The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Pittsburgh District is conducting Market Research to determine the business size and capabilities of potential sources for replacing the existing Oak Pump Station and to rehabilitate portions of the existing sanitary sewer collection system at Berlin Lake Mill Creek Recreation Area, Berlin Lake, Mahoning County, Ohio. The approximate duration of the contract is anticipated to be in the range of 365 calendar days. The estimated construction magnitude per FAR Part 36.204(f) is between $1,000,000.00 to $5,000,000.00. The information gathered will be used by the Government to make appropriate acquisition decisions. SCOPE OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District, is carrying out a project to replace the existing Oak Pump Station and to rehabilitate portions of the existing sanitary sewer collection system at the location referenced above. The major features of the Project generally involves the following: a. Demolition and proper disposal of the existing Oak Pump Station and installation of a new, pre-packaged commercially available submersible duplex pump station. - The existing station has tested positive for lead coatings. - The new station, appurtenances, and connections will be constructed in the same location as the existing station. - An Ohio Permit-to-Install (PTI) permit is being secured by the Government for the new station and the contractor will have to comply with any requirements of the permit. b. A gravel driveway for station access and a security fence. c. Lining and repair rehabilitation work of portions of the existing sanitary sewer collection system. This affects approximately 10 manholes and 2,000 feet of 6 to 8-inch sewers. - Asbestos containing materials are presumed to be present in all or portions of the existing pipes. The work is to be performed entirely on Government property which consists of a public campground and two USACE field offices. The campground is open from mid-May to mid-September, while the two USACE field offices are open year-round. Project physical construction is proposed to take place in the campground off-season period between September 2023 and May 2024. This would allow the Contractor to perform construction with no interaction with the campground users. Disposal of construction waste material will be disposed of at commercially permitted facilities licensed to accept waste or recyclable materials as applicable.
