Emergency Power Plant – Fuel Storage (EPP-FS) - Cavalier SFS, ND   4

The USACE Omaha District intends to negotiate on a sole source basis for a contract modification to HCPA-GARCO JV1 in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The modification is to remediate and render inert the existing underground storage tanks that have been rendered obsolete with the construction of the new Emergency Power Plant Fuel Storage (EPP-FS) storage tanks. These Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) will need to be remediated and removed or rendered inert within a certain time period (determined by the North Dakota Tank Program Office) once EPP-FS construction is complete. Compliance with state and federal regulatory requirements, to include testing, permitting, and reporting, will be required. Additional work may include repairs to the existing underground vault housing the USTs, remediation of contaminated soils, removal of existing mechanical equipment, and associated grading and site work. The work is similar in nature to existing requirements in the contract and the contractor is currently performing a broad scope of both new construction and existing equipment integration as part of the contract. The current contract includes UST construction with associated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment, along with earthwork, and concrete. The contractor, HCPA-Garco JV, will be able to perform the entirety of the work within their current purview. The total value of current contract and executed work is approximately $19,129,000.00. The additional work is estimated to be between $500,000 and $1,000,000. This amount is approximately between 2.6% and 5.2% of the current contract and additional time specific to this modification will be added to the current contract as needed and based upon negotiations.
