- Description
- Note: This solicitation and award is restricted in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(4) International Agreement, to U.S., Danish and Greenlandic firms. Synopsis: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District intends to issue a solicitation package seeking to award a firm-fixed price contract for the upgrade of existing and installation of new fire suppression system at Alert Facility, which is a building located at the BMEWS site which is approximately 10 miles north of the main base. This will be a competitive, Invitation for Bids, bid opening. The work includes installation of a new fire suppression system for the building. The contractor will furnish all supervision, plant, labor, materials, tools, and equipment to do the work. General Conditions at Thule Air Base: The location of Thule Air Base limits exterior work to the months of June through September, although work is sometimes possible in May or October. Additionally, Thule's location demands that all supplies/personnel must be shipped/transported in/out via air/sealift. Thule Air Base is not a commercial air/sea port and there is no other access. Shipping schedules are dictated by Defense contracts, and materials and labor are not available locally. The region is glaciated and the existing soil is generally permafrost, which exists from 1 to 6 feet below the surface and to a measured depth of 1,600 feet. Average winter temperature is 20 -30 degrees F below zero while average summer temperature is 40-50 degrees F above zero. One annual military cargo sealift departs from Norfolk, Virginia to Thule AB, approximately 1 July. There are two sealifts that go from Copenhagen, Denmark to Thule AB, one in July & one in August. Airlifting any materials or equipment via military aircraft is very expensive and only on an emergency-need basis. The project magnitude is $1 - $5M. The performance period shall be approximately1 year from issuance of the Notice to Proceed (NTP).
