This announcement is for the design and build renovation for the SATCOM Earthlink Facility Room 110 located at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The contractor shall comply with all base security requirements. A firm fixed price contract will be awarded to a prime construction contractor. The magnitude of this project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. PROPOSAL PERIOD: The solicitation is scheduled for release on or about June 20, 2012. The proposals will be due on or about July 23, 2012. Contract award is scheduled on or about September 06, 2012. PROJECT SCOPE: USACE Middle East District has a requirement to design and construct the build-out/renovation for the SATCOM Earthlink Facility Room 110 located at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. Work to the existing room 110 will include adding raised flooring and finishing gypsum wallboard to accommodate an acoustical drop ceiling thirteen feet above the raised floor. Work in room 110 will also include removing an existing garage door and replacing it with exterior double doors with matching exterior facade. Work will also include partitioning a mechanical room located within room 110 with a separate single exterior door entrance as well as upgrading the HVAC, electrical, communications and fire protection systems. PROPOSAL PROCEDURES: The solicitation will be a Request for Proposal (RFP). Copies will not be released to suppliers, subcontractors, or plan rooms. Contract award will be based upon a best value analysis of all proposals. The evaluation criteria will be conveyed within the RFP.

Since the contract will be funded by a military construction appropriation 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. Offers from firms that do not qualify as United States firms will be evaluated by adding twenty percent to the offer.
