Market Research and Sources Sought Notice for information on capability and availability of contractors to perform new construction for USACE customer at Gautier, Mississippi. The purpose of this Market Research and Sources Sought Notice is to acquire information on the number and capability of qualified Small Business and Large Business firms interested in a prospective procurement of construction services at Gautier, Mississippi. This is a Sources Sought Notice, NOT a solicitation announcement. Accordingly, no contract award will result from this Sources Sought Notice, as it does not constitute a commitment by the Government. Responses to this Sources Sought Notice will be used by the government in making an appropriate acquisition decision. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, anticipates designing and constructing a Nanofiltration Water Treatment Plant located in Gautier, Mississippi. The City of Gautier’s existing Ion Exchange Water Treatment Plant is located at the public works department on 3305 Vancleave Road. The treated water from this plant at times has a brown tint. The City wants to add a nanofiltration unit as a treatment alternative to the ion exchange system. Nanofiltration is a relatively new technology for potable water generation that uses a membrane filtration process to remove harmful contaminates. The Nanofiltration treatment system will consist of 4 treatment trains (1 MGD each) and will be housed within a building that will be built on the concrete parking lot near the existing ion exchange tank. The contractor will install the treatment trains, install the underground piping, construct the building enclosure and the concrete pad, construct the clean-in-place system, and install the sodium hypochlorite system (disinfection) and the electrical components necessary to run the Nanofiltration treatment trains. The Nanofiltration treatment trains are expected to remove a sufficient amount of contaminants causing the water color to be brownish at times so that water does not look dirty and the people who rely on the City’s public water system will have greater confidence in the public drinking water and not unnecessarily use alternative water sources. The City of Gautier has provided a conceptual design which will be made available “for information only”. The contractor shall be responsible for locating/verifying all utilities and making any necessary design considerations prior to design completion and construction. It is desired to leave utilities in place to the extent possible, with only minor realignments anticipated, if any. The water treatment facility is the primary wastewater treatment facility for the City of Gautier and must remain in operation during this construction. The facility may have other upgrades ongoing by contract within the facility. Space must be identified during design for material laydown, parking and office trailer that will not impede the daily facility operations or expansions and as close as feasible to the construction area. The prospective procurement will involve awarding a design and construction contract in the range of $1-$5 million. Additionally, the project must be completed within 16 months after the Notice-to-Proceed is issued. Sources being sought are firms with a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code of 237110 with a Small Business Size Standard of $45 million. Responses should include the following information and shall not exceed a total of ten (10) pages: 1. Offeror's name, address, points of contact with telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. 2. Business size/classification to include any designations as Small Business, HUBZone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned, 8(a), Women-Owned shall be indicated on first page of submission. 3. Bonding capability (construction bonding level per single contract/task order and aggregate construction bonding level, both expressed in dollars along with current available bonding capacity. 4. Past Performance Information that documents the respondents experience performing projects similar to that described above. The referenced projects should be of similar scope and magnitude and should have been completed within the last eight years. Information should be provided in the form of Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) or by providing the following information: Project title, location, general description of the construction to demonstrate similarity to the project listed above, the Offeror's role (i.e., prime contractor, subcontractor, etc.), dollar value of contract, duration, and name of the company, agency or government entity for which the work was performed with contact information (reference name, phone number and e-mail address).
