This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice This project will be announced as W912DR19B0019. Project: Dalecarlia Backwash Tanks Improvements The proposed procurement is unrestricted, NAICS 237110 with a magnitude of construction between $5,000,000.00 and $10,000,000.00. The work involves the excavation and construction of concrete basins, installation and testing of required equipment to collect and control filter backwash water and the piping system to discharge it directly to DC combined sewer system or to direct it into the equalization basin. At the McMillan Plant, water from the filter backwash process is currently disposed of in a cove area of the McMillan Reservoir and it is separated from the reservoir by a silt curtain. This project involves the construction of two 330,000 gallon equalization basins as well as a pumping station that removes all water and residuals from the basins. Also included are flow channels to the equalization basins and flow pipes to the DC Water's combined sewer system along with gates, valves, flow metering and SCADA controls. Work must be performed without any disruption to plant operation or damage to existing infrastructure. Part of the work must be performed within time constrained limited outage windows. Specific work items include supply and installation of large pipes including valves and fittings, a chemical addition unit, two equalization basins, submersible pumps, electrical switchgear and associated equipment, pipes, flow meter and flow control valves etc. Hence, an experienced contractor with resources and expertise to handle the following project constraints is needed and must be capable of: I. General excavation and hauling at an industrial facility such as a water treatment plant without disrupting plant operations. II. Excavation and shoring in limited spaces removing buried and abandoned infrastructure and adjacent to active buildings and structures. III. Installation of pipes, valves, flow meters, construction of equalization basins as well as installation of submersible pumps and associated equipment. IV. Connections to active mains, sewer systems and water filtration channels under limited time constraints. V. SCADA automation programming in accordance with Federal information technology security provisions. The solicitation will be provided in an electronic format, free of charge on or about 23 August 2019, to all authenticated account holders registered with the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) System. Please note that all US Army Corps of Engineers acquisitions are considered sensitive, but unclassified documents and require users to have valid MPIN entered in the FBO systems to access package.
