Description

Pre-solicitation Notice HUBZone Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) for General Purpose Warehouses (GPW) in the Southeast Region (AL, FL, GA, KY, MS, NC, SC, TN) The Contract Specialist for this solicitation will be Shelley Calderon, 817-886-1090; or by e-mail at shelley.a.calderon@usace.army.mil. FOR INFORMATION ONLY: This project is required by the Armys Military Construction (MILCON) Transformation initiatives under the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), the Global Defense Posture Realignment (GDPR) (formerly known as Integrated Global Presenc e Basing Strategy (IGBPS)), the Army Modular Force (AMF) program, and the Armys Grow the Force (GTF) initiative. The Army must posture facilities to effectively orient combat capabilities where they can most effectively organize, train, and deploy to sup port ongoing operations worldwide. The Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management (ACSIM) has challenged the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to find ways to streamline its acquisition and construction processes in order to reduce costs and speed up overall delivery of projects, while at the same time providing quality facilities. The Army requires a minimum 15% reduction in cost and a minimum 20% reduction in time to occupancy. USACE, in response thereto, created eight Centers of Standardi zation (COS) that are not only the design centers of expertise but also will become the acquisition experts for the facility types for which the COS is assigned. Forty-one facility types were identified for standardization. Of those forty-one, SWF has be en assigned responsibility for the Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing (UEPH), Basic Training (BT) Barracks, Advanced Individual Training (AIT) Barracks, Central Issue Warehouses and General Purpose Warehouses. SWF has also been requested by Army to provide a standard barracks design for the newly designated Warrior in Transition WIT) facilities. The primary execution of the work under the SWF COS responsibility will be based on facility-type Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. The IDIQ contracts are based around current known requirements within four (4) geographic regions identified as Northwest (CO, IA, ID,IL, IN, KS, MI, MN, MO, MT, NE, ND, OH, OR, SD, UT, WA, WI, WY); Northeast (CT, DC, DE, MA, MD, ME, NH, NJ, NY, RI, VA, VT, WV); Southwest (AR, AZ, CA, LA, NM, NV, OK & TX); and Southeast (AL, FL, GA, KY, MS, NC, SC, TN) for an approximate value in excess $3.1 billion. SCOPE OF WORK: General Purpose Warehouse (GPW) or other similar facilities: GPWs will provide a building capable of meeting the Department of the Armys general purpose warehousing requirements. The facility will be capable of supporting the storage of various equipme nt and materials, up to a Moderate-hazard level. GPW facilities may have substantially differing design and operational requirements in order to meet the Armys needs on a worldwide basis. The facility type will provide an acceptable relationship between actual equipment dimensions, performance characteristics and the building dimensions. GPWs are intended to be similar both functionally and technically to private sector industrial warehouses. It is the intent of Government to issue design-build Reques t for Proposals (RFPs) under the contracts awarded as a result of this solicitation, which may be used as the basis for subsequent RFPs/task orders at the same or other installations within the region, i.e., adapt-build and/or as fully-designed RFP/task orders CONTRACT INFORMATION: This solicitation will be evaluated under the Two Phase Design Build Process. In Phase 1, interested firms or joint venture entities (referred to as Offerors) may submit certain specified performance capability proposals, demonst rating their capability to successfully execute the design-build construction IDIQ contract resulting from this solicitation. The Government will evaluate the performanc e capability proposals in accordance with the criteria described in the solicitation and will select no more than 5 to compete for the contract in Phase 2 of the process. In Phase 2, the selected Offerors will submit preliminary technical design proposals for an initial task, the contract duration, a preliminary schedule and a price proposal. The Government will evaluate the Phase 2 proposals, in accordance with the criter ia described for Phase 2 in the solicitation, and award the contract to the responsible Offeror, whose proposal conforms with all the terms and conditions of the solicitation and whose proposal is determined to represent the overall best value to the Gover nment, considering technical-design quality, performance capability, and cost. To meet the minimum guarantee, the Government anticipates awarding the initial task at time of contract award unless funds are not available to award. In that case, the Govern ment will award the contract with the minimum guarantee. The following evaluation criteria listed are of descending importance and shall be used in this solicitation unless modified by amendment prior to receipt of proposals: Phase I  Specialized Experience; Past Performance; and Organization and Technical Appr oach Phase II  Volume I: Building Functional and Aesthetics; Quality of Building Systems and Materials; Site Design; and Sustainability Requirements. Volume II: Proposed Contract Duration and Summary Schedule; and Past Performance on Utilization of Sm all Business Concerns. All technical factors when combined are significantly more important than price. Estimated solicitation issue date is on or about 10/10/2007under solicitation number W9126G-07-R-0130. Phase 1 Proposals are anticipated to be due on or about 11/9/2007. (30 days from issuance of the solicitation).
