Synopsis: Added: Jun 11, 2009 2:54 pm

The intent of this contract is to provide for heavy road maintenance of forest roads on the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The roads are located on the Snoqualmie Ranger District (North Bend and Enumclaw areas) and the Skykomish Ranger District. Heavy Road Maintenance is considered storm damaged sites that did not qualify under the Emergency Relief for Federal Owned Roads (ERFO) or deferred maintenance. This will be considered routine maintenance within the existing road prism. Existing road will be rebuilt to its approved traffic service level or will be improved to increase safety, operational efficiency or resource protection. Reconstruction includes rebuilding roads to their original standards. All road reconstruction plans, standards and specifications will provide for minimum needed road width, drainage and safe operation while incorporating measures for mitigating for resource disturbances. The overall existing condition of roads to be reconstructed is generally inadequate for resource protection or anticipated use or the road is impassable for the design of the vehicle. The majority of this contract will entail spot reconstruction where the primary disturbance is confined to a limited area, such as culvert installation, rock buttress and embankment repairs, mitigating subsurface water problem areas, rebuilding a shoulder or addition of turnouts. Areas between the reconstructed spots generally will need reconditioning (which includes but is not limited to; reshaping and processing the road surface, ditches, brushing the shoulders and treating danger trees). Most of the reconstruction and reconditioning is actually maintenance to restore the road to its original condition. District maps showing the road systems are available for viewing and/or purchase at the district offices in North Bend and Skykomish. Estimated issue date for the solicitation is on or about June 25, 2009. Estimated start work date is August 1, 2009 with a duration of 1080 days. The project is 100% set aside for HubZone small business concerns.

 

The resulting contract will be a performance based Indefinite Quantity Indefinite Delivery contract with a minimum guarantee of $300,000.00 and a maximum not to exceed $999,000.00. Roads will be identified on work orders for the Contractor. Level 3-5 roads will be maintained to passenger car driveability and meet the Highway Safety Act stndards.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

NATIONAL BASE CAMP OPERATION SERVICES

BACKGROUND

Pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is authorized to provide individual and public assistance under Presidential declarations of a disaster and emergency. Types of disasters and emergencies that could happen across the United States are, but not limited to: hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, cyclones, tornadoes, blizzards, acts of terrorism, tsunamis, or avalanches. The contractor shall construct and operate a base camp to stage FEMA disaster responders and other authorized personnel and assets deployed for such declarations within disaster-declared states.

OBJECTIVE

FEMA is responsible for leading the United States in preparing for, preventing, responding to, and recovering from disasters. During disaster situations, FEMA federal, state and local responders may need a place that provides shelter, food, and additional basic needs. Hence the need for the procurement of effective and efficient Base Camps is present.

The National Base Camps contract will be used at the time a Federal disaster is declared. FEMA shall be able to call upon vendor/vendors to provide Base Camp Services in the Continental United States (CONUS) depending the region affected by the disaster.

SCOPE

The scope of this Performance Work Statement includes providing base camp support services inclusive of mobilization, site preparation, installation, base camp management and operation, and demobilization as set forth herein and in task orders. Contractor shall have the ability to provide two concurrent base camps. Contractor services include:

? Base camp design;

? Site preparation;

? Installation and maintenance of all contractor provided equipment; and

? All services necessary to effectively and efficiently manage and operate the base camp.

The contractor shall house all authorized camp occupants with tents or modular units, equip tents and other facilities with air conditioning and heating (HVAC) and leveled plywood floors (or equivalent) as well as provide bedding, meal services, kitchen, dining hall, limited recreation facilities, operations center, medical unit, refrigerated trucks, shower units, hand wash units, potable (drinking) water, water purification and manifold distribution systems, toilets, on-site manifold distribution of black and grey water and associated on-site sanitation systems, complete laundry service, industrial generators, and light towers.

Keeping of these two logs in particular must be coordinated with the JFO and Region where Responder Support Camps will be located. OSHA 300 and 301 logs shall be provided to the OSHA Recordkeeping Manager on quarterly and annual basis.

Questions to include on the RFI

 

1. FEMA has in the past in most cases used tents for housing First Responders when they had to construct the camp in open spaces. Are you aware of any other options versus building a "tent city"?

2. FEMA needs the ability to reduce or increase the size of the camp in a short timeframe. Based on that what is the best method of cost migration? Is there a way to execute reductions or increases more cost effectively and time efficiently?

3. FEMA has a requirement to provide turn key housing for First Responders for a minimum of 301 and a maximum of 2000 occupants. Would you recommend phasing or modular installation?

4. What is the shortest period of time in which subcontracting for equipment and personnel needed to support the camp (maintenance) can be conducted?

5. Based on the still pending requirement that all personnel must be cleared at a minimum, fingerprinting and credit check, will this affect the time to erect a camp and turn it over for occupancy by FEMA authorized personnel? The current time is 72 hours.
