- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT, A MARKET SURVEY FOR WRITTEN INFORMATION ONLY. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION ANNOUNCEMENT FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED FROM THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. NO REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE MADE FOR ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT OR ANY FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION REQUESTS. No telephone calls will be accepted requesting a bid package or solicitation. There is no bid package or solicitation. In order to protect the procurement integrity of any future procurement, if any, that may arise from this announcement, information regarding the technical point of contact will not be given and no appointments for presentations will be made. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District, is conducting market research to identify potential certified Small Business sources in any of the following categories: U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) certified 8(a), HubZone Small Business (HubZone), Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Business and/or Small Business (SB) sources with current relevant qualifications, experience, personnel, and capability of performing Design-Bid-Build construction services for Welch Elementary School/Dover Air Base Middle School Replacement, located at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware (a restricted access installation). The magnitude of this construction project will be between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. DESCRIPTION: The proposed project is for the construction of Welch Elementary School/Dover Air Base Middle School Replacement, located at Dover Air Force Base, DE. The new facility will be constructed adjacent to the existing elementary/middle school. The MULTI story structure will be comprised of approximately 105,550 square feet. The project will utilize clear span (up to 65') or similar construction methods to allow large, open, flexible spaces and will incorporate fully integrated acoustical rated operable wall partitions which contribute to the overall acoustical performance of the building. The facility will include several spaces with a required STC rating of 60 and numerous spaces with STC ratings of 45 so proper implementation of the acoustical design is a significant aspect of the project. The project will include 21st Century School concepts such as learning neighborhoods, central hubs surrounded by learning studios, flex labs, science labs, information center, gymnasium, food service area, computer lab, supply areas, specialist rooms, art rooms, music rooms, a performance/commons/dining area, learning impaired rooms, teacher work rooms, counseling areas, storage, administrative offices and other required areas for a fully functioning facility. The project will include several technical items not found in standard administrative facilities such as demonstration PV panels, demonstration weather station, and solar hot water collection; all of which will be connected to an energy dashboard which will display information from these features. The lighting, water use, and HVAC systems will also require data monitoring points and will also be connected to the energy dashboard. The project will require proper implementation of safety and security features including providing and installing blast resistant windows in large storefront glass areas for the exterior. Interior corridor glass will meet security requirements with one-minute delay glass. The project also includes related infrastructure such as parking areas, mechanical rooms, delivery areas, covered walkways, playgrounds and site improvements. The facility will require enhanced commissioning upon completion to validate energy performance and must obtain LEED Silver certification. Upon completion of the construction of the new facility, the project will require complete demolition (approx. 126,000 sf) of the existing school (including handling and disposal of limited quantities of asbestos containing materials) and associated site restoration. The project will require the contractor to perform the new construction and demolition in phases. The construction site is adjacent to an active school campus and the contractor will be required to ensure site safety and prevent student and public access. School functions will not be interrupted which could require after hours utility connections and/or scheduling weekend work for noise disturbances that could affect student testing. This will ensure current school functions are continuous and not disrupted during construction. The contract duration for both new construction and demolition is anticipated at 730-calendar days. TYPE OF SET-ASIDE: N/A. The purpose of this solicitation is to identify potential certified Small Business sources. CONSTRUCTION MAGNITUDE: The magnitude of this construction project will be between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000.
