Wetland Mitigation Services, Rouses Point New York

THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE ONLY. This is not a request for proposal. Introduction The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service, Northeast and Caribbean Region, is seeking a qualified contractor to provide full wetland mitigation services in conformance with the regulatory requirements of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) contained in 33 CFR Chapter II Part 332 -Compensatory Mitigation for Losses of Aquatic Resources. A new Land Port of Entry (LPOE) is planned to be constructed at the United States/Canada border along New York State Route 11 in Rouses Point, New York approximately 1/2 mile North of the existing LPOE. The new facility will replace the existing LPOE which was constructed in 1932. The new LPOE will increase operational efficiency, enhance commercial and non-commercial vehicle and Amtrak passenger experience, and improve CBP officer safety. Approximately 4.8 acres of regulated wetland will be disturbed (by the construction of the new LPOE) with an estimated mitigation acreage requirement of 8 acres. Scope Of Work This section details the technical requirements and constraints for which the Contractor is responsible. The Contractor shall perform all services described in this Statement of Work. The Contractor shall provide design and construction wetland mitigation services in conformance with the regulatory requirements of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) contained in 33 CFR Chapter II Part 332 - Compensatory Mitigation for Losses of Aquatic Resources. When considering options for successfully providing the required compensatory mitigation plan the contractor shall consider the type and location options in the order presented below. In general, the required compensatory mitigation should be located within the same watershed as the impacted site and should be located where it is most likely to successfully replace lost functions and services, considering such watershed scale features as aquatic habitat diversity, habitat connectivity, relationships to hydrologic sources (including the availability of water rights), trends in land use, ecological benefits, and compatibility with adjacent land uses. Procure, own and maintain land within the Richelieu Watershed (within New York State). Develop a wetland mitigation work plan in compliance with regulatory requirements. Prepare and submit - An operations and maintenance plan, long term management plan, adaptive management, financial assurances and application for CWA Section 404 and 401 application. Construct new wetlands in accordance with the approved wetland mitigation plan and/or provide other compensatory wetland mitigation measures intended to fulfill GSA's permittee responsible wetland mitigation requirements. Provide ongoing monitoring of wetlands per USACE regulations (332.6 Monitoring), which includes but is not limited to: construction annual inspections, maintenance and reporting per regulatory requirements to identify any conditions that threaten the proper function and development of the newly constructed wetland. Corrective measures shall be implemented to any deficiencies in vegetative cover, berm integrity or sit hydrology. Project Period of Performance and Magnitude: This project shall be performed by an experienced contractor that has performed similar work. The estimated period of performance is 365 calendar days. The magnitude of construction for this project is between $500,000 and $1,000,000. Contract Information and Issuance This requirement will be issued FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.
