This Sources Sought Notice is for Market Research ONLY to determine the availability, capability and interest of small business firms for a potential small business category type set-aside. A previous sources sought for this same requirement was posted to SAM on 01Dec2020 under Sources Sought No. W9123821S0004. Respondents to the original posting need not resubmit the requested documentation in full again unless there are significant changes. NO AWARD will be made from this Sources Sought Notice. NO SOLICITATION, SPECIFICATIONS, OR DRAWINGS ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME as this is solely for Market Research. Please do not request such documentation. Requests for any of this information will go unanswered. If the conditions at FAR 19.502-2(b) are met the contracting officer is required to set the acquisition aside for small business concerns. If set-aside, FAR 52.219-14, requires that for general construction the small business contractor will self-perform at least 15% of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials. Accordingly, interested contractors having the skill, capabilities, workload capacity and ability to obtain bonding necessary to complete the described project (either through self-performance and/or the managing of subcontractors) are invited to provide their capability statements to the point of contact listed below. All responses will be used to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy for a potential acquisition. The purpose of this notice is to obtain a snapshot of current market capabilities and gain knowledge of potential small business sources to include small business in the following socioeconomic categories: Certified HUB Zone; Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Serviced-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB); Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) and 8(a) small business concerns to improve the Yolo bypass East Levee located in West Sacramento, CA. Other than small business is encouraged to express interest and submit capability statements as well. Contractors’ capabilities will be reviewed solely for the purpose of determining an appropriate acquisition strategy to include whether this prospective action is appropriate to be set-aside for the small business community or should proceed as an unrestricted full and open acquisition. Other than small businesses are encouraged to respond to this NOTICE to provide a greater context of current market capabilities. However, per the Federal Acquisition Regulations, preference will be given to the small business categories as listed above. In determining the acquisition strategy, the Government must ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of available contractors. The Government estimates issuing a solicitation on/around August 2022. The Government intends to award a Firm-fixed price contract with a period of performance of 365 days after NTP. In accordance with DFAR 236.204(i) the estimated magnitude of construction is expected to be between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000. The NAICS Code is 237990 Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction. The size standard is $39,500,000. Product Service Code is Y1PC Construction of Unimproved Real Property (Land). GENERAL SCOPE: The Yolo Bypass East Levee improvement project includes the construction of a combination stability/seepage berm and required levee repairs adding a subgrade drainage system (Toe-Drain) and Pump Station. All work will be completed on the landside embankment and the existing maintenance road will be reconstructed on the newly constructed berm.
