This document is an attendance list for the Yazoo Backwater Pumping Plant Industry Day held on April 23, 2026. It lists attendees from various companies, including their names, email addresses, company names, Cage codes, business sizes (Small/Large), small business designations (e.g., WOSB, 8(a)), whether they are interested in subcontracting opportunities and for which trades, and whether they attended in person or virtually.

This list is relevant to potential bidders as it provides contact information for companies that attended an industry day related to the Yazoo Backwater Pumping Plant. It can be used to identify potential subcontractors, partners, or competitors who have expressed interest in the project and may have specific capabilities or trades they are willing to subcontract. The list also indicates which companies are interested in subcontracting opportunities, which can be valuable for prime contractors seeking to fulfill subcontracting goals.

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) to gather industry feedback and insights to refine the acquisition strategy and technical requirements for an upcoming construction project at the Yazoo Backwater Pumping Plant. The feedback will shape a more effective final solicitation.

• Project Site: Located in a rural area with limited public utilities and subject to flooding. Bidders are asked about needs for laydown areas, temporary utilities, and security/access control.
• Logistics: The Yazoo River may be used for transport of heavy equipment. Bidders should identify offloading facility needs and draft requirements. Delivery of borrow material from up to 6 miles away is also a consideration.
• Supply Chain & Risks: Bidders are asked to identify potential supply chain, transport/delivery, temporary storage, and Buy America Act compliance risks for items including structural steel, piling, large pumps and motors, mass concrete, and an overhead crane.
• Contracting Approach: The government is considering incremental funding leading to multiple contracts for Civil Site Work, Inlet/Outlet Channels, and Pumping Plant Construction. Feedback is sought on structuring or phasing work for incremental funding.
• Site Prep/Excavation Strategy: The government is considering a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) and is seeking feedback on three potential structures for Site Preparation/Foundation and Channel Excavation.
• Pumping Plant Acquisition: A two-phase strategy using Pre-Qualification of Sources is being considered, including an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) phase with a stipend. Feedback is requested on this approach.

This RFI directly influences the final solicitation by seeking detailed responses on capabilities, technical solutions, and acquisition approaches. Specific questions address potential risks, logistical challenges, and contracting strategies that will inform the final requirements and structure of the procurement.

• Project Location: Shows the geographical area of the project and the proposed pumping plant site.
• Three Construction Contracts: Outlines three distinct contracts:
  • Contract #1 (Site Preparation - Foundation): Up to $50M, focusing on site access, clearing, grading, and foundation work. Awarded via a Competitive Best Value Trade Off (BVTO) Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC).
  • Contract #2 (Channel Excavation): Up to $100M, involving clearing, cofferdams, mass excavation, and armoring of inlet and outlet channels. Consideration is being given to combining this with Contract #1 under a single SATOC.
  • Contract #3 (Pumping Plant Construction): Over $1B, encompassing civil/geotechnical, structural, and mechanical/electrical/architectural elements, including 14 axial-flow pumps. This contract will use a two-phase acquisition strategy: Pre-Qualification of Sources followed by a competitive solicitation for pre-qualified offerors, with Early Contractor Involvement (ECI).
• Technical Questions / Market Research: Poses specific questions to industry regarding self-performance, site logistics, material transport, supply chain risks, and contract structuring for incremental funding. This indicates the government is actively seeking industry input on acquisition strategies and technical approaches.
• Follow Up Instructions: Informs interested prime contractors about one-on-one sessions from April 27 to May 1, 2026, for individual industry input, with registration required by April 23, 2026.
