PRESOLICITATION NOTICE Senator Wash Pumping Plant Access Road and Ferguson Road Repairs This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice with the intent of synopsizing a proposed contract action prior to issuance of the solicitation. This requirement is being procured in accordance with Part 15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) in conjunction with Part 36.3 of the FAR as a two-phase design-build selection solicitation. The Bureau of Reclamation intends to issue a competitive total small business set-aside solicitation for this requirement. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The principal components of the work are listed under the project description below: The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), Yuma Area Office, (YAO) has a requirement to repair Senator Wash Pumping Plant Access Road and Ferguson Road. This project aims to ensure continued access to critical infrastructure, including the Senator Wash Pumping Plant and nearby public facilities, while ensuring safety and durability of the roads. This Design Build project will include the design and construction necessary to repair Senator Wash Pumping Plant Access Road and Ferguson Road using heavy rehabilitation methods. These roads serve vital functions in providing access to public campgrounds, an RV park, the Senator Wash Pumping Plant, and an electrical power substation. Ferguson Road spans approximately 1.25 miles with an average width of 24 feet. This public road connects to Senator Wash Road and serves as a major access point for recreational facilities. The road is severely deteriorated, exhibiting surface rutting and raveling. Senator Wash Pumping Plant Access Road (SWPPA Road) runs approximately 0.5 miles and averages 24 feet in width, although the width varies slightly along the length of the road. This access road, essential for operations at the Senator Wash Pumping Plant and an electrical power substation, also has severe surface deterioration, with significant raveling throughout. Sections of SWPPA Road are located along an embankment and lack adequate guardrails, necessitating the installation of new safety barriers. The work is expected to involve: 1. Site Engineering Investigations (SEI): SEI to include subsurface investigations, geotechnical investigation/analysis, topographical surveys, and SEI Report outlining findings and recommendations. 2. Environmental compliance with local, state, and federal standards. 3. Concept Design Workshop (CDW) and Report: A half-day CDW meeting to be held to review findings, and recommendations of the SEI report and to discuss the Designer of Record (DOR) heavy rehabilitation method recommendations for government approval. 4. Design with deliverables that include drawing plan set, specifications, basis of design report, engineering design calculations, construction cost estimate, and associated permits. Design to include a heavy rehabilitation method such as Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) with an asphalt concrete overlay for a minimum 25-year pavement design life. 5. Traffic control measures will be required. These measures will need to consider potential work during the winter (cooler) months (October through April) when vehicular traffic increases significantly in the area and allowing access to existing local facilities. 6. Installation of new guardrails and drainage improvements as necessary, particularly along the embankment sections of Senator Wash Pumping Plant Road. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision for the completion of the project. Design submittals and construction must adhere to applicable state, federal, and Bureau of Reclamation guidelines. Key Project Features 1. This project will be Design-Build (DB) delivery type. 2. Site Engineering Investigation (SEI) that includes subsurface investigations, geotechnical analysis, and topographical surveys for design input. 3. Asphalt Pavement Rehabilitation: Design and perform Asphalt Pavement Rehabilitation in accordance with SEI, which may include full-depth reclamation with a minimum 3¿ asphalt concrete overlay to provide a 25-year design life, and the necessary signage and striping. 4. Guardrails and Drainage: Installation of new guardrails and drainage improvements as necessary, particularly along the embankment sections of Senator Wash Pumping Plant Road. 5. Traffic Control: Detailed traffic control plan including measures to accommodate high-volume winter traffic and access to existing facilities. 6. Design Submittals: Design must comply with relevant Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) and, United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) references with approvals from the USBR. 7. Stormwater Management: Ensure compliance with local and state stormwater regulations, acquiring necessary permits.
