The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Omaha District intends to issue a SDVOSB Small Business Set-Aside 2 Step Invitation for Bid (IFB) that will result in a Firm Fixed-Price contract for the installation of flowmeters at the Ft. Randall Dam Powerhouse Pickstown SD. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 237110 - Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction Estimated Magnitude of Construction: Between $500,000 and $1,000,000 PROJECT SCOPE: Installation of 49 flow meters for various locations throughout the Fort Randall (FR) Dam Powerhouse. Flow meters will be used to provide generating unit permissive, alarms, and real time monitoring of cooling water flow rates. Continual monitoring will enable the FR project to identify low flow conditions due to zebra mussel and other bio matter fouling. The real time monitoring will allow FR to be proactive with unit maintenance by monitoring cooling water flow rate degradation. The meters will also be set up with permissive and alarm functions to protect generators from damaging low/no flow situations. The scope will include pipe welding, electrical wiring, scaffolding, and piping work. TWO STEP PROCUREMENT: This solicitation and resulting contract are using a Two-Step Sealed Bidding procurement method as described in FAR Part 14.5. The two-step procedure is a combination of competitive procedures designed to obtain the benefits of sealed bidding while ensuring only technically acceptable firms participate in the priced sealed bid. The process allows for the Step One technical proposal submission and evaluation to be performed concurrent with the development of the final 100% technical specifications and construction drawings. Step One ensures that only technically acceptable firms participate in the Step Two is the sealed bid process. In Step One a Solicitation is issued as a Request for Technical Proposals, is expected to be available on or about 11 August 2022 on the Federal website at https://sam.gov/ The submission requirements of the Step One, Request for Technical Proposal, shall not include any prices or pricing information. Bid bonds / guarantees are not required to be submitted with the Step One technical proposal. Under this bidding process Step One consists of the request for, submission, evaluation, and (if necessary) discussion of a technical proposal. Only one technical proposal may be submitted by each offeror. The proposals are evaluated for technical acceptability. The technical proposal must not include prices or pricing information. A notice of “acceptable” or “unacceptable” will be forwarded to each Step One offerors upon completion of the technical proposal evaluation and final determination. The names of the offerors that submitted acceptable technical proposals will be listed on the Government’s https://sam.gov website for the benefit of prospective subcontractors. In Step Two, an amendment to the solicitation will be issued with the final 100% technical specifications and construction drawings to only those offerors whose technical proposals are determined to be acceptable in Step One. The normal sealed bid process in FAR Part 14 will be followed. In the second step, only bids based upon technical proposals determined to be acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. Each bid in the Step Two must be based on the bidder's own technical proposal that was submitted, evaluated, and determined to be acceptable in Step One. Bidders must comply with the 100% technical specifications and construction drawings and the bidder’s acceptable technical proposal. Bid bonds will be required to be submitted with the Step Two with bid submission. Payment and Performance Bonds will be required for the full amount (100%) at the time of the contract award before the NTP can be issued.
