ENTIATE NFH - Rehabilitation of Well#1 Facility

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a separately written solicitation will not be issued. Outlined below is a brief description of the critical matters requiring attention.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Entiat National Fish Hatchery, located at 6970 Fish Hatchery Drive, Entiat, Washington 98822, is procuring construction services for the rehabilitation of Well #1 in order to restore the well to its original design conditions. The scope of work includes removing the existing well motor, pump, and line shaft from a 75-foot-deep well, followed by cleaning and rehabilitating the well casing. The pump is currently set at a depth of approximately 60 feet, and the well consists of a 20-inch slotted casing.

The purpose of this project is to restore the structural and operational integrity of Well #1 to achieve an estimated production capacity of approximately 400 gallons per minute (GPM) at 25 pounds per square inch (psi). Currently, Well #1 is producing approximately 175 GPM at 5 psi, which is significantly below the original performance levels. Rehabilitation is required due to deterioration of the existing internal white coating, which is peeling and contributing to reduced efficiency and water pooling within the well system.

The Contractor must have demonstrated technical approach and experience in commercial well rehabilitation or well overhaul projects, including removal and reinstallation of well pumps and motors, mechanical cleaning of well casings, and performance of activities necessary to restore capacity and operational performance. See the solicitation (section L& M) and Statement of Work (SOW) with attachments for more information.

The construction magnitude is estimated to be between $40,000 to $55,000.00.
