This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with FAR Part 12 and supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will NOT be issued. The 177th Fighter Wing has a requirement for clearing of vegetation at its Warren Grove Range, located at Route 539, Burlington County, New Jersey. The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) for this work is 561730 with a small business size standard of $7 million dollars annually. This is a 100% small business set-aside. A firm fixed price contract will be awarded.
STATEMENT OF WORK
General Requirements:
The contractor shall furnish all transportation, skilled labor, supplies and wheeled ROWMAC rotary flail clearing equipment necessary to complete the statement of work in accordance with the conditions listed. The intended result is to provide Warren Grove Range personnel with areas (fire breaks) cleared of vegetation that they can continue to maintain with their own equipment.
Rotary flail mowing has proven to be the best clearing method due to 1) the complete chipping and removal of cut product, and 2) the limited slash fire fuel load created during mowing operations. Alternate methods such as the use of a rotary axe mower type head for clearing have not provided the desired result due to the limited diameter breast height (DBH) clearing capabilities. The contractor will comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local (to include NJANG) regulations, and environmental and occupational safety requirements.
Location:
Warren Grove Gunnery Range, Route 539, Burlington County, New Jersey
Description of Service:
Contractor shall mechanically clear and chip all trees while not destroying the root system. Remove all overhanging branches to a height of at least 12 feet and clear all vegetation in areas that have been designated as fire breaks by WG Range personnel. Clear, chip and remove vegetation to approximately a 15 foot maximum width from both sides of the road edge or a maximum of 25 feet from designated single side road edge. Range personnel or other authorized personnel under contract with the Range, shall mark out specific areas that are deemed environmentally sensitive and shall not be worked upon or mowed. Equipment to be utilized must be a wheeled machine in order to minimize impact upon the environmental habitats, as proven by past contracted practices.
The finished product must be able to be mowed by a wheeled tractor driven tow behind standard rotary cutter (i.e. Brush hog). The root system for all vegetation must be preserved; NO dozing or digging will be authorized.
Estimate:
Estimate is based on a per day amount which includes equipment and labor. The contractor will schedule the days to work with WG Range personnel; this schedule will be mission-based and subject to change at any time at no additional cost to the government. The entire job must be started no earlier than 1 November 2010 and completed no later than 31 December 2010 due to nesting season(s) for identified threatened/endangered species.
Experience:
Contractor must demonstrate past performance experience working in areas adjacent to wetlands and the pinelands of NJ, and in and around threatened and endangered species. Contractor shall provide references for up to three projects accomplished within the last three years.
