The US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, in collaboration with Customs and Border Protection, seeks a contractor for hydrovac excavation services near Santa Teresa, New Mexico. The project involves the safe excavation of a gas pipeline using hydrovac methods, preferred for their safety and precision compared to traditional techniques. The excavation will target a 10-foot radius around the gas pipeline, reaching a depth of 20 feet, during the April/May timeframe, possibly at night. Contractors must be certified and equipped with necessary hydrovac equipment, including high-pressure water and vacuum systems. Deliverables consist of a proposed excavation procedure, the actual excavation work, depth confirmation, and invoicing for the services rendered. Stringent security and sustainability requirements dictate that all personnel comply with Department of Defense and Army security protocols, undergo requisite training, and use the E-Verify Program for employment eligibility. No sustainable products will be involved in the contract's execution. The initiative emphasizes the importance of safety and regulatory compliance in supporting the excavation activities along the US-Mexico border.
