Presolicitation Notice: Construction Services - Fish River and Weeks Bay Marsh Restoration

The Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is planning to solicit and award a contract for the construction of the Fish River and Weeks Bay Marsh Restoration project. This project is located in Baldwin County, Alabama on Fish River at the Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve property north of US Highway 98.

The Fish River and Weeks Bay Marsh Restoration project is an environmental restoration project that aims to degrade borrow areas and place material within previously dredged canals. The material used for filling the canals will be obtained from within the project construction site.

The project consists of three main components:

  1. Base Bid-Fill Areas 1&2: This includes on-site excavation and placement of approximately 16,947 cubic yards of clayey-sand fill within two of the previously dredged canals. Other work includes mobilization/demobilization, surveying, clearing and grubbing, debris removal and disposal off-site, erosion and turbidity control measures, and special construction signage.
  2. Bid Alternative Number 1-Fill Area 3: This involves on-site excavation and placement of approximately 1,003 cubic yards of clayey-sand fill within one of the previously dredged canals. Work required includes mobilization/demobilization, surveying, clearing and grubbing, canal fill, and erosion and turbidity control measures.
  3. Bid Alternative Number 2-Fill Area 2 Expansion Area: This includes on-site excavation and placement of approximately 1,580 cubic yards of clayey-sand fill within one of the previously dredged canals. Work required includes surveying, canal fill, and erosion and turbidity control measures.

The estimated period of performance for the completion of the project is 140 calendar days for the Base Bid-Fill Areas 1&2, with an additional 30 calendar days for Bid Alternative Number 1-Fill Area 3 if exercised, and an additional 10 calendar days for Bid Alternative Number 2-Fill Area 2 Expansion Area if exercised.

To be eligible for award, the resultant solicitation will require the Offeror to provide documentation proving residency, headquarters, or principal engagement as a business in the State of Alabama or a Gulf Coast state. The Offeror must also certify that at least twenty percent (20%) of the total labor costs under the contract will be performed by its own employees. Additionally, a list of proposed equipment to be used on the project must be provided, and the awardee will be required to perform with the same or technically equivalent equipment post-award.

The anticipated solicitation issuance date is on or about April 5, 2024, with the estimated proposal due date on or about May 6, 2024. The official solicitation number 1305M324B0001 will be issued under SAM.gov.
