Insulation Resistance Testing Services

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District, is soliciting quotations from eligible small business concerns to provide insulation resistance testing, commonly referred to as megger testing, at the Opekiska, Hildebrand, Morgantown, and Point Marion Locks and Dams in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

The Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, transportation, calibrated testing equipment, tools, supplies, and incidental services necessary to inspect identified electrical cables, coordinate hazardous-energy-control activities, perform conductor-to-conductor and conductor-to-ground insulation resistance testing, record the test results, restore the tested circuits, and submit final reports.

All work shall be performed in accordance with applicable industry-standard lockout/tagout procedures and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Occupational Health Requirements, EM 385-1-1, including applicable personal protective equipment (PPE) and other safety requirements. Contractor personnel shall be familiar with and comply with the applicable requirements of EM 385-1-1 throughout performance.

The Government anticipates awarding one firm-fixed-price requirement consisting of one item with a quantity of one each. The anticipated period of performance is 90 calendar days from the date of award. This acquisition is a 100 percent small business set-aside under NAICS 238210, Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors. The applicable small business size standard is $19 million.

The solicitation is available to the five existing Pittsburgh District Electrical Services Blanket Purchase Agreement holders and other eligible small business concerns. If an existing BPA holder is selected, the Government intends to issue a Call under that firm’s existing BPA. If a non-BPA small business concern is selected, the Government intends to establish an Electrical Services BPA with that firm before issuing the Call.

Quotations will be evaluated on a best-value basis considering technical capability and understanding of the requirement, qualifications and relevant experience of proposed personnel, ability to meet the required period of performance, and price. The complete solicitation requirements, submission instructions, Statement of Work, master Electrical Services BPA Statement of Work, reference drawings, photographs, applicable wage determinations, and safety requirements are provided as attachments to this notice.
