Description: Pre-solicitation Notice HubZone Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for Administrative Facilities in the Southwest Region (AR, AZ, CA, LA, NM, NV, OK & TX ) The Contract Specialist for this solicitation will be Kathy Snell, 817-886-11 63; or by e-mail to Kathy.Snell@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 Realignm ent (GDPR) (formerly known as Integrated Global Presence 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 support 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 a nd 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 Standardization (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 identifi ed for standardization. Of those forty-one, SWF has been assigned responsibility for the Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing (UEPH), Basic Training (BT) Barracks, Advanced Individual Training (AIT) Barracks, Warrior in Transition (WIT) barracks and a ll related Administrative Buildings and Central Issue Warehouses and General Purpose Warehouses. The primary execution of the work under the SWF COS responsibility will be based on facility-type Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. T he 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: Administrative Facilities - The scope consists of but is not limited to the following administrative facilities as separate or combined tasks: The Battalion Headquarters (BN HQ) facility is comprised of administration, special functions, storage and classroom components for personnel assigned to work in those facilities. T he BN HQ is where visitors can be received and entry into the complex controlled and has a clear and convenient pedestrian access to the Barracks/Company Operations Facility (BCOFs) and Dining Facility (DFAC). BN HQ facilities shall comply with the Americ ans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) for Buildings and Facilities. BN HQs will have private offices. The BN HQ facility will provide a staff duty station at the building entrance/reception area. Every HQ BN will provide a Sec ure Communications Room with a Secret Internet Protocol Router network (SIPRNET) connectivity in accordance with latest criteria. The administrative building function is to provide soldier mission direction and operational needs requirements. This facility will operate in a similar manner as the Battalion and Brigade headquarters facilities and is intended to be similar both functionally and technically to an office building. Lawn Equipment Storage Buildings (LEB) will provide adequate storag e for maintenance equipment and materials used in the grounds-keeping and care of the BT site. The LEBs will prevent unauthorized access and protect maintenan ce equipment from outdoor elements, including rain and snow. Both the AIT and BT related construction includes Outside Areas, including a jogging track, physical training (PT) pits, vehicular and service access drives and parking areas. Exterior lighting shall be provided for parking areas, side walks, interconnecting buildings, service yards, service drives, outdoor training areas, and any required security lighting. Parking shall be provided for BN HQ staff, Company Cadre within BCOF, DFAC staf f, government and service vehicles and visitors. PT Pits will be located in close proximity of the BCOF it serves. The Soldier Family Assistance Center (SFAC) serves as a transitional facility, which bridges the gap between in the transition betwee n family assistance and assisting the soldier in personal adjustments. Soldier assistance by family members is critical element in the recovery from injuries. Child care areas, financial assistance, meeting rooms, kitchenette, chaplain and other assistan ce type functions to accommodate both the soldier and their families are provided in this facility. It is the intent of Government to issue design-build Request for Proposals (RFPs) under the contracts awarded as a result of this solicitation, wh ich 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 Tw o Phase Design Build Process. In Phase 1, interested firms or joint venture entities (referred to as Offerors) may submit certain specified performance capability proposals, demonstrating their capability to successfully execute the design-build constru ction IDIQ contract resulting from this solicitation. The Government will evaluate the performance capability proposals in accordance with the criteria described in the solicitation and will select no more than 6 to compete for the contract in Phase 2 of t he 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 accor dance with the criteria described for Phase 2 in the solicitation, and award the contract to the responsible Offeror(s), 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 Government, 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 Government will award the contract with the minimum guarantee. The following technical evaluation criteria listed are of descending importance and shall be used in this solicitation: Phase 1 Specialized Experience; Past Perfor mance; and Organization and Technical Approach; Phase 2 Volume I: Building Functional, Aesthetics and Space; Quality of Building Systems and Materials; and Sustainability Requirements. Volume II: Proposed Contract Duration and Summary Schedule; and Utilization of Small Business Concerns. All technical factors when combined are significantly more important than price. Solicitation W9126G-08-R-0163 is estimated to issue on or about 1 April 2008. Phase 1 proposals are anticipated to be due on or about 30 April 2008 (30 days from issuance of the solicitation).

Other solicitations for similar work in this same region may be advertised to meet the Governments needs for this facility type. Once the cont racts under this solicitation are awarded and there is duplicative coverage for this facility type in the same region, any requirement less than $15 million will be evaluated first for advertisement under any set-aside contract or pool of contracts prior. The Government will consider the current workload under the set-aside contract, performance on previous task orders, and the small business firms ability to obtain additional boding prior to making a determination. The total estimated contract c apacity is $28,000,000.
