Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) Contract 11C, EAA A-2 Reservoir Seepage Pump Station S-636, Palm Beach County, Florida
This announcement is to notify industry about the Government’s intent to incorporate a brand name product requirement in an upcoming construction project. The product is the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. This product is being considered to be included in the specifications to build a seepage pump station. This announcement seeks information from industry and will only be used for preliminary planning purposes. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR OFFERS AND NO CONTRACT SHALL BE AWARDED FROM THIS SYNOPSIS. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District (SAJ) intends to include the following proprietary items in a solicitation for a construction acquisition under authority of FAR 6.302-1(c)(1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This project may include a Brand Name only component, as described below, unless the results of this sources sought notification indicates otherwise.
This notification serves three purposes: (1) to notify potential Offerors of the Government's intent to solicit a brand name only component under a future construction project; (2) to identify potential sources that can provide the brand name only item and/or equivalent; (3) notification of USACE’s intent to contract sole source for a Brand Name Only, if the market is unable to provide 'equivalent' products.
In the event no equivalent equipment exists, the Brand Name Only justification will be issued pursuant to FAR Part 6.302-1(c)(1), "Only One Responsible Source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements". A subsequent market survey will not be published in support of a Justification and Approval (J&A) for sole sourcing the resultant product(s) or system(s) in the event an equivalent product is not submitted for consideration. In such instances, the brand name or equal component will be embedded in the construction project that will be issued/solicited competitively. Only that part of the project requiring brand name components will be sole source if no sources are able to prove an equal product.
The SAJ has a portfolio of ongoing ecological programs in South Florida to include CEPP. These projects include hundreds of structures, pump stations, levees, and canals to control water movement throughout the area. All the elements are being tied, electronically, into the existing network of structures operated by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The system must operate consistently with other project features to maintain and/or improve existing levels of flood protection while enhancing environmental benefits to the system as a whole. The SFWMD Central Control System is a large, highly specialized system, which has been specifically designed for the unique requirements of remote operation of environmental restoration and flood control structures. It is required to operate reliably under all weather conditions, specifically during severe storm events when travel is extremely hazardous. The system may be considered to be a life safety critical system, in that it has a direct impact on the life safety of individuals living within the SFWMD area during a storm event due to the ability to control flooding by operation of the various gates and pumps.
This is a new contract for the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) Contract 11C, Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) A-2 Reservoir Seepage Pump Station S-636. The project is part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) with the objective to improve the quantity, quality, timing, and distribution of water flows to the central Everglades, Water Conservation Area 3 (WCA-3) and Everglades National Park (ENP). The lead federal agency is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is the local non-Federal sponsor for the project. As a requirement of the project, the contractor will be responsible for purchasing and installing a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System as part of the S-636 pump station, which consists of brand-name products.
The purpose of the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) Reservoir Phase is to construct a 240,000-acre-foot EAA reservoir and 6,500 acre-foot stormwater treatment area, and integrate with A-1 FEB operations.
The S-636 (CNT11C) Project is designed to perform two primary functions:
• Return seepage lost from the A-2 Reservoir to the C-623 (Inflow-Outflow canal)
• Manage and maintain the C-636 (Seepage Canal) within an authorized range.
Project Description:
The work includes transportation of fill material, construction of cofferdams, dewatering, excavation, construction of a new pumping station structure, construction of a box culvert integrated with the pumping station, and incidental related work.
The new pumping station (S-636) structure has a pumping capacity of 250 CFS that consists of two 50 CFS, and two 75 CFS electric motor driven pumps. The station will include a backup generator to ensure continuous operation of the station in the event of commercial power interruption.
The new pumping station is required to be constructed in dry conditions and will include installation of a cofferdam system. Installation of mechanical, electrical, and telecommunication systems are incidental to the construction of the pumping station.
The SCADA system include the following major components; incidental items supporting the installation of these major components are shown indented just below the major component:
