Project Description: The Norfolk District, Corps of Engineers is conducting Market Research to identify potential Sources for repairs to the District’s pier, boat ramp, and dock office located at 803 Front Street, Norfolk, Virginia 23510. Repairs include construction of cathodic protection concrete encasement on existing structural pilings, installation of steel reinforcement and cast-in-place concrete repairs to existing structural piles. The repair project will also include repairs to spalling on concrete boat ramp adjacent to the main pier. The final aspect includes repairs to the utility infrastructure on the pier and in the office, to include plumbing, heat trace, electrical distribution, pier electrical systems, fire detection system, and alarm system. The project will be solicited with Definitive Responsibility Criteria (DRC). These criteria are specific and objective standards established by an agency as a precondition to award which are designed to measure a prospective contractor’s ability to perform the contract. In order to be found responsible, the apparent low bidder must demonstrate their past experience with defined work criteria. The three DRAFT criteria are: 1) Fabrication of Concrete Structures, 2) Marine Construction Experience 3) Underwater Cathodic Protection Experience, 4) Utility Repair Experience Criteria 1: Fabrication of Concrete Structures: Bidder shall provide three (3) examples of completed contracts performed in the last five (5) years fabricating concrete structures comparable to those specified at a production rate comparable to what will be required in this contract. Criteria 2: Marine Construction Experience: Bidder shall provide three (3) examples of completed contracts performed in the last five (5) years involving construction in a marine setting comparable to what will be required in this contract. Criteria 3: Underwater Cathodic Protection Experience: Bidder shall provide three (3) examples of completed contracts performed in the last five (5) years involving installation of cathodic protection systems on concrete underwater structures comparable to what will be required in this contract. Criteria 4: Utility Repair Experience: Bidder shall provide three (3) examples of completed contracts performed in the last five years (5) involving utility repair in a marine setting comparable to what will be required in this contract. The Government anticipates that the prime contractor may subcontract portions of the work. Accordingly, the Definitive Responsibility Criteria may be met through the experience of a subcontractor provided that an unequivocal commitment of the subcontractor is provided in writing conditioned only on the prime contractor being awarded the contract.
