    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Army, is conducting a Sources Sought Synopsis to gather information for the hypothetical removal of a railroad bridge located in the Bay Area, California. The project involves dismantling a vertical lift steel bridge that is no longer in use for rail traffic, with two disposal options: transporting materials for reuse or recycling versus local disposal. This initiative is crucial for assessing market capabilities for heavy and civil engineering construction services, with an estimated project budget ranging from $5 million to $10 million. Interested contractors, particularly small businesses and veteran-owned entities, are encouraged to submit their qualifications and proposed methodologies by 3:00 PM Pacific Time on November 6, 2024, to Karen Smith at karen.smith@usace.army.mil.

    HYPOTHETICAL BRIDGE REPAIR - MARKET RESEARCH.pdf
    The federal government is conducting a Sources Sought Synopsis/Request for Information (RFI) as part of market research for a hypothetical project involving the removal of a railroad bridge in the Bay Area. The aim is to gather information from interested contractors, particularly small businesses, including veteran-owned entities. The project involves dismantling a vertical lift steel bridge, which is no longer in use for rail traffic, and consists of two alternatives for material disposal: transporting items for reuse or recycling versus disposal locally. Key project details include crane setup, removal methodologies, transportation of materials, and specific qualifications of responding firms. The estimated budget for the project ranges between $5 million and $10 million. Interested parties are urged to submit their responses detailing their capacities and methodologies before a specified deadline. This initiative emphasizes the government's intent to gather insights without committing to a formal contract at this stage, with the formal solicitation anticipated in April 2027. The RFI serves as a preliminary step in assessing market capabilities for this construction endeavor.
