- Description
- General. This is a notice of sole source intent by the US Army Corps of Engineers Mobile District, to modify contract no. W91278-08-C-0021 with Hensel Phelps Construction Co. to provide facilities operations and maintenance services for the US Southern Command Headquarters and supporting facilities in Miami-Doral, FL for a period of one-year, from 01 Oct 2010 through 30 Sep 2011. This proposed contract modification is an out of scope modification to Hensel Phelps contract that was awarded in April 2008 with expected completion by October 2010. It is the Governments intent to provide for essential facilities operations and maintenance service for a one-year period while the existing Army public works activity relocates, expands its capacities, becomes familiar with the new facilities, and develops a more comprehensive facilities operations and maintenance solicitation to be advertised and awarded not later than Sep 2011. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals, however, all information received within fifteen days after publication of this notice will be considered by the Government. Description of Work. The modification would include firm fixed price for 24-hour facilities operations, maintenance, and emergency repair/response services for all US Southern Command and US Army Garrison Miami real property facilities, components and systems, and selected improved grounds maintenance ( roads, parking, storm water retention, utilities, security fencing and related equipment ). It may include a limited cost plus capacity to estimate scope/cost, design, and perform minor maintenance and repair projects not covered by new construction warranties and/or minor alteration projects to meet new operational requirements. It will not include landscape maintenance, custodial services, or utilities services. The facilities complex supported by this modification is a new $400-million campus style complex, expected to be complete on 30 September 2010, that includes three complex, state-of-the-art multi-purpose and command and control facilities totaling over 630,000 square feet, all supporting roads, parking, drainage, storm water retention, utilities, back-up power and other supporting infrastructure. The complex is located on a government secured 55-acre site in Miami-Doral, FL and will support over 2,800 government employees and contractors that make up Headquarters, US Southern Command (one of six regional US Combatant Commands critical to national security) responsible for command and control of US military operations in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as US Army Garrison Miami, and a diverse array of other supporting tenants and activities. The site will be secured and require appropriate government background checks and identification for access; with some areas requiring a Secret security clearance and/or escorted access. The national significance of this site and of the functions it supports requires a unique and significantly high degree of response, urgency, and expertise. US Army Garrison - Miamis current public works activity is only staffed to coordinate basic building management services for 220,000 square feet of leased facilities through full service leases; and will be further over-burdened with lease vacation requirements and relocating their and US Southern Commands entire operations Oct 2010 Feb 2011. As such, it does will not have the capacity to provide the extensive technical information, training and other assistance normally required to solicit, award and supervise start-up of a comprehensive facilities operations and maintenance contract no later than 01 Oct 2010, with a contractor that is not already inherently familiar with the complex facilities. Based on current construction contract requirements and schedule, the detailed facilities technical specifications and data for these complex new facilities will not be available and turned over to the Government until the final two months prior to beneficial occupancy and relocation. As such, combined with the Armys severely limited public works capacities, this information would not be available prior to beneficial occupancy; and therefore would not be available to include in a request for proposal in time to meet the Governments need for services not later than Oct 2010. Hensel Phelps, as the prime contractor who designed and constructed these complex facilities, is intimately familiar with the facilities and has the unique knowledge and expertise to provide effective and efficient facilities operations and maintenance services described above, without the benefit of complete and detailed facilities technical specifications and data or intensive government provided technical assistance and training at start-up, which is currently beyond the Governments capacity to provide. Hensel-Phelps is also uniquely empowered to perform the anticipated extensive warranty management and service with equipment manufacturers and installers during the first year of occupancy. Future Acquisition Strategy & Contracting Opportunities. The Government intends to expand public works capacities by Jan 2011 and develop a comprehensive facilities operations and maintenance solicitation that will be advertised through appropriate competitive contracting processes. The Army anticipates advertising this requirement for interested contractors in April 2011, and awarding a contract in September 2011 for performance period Oct 2011-Sep 2012 with additional option years. This announcement is in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, for Other Than Full & Open Competition. This notice is not a request for offers. A determination not to compete this proposed procurement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Firms interested in being considered shall provide information regarding their capabilities and experience to perform the requirements as well as past performance of similar work, to include project location and names and telephone numbers of customer points of contact. Experience shall include facilities operations and maintenance on comparable facilities of comparable size and complexity, as well as experience with other US Army or DoD organizations/installations facilities operations and maintenance systems. Written notification and supporting documentation regarding this action may be submitted in writing to: US Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile, ATTN: CESAM-CT-C (Shirley West), P.O. Box 2288, Mobile, AL 36628-0001 or Shirley.a.west@usace.army.mil. Responses must be received within 15 calendar days of publication of this synopsis. The Government will not pay for any material provided in response to this synopsis nor return the data provided. A solicitation is not available.
