This presolicitation will be posted for 16 days. 6. Contracting Office Points of Contact. Holly Hlavac, Contract Specialist, Holly.Hlavac@usda.gov 7. Contract Background and Description. The existing sewer systems at both sites are of considerable age, nearing the end of useful service life, and have been incurring increased maintenance costs to address clogging and freezing issues. The existing sewer line at Lake George is made of clay pipe and the joints have become offset overtime allowing for root penetration into the sewer line. This results in clogging issues that must be regularly cleaned. The new sewer line will resolve this issue. The existing sewer line at Monument is too shallow and generally freezes over the winter, which renders the bathroom facilities in the Classroom building unusable. The new sewer line installed at a greater depth will resolve this issue. These sites are open and accessible year-round by highway legal vehicles. Approximate site elevations are approximately 7,100 feet at Monument and 8,100 feet at Lake George. Winter conditions (freezing temperatures, snow fall, frozen ground, etc.) can be anticipated approximately October through April. Cellular phone service is generally available at both sites. Scope of Work The project scope of work generally consists of the following: Lake George Work Center Installation of new sanitary sewer service lines from the Brown House and Office buildings to the existing septic tank. Associated and ancillary work includes mobilization, quality control, project management and coordination, utility abandonment/demolition, site demolition, excavation, trenching, backfill, and site surface restoration. Refer to the Project Manual/Specification and Construction Drawings for a full depiction of the work. Monument Fire Center Installation of new sanitary sewer service lines from the Classroom building to an existing sewer manhole. Removal and replacement of existing site water hydrants. Associated and ancillary work includes mobilization, quality control, project management and coordination, utility abandonment/demolition, site demolition, excavation, trenching, backfill, and site surface restoration. Refer to the Project Manual/Specification and Construction Drawings for a full depiction of the work. 8. Project Location.
