- Description
- This is a Sources Sought Synopsis for market research purposes only and is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). No solicitation is being issued or requested at this time and this notice shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract, nor does it restrict the Government to a particular acquisition approach. There will not be reimbursement for any cost associated with providing information in response to this synopsis or any follow-up information requests. Submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary; the government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred. Description The United States Air Force Academy, CO seeks potential sources for a proposed government acquisition to construct/repair/restore the Planetarium (bldg.2120) at the United States Air Force Academy, CO. Built in 1959, the USAFA Planetarium was in use continuously for public and private educational functions until its closure in 2004. The purpose of the project is to renovate and upgrade the planetarium into a modernized facility capable of presenting a custom, robust, entertaining and educational experience that serves to highlight the Academy and its place in the Air Force mission by focusing on high technology and realistic mission accomplishment, and to provide a unique theater experience with air/space titles focused at the general public, as well as the capability to provide education-based content for the Academy staff and cadets. The science and technology of producing planetarium shows has advanced and requires a more advanced infrastructure and equipment to engage the audience. As such, much of the existing infrastructure including electrical, sound, acoustics, screening, controls, HVAC, and plumbing will need to be demolished to make way for a 21st century entertainment and training environment. The restoration project will return the exterior of the planetarium to the original design, and upgrade internal facilities to modernize its capabilities as noted above, to include: (1) Stripping the building back to its basic structure, including plumbing fixtures, lighting, sound, and most finishes. (2) Exterior renovations to reflect the original design, while providing contemporary materials in the interior to reflect the new Academy mission for this building. Additionally, many aspects of the original design no longer meet current code requirements and must be updated accordingly. (3) Extensive renovation to the Auditorium, including leveling of the recessed center pit for obsolete projection equipment, saw cutting concrete walls to accommodate new projection equipment, doors, duct work, and other additions. (4) Extensive renovation to the grand granite plaza and stairs. (5) Expansion of, and new finishes for Men’s and Women’s restroom facilities. (6) Significant structural and mechanical changes (including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, etc.) to accommodate the changes outlined above. The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, transportation, equipment, and supervision necessary to accomplish this project. All work shall be accomplished in accordance with requirements contained in the Drawings and Specifications. The anticipated North American Industries Classification System (NAICS) code is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction and the Small Business Administration (SBA) small business size standard is $36.5M. Magnitude of construction is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The proposed contract would be awarded to one vendor as a firm-fixed price construction contract. Current estimated completion time is 237 days. A solicitation is not available; therefore do not request a copy of the solicitation. The United States Air Force at this time is not seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Interested and qualified sources are required to provide the following information no later than 20 June 2016 (2:00 PM Mountain Standard Time) : (1) Company name, address, point of contact, telephone number and e-mail address.
