerns are required to submit a subcontracting plan prior to award of the contract. The appropriate Northern American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 237990 – Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, and the Small Business Size Standard is $39,500,000. In accordance with DFARS 236.204, the magnitude of construction for this project is between $100,000,000 and $250,000,000. This office anticipates award of a contract for these services by August 2022. The original Sources Sought Notice was published to SAM.gov on 01 February 2022 with a response due date of 15 February 2022. After revising the size and scope/complexity requirements to better align with the requirements of the project to be solicited, a revised Sources Sought Notice was published to SAM.gov on 03 February 2022 with a response due date of 17 February 2022. The intent of the Sources Sought Notice was to seek eligible Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and/or Women-Owned Small Businesses to determine the opportunity for a set-aside. The Government invited contractors with the relevant experience necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements to submit a capabilities package, to include the Sources Sought Contractor Information Form, and the Sources Sought Project Data Form, demonstrating the ability to perform the requested services. Two (2) responses were received, and neither response met the requirements. Based on the market research conducted for this procurement, there is not a reasonable expectation that two or more capable small businesses will propose on this requirement. Successful award and completion of the requirements can be achieved by soliciting this contract as full and open competition, as stated in the DD2579, Small Business Coordination Record. The NAVFACSYSCOM Atlantic Deputy Associate Director for Small Business concurred with the recommendation on 01 March 2022. On 01 March 2022, the Small Business Administration (SBA) Procurement Center Representative (PCR) approved the DD2579. The Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued on or about 29 March 2022. All documents will be in Adobe PDF file format and downloadable from the PIEE and Sam.gov websites. The official address to the solicitation is https://piee.eb.mil and https://www.sam.gov. Contractors are encouraged to register for the solicitation when downloading from the website. Only registered contractors will be notified by email when amendments to the solicitation are issued. A free Acrobat Reader, required to view the PDF files, can be downloaded from the Adobe website.
