US Army Corps of Engineers, Middle East District (CETAM), will design the facilities and award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract for the construction of the facilities. The expected contract duration is 720 calendar days from Notice to Proceed. Military Construction (MILCON) appropriated funds are presently not available for this acquisition. No contract award will be made until appropriated funds are made available. All contractors shall be licensed to do business in the Kingdom of Bahrain or demonstrate the ability to be licensed at contract award and will comply with the laws and regulations of the Kingdom of Bahrain. The solicitation will be issued to prime construction contractors only and at no cost. All requests will be checked to verify the requester is a prime construction contractor. The solicitation WILL NOT be provided to subcontractors, suppliers, vendors, plan houses, or research firms; therefore, requests from these type entities are not to be submitted. The solicitation WILL NOT be available over the internet. The solicitation will be a Request for Proposal (RFP). Contract award will be based upon a Best Value Trade-Off Process Source Selection analysis of all proposals. Complete evaluation criteria will be conveyed within the RFP. The contract is to be awarded on a Firm-Fixed Price basis only. The RFP will contain DFARS provision 252.236-7010, Overseas Military Construction-Preference for United States Firms. This provision states, in part, that military construction contracts funded by a military construction appropriation that are estimated to exceed $1,000,000 and are to be performed in countries bordering the Arabian Gulf shall be awarded only to US firms, unless, the lowest responsive and responsible offer of a US firm exceeds the lowest responsive and responsible offer of a foreign firm by more than twenty percent (20%). Offers from firms that do not qualify as United States firms will be evaluated by adding 20% to the offer. To be considered a U.S. firm, the firm must: (1) be incorporated and have its corporate headquarters in the U.S.; (2) have filed corporate and employment tax returns in the U.S. for a minimum of two years (if required) and have filed State and Federal income tax returns (if required) for two years; (3) have paid any applicable taxes determined to be due as a result of such filings; (4) and employ U.S. citizens in key management positions. Joint Venture (JV) arrangements are allowed so long as the Government can classify the JV as a U.S. entity. For a JV to be considered a U.S. entity, the U.S. firm must be the controlling partner, with at least 51% vested financial interest in the JV. An organized site visit will be conducted, with attendance not mandatory but is encouraged. The Site Visit date and time that will be established is subject to change at any time due to Base Operations. To gain entry to the site preliminary requirements must be met; therefore, it is of utmost importance that each interested Offeror contact the Point of Contact (POC) designated for the Site Visit as soon as possible to allow sufficient time to coordinate and meet Site Visit requirements. The Point of Contact for the Site Visit is Mr. John D. Bishop, Resident Engineer, US Army Corps of Engineers, Manama Naval Base, Bahrain; Commercial Telephone Number 540-542-1487; E-Mail: John.D.Bishop@usace.army.mil. Information concerning the Site Visit will be provided in the RFP. Site visit attendance is limited to two (2) people per firm. To gain entry to the U.S. Naval Support Activity (NAVSUPPACT ), Bahrain, a Common Access Card (CAC) is required.
