- This solicitation will result in two (2) separate contracts, herein known as Contracts 1 and 2. Both contracts are described in greater detail in the paragraphs below. Both contracts will include Two Step source selection procedures. Contracts 1 and 2 will include the same Step 1 source selection factors. As a result, contractors will only need to submit one Step 1 technical proposal in order to be considered for Contracts 1 and 2. However, Contracts 1 and 2 will contain different Step 2 source selection factors. The requirement of these projects is for the procurement of construction firms to provide all labor, material, equipment, and supervision necessary for construction of a new Training Center located in Virginia. The new Training Center includes a combination of classroom/administrative facilities and hands-on special spaces such as simulation labs, fitness center, high-speed driving tracks, indoor/outdoor firing and explosive ranges, mock urban environments, and other entities that will be constructed on approximately 1,400 acres in Virginia. The work anticipated under these contracts consists of site preparation, installation of utilities and infrastructure, demolition, roadway construction, tactical venue construction, office and classroom construction, and driving track construction. The work is phased to deliver training venues for use in training as early as possible. Any general contractor and subcontractor who require access to classified information must also have a Secret facility clearance and provide specific individuals (in designated disciplines) with Secret personnel security clearances. The general contractor and subcontractor are responsible for the cost of obtaining the clearance(s). Offerors may submit proposals for Contract 1, Contract 2 or both.

Contract 1 includes an explosives demonstration range, live-fire shoot house, mock outdoor urban training (MOUT) area, rappel tower, tactical maze, and smoke house. Included with each venue are associated site-work and infrastructure necessary for general accessibility to the site parcels, and integration of utilities and infrastructure shared in common with off-site venues and other facilities. The estimated cost range of this project is over ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00), will be a firm fixed price type contract, and the procurement method will be a competitive negotiated Request for Proposal (RFP). The successful offeror will be required to utilize GSA's computer software ePM system (Electronic Project Management) to communicate with the entire team regarding the status of contract administration issues. Award for Contract 1 is expected to be made in late June 2015. The contract period will be approximately 365 calendar days. Contract 2 includes a Base and Option and consists of venues that will require minimal site work or infrastructure.

The Option includes an administration office and classroom building, two high-speed driving tracks, mock urban driving track, unimproved road driving course, vehicle maintenance shop, post blast training range, site-work for balance of the site, and infrastructure for all venues previously constructed and for those to be constructed, up to the point of the building connection.

The third phase will consist of GSA's request of offerors to provide Step 2 technical proposals, as well as price proposals, for Contract 1. For the fourth phase, Contract 1's Step 2 technical proposals and price proposals will be received and reviewed. If award is not made on initial offers, the fifth phase includes a competitive range of offerors will then be determined on the basis of technical qualifications identified in the solicitation, along with price, and will include all proposals that have a reasonable chance of being selected for award.
