- NOTIFICATION OF PREQUALIFICATION PHASE This notice is to notify industry of a planned PREQUALIFICATION OF SOURCES announcement. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement or any follow up information requests. Respondents will be notified of the results of the prequalification process. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), New England District will prequalify sources for Solicitation W912WJ21R0007, Construction of a new Compound Semiconductor Lab/Microsystem Integration Facility (CSL-MIF) for MIT Lincoln Laboratory (MIT LL) located at Hanscom Air Force Base (HAFB) in Lexington, Massachusetts. Sources will be prequalified in accordance with DFARS 236.272. Under these procedures, Offerors will be required to submit information addressing information and other prequalification criteria. The Government will evaluate the prequalification information to determine a list of prequalified Offerors to which the Request for Proposal (RFP) will be sent. BACKGROUND The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory (MIT LL) is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) chartered to apply advanced technology to problems of national security. The Advanced Compound Semiconductor Laboratory and Microsystems Integration Facility (CSL-MIF) building is a Military Construction-Air Force (MCAF) project� programmed for construction in Fiscal Year 2019 but is currently projected to be constructed in Fiscal Year 2022. The project scope of work includes the construction of a new Advanced Compound Semiconductor Laboratory and Microsystems Integration Facility on the MIT LL campus, which is located on Hanscom Air Force Base (HAFB), Lexington, Massachusetts. The CSL-MIF consists of approximately 162,000 gross square feet (GSF) of new laboratory and office space which includes a Clean Room complex for use by the Advanced Technologies Division of MIT LL. The intent of the CSL is to consolidate MIT LL�s existing compound semiconductor materials growth, fabrication and characterization facilities. The intent of the MIF is to consolidate and enhance MIT LL�s facilities for the fabrication and packaging of specialized advanced electronic prototypes. These changes are necessary to effectively and efficiently ensure MIT LL can continue to apply advanced technology to problems of national security throughout the 21st Century. The building is anticipated to be three levels, and constructed using concrete foundations, a steel and reinforced concrete superstructure and energy efficient building systems, envelope, and roofing. The new building will be connected to other MIT LL buildings via a pedestrian connector bridge as part of this project. Specialized construction requirements include large and sophisticated clean rooms for microprocessor development and experimentation (the total cleanroom area under filter is approximately 35,000 net square feet, designed to Federal Standard (FED STD) 209E Class 10/International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Class 4 standards); associated complex HVAC and electrical requirements; secure communications areas; hazardous, toxic, and corrosive process liquid and gas storage, transport, distribution and associated waste collection systems; and a structural and foundation system that minimizes vibrations and noise in the lab space. The facility will be constructed to meet Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST) standards for vibration control (VC) to VC-C/D with select portions to VC-E. Required support process utilities include the following: Equipment Cooling Water (ECW), Clean Dry Air (CDA), Three (3) grades of gaseous nitrogen (N2), liquid nitrogen (LN2),� Process Vacuum (PVAC), Ultra-Pure Water � semiconductor grade (UPW), 120/208/480V single-phase and three-phase power with UPS, liquid waste treatment (pH adjustment), and abatement of hazardous exhaust streams. Site improvements will include expansion of the main chiller plant, providing a new feed from the main electrical distribution plant, access roads, relocation of existing utilities and new utility connections, landscaping, and all other work necessary to make this a complete and usable facility. Facilities are being designed as permanent construction in accordance with the Department of�Defense (DoD) Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 1-200-01, General Building Requirements. This project will comply with DoD antiterrorism/force protection requirements per UFC 4-010-01, sustainability principles in accordance with UFC 1-200-02, and High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements. Note that installation of laboratory-owned equipment and high-value tool sets will be completed by others. The contractor will be required to comply with all installation security requirements for personnel, vehicle access, and deliveries of materials. The specific requirements will be identified and included into the solicitation. DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS Each potential offeror shall submit up to two (2) projects that demonstrate: Management of the construction of microelectronics projects with cleanroom spaces with construction costs of $125M or more. Experience constructing microelectronic facilities with a minimum of 5,000 square feet of Federal Standard (FED STD) 209E Class 100 or ISO Class 5 clean rooms. Each project must have been completed within the past twelve (12) years, as of the issue date for the prequalification RFI, to be considered recent. Each project must have been completed within the past twelve (12) years, as of the issue date for the prequalification RFI, to be considered recent. When determining the acceptability of projects submitted for experience, the role performed by the potential offeror or its subcontractor will be considered for consistency with the proposed role to be performed by the potential offeror or subcontractor on the CSL-MIF project. Therefore, potential offerors must identify the role to be played by a subcontractor in its response to get �credit� for the experience of that subcontractor. For each project, potential offerors should submit experience information as follows: A narrative of the project that clearly describes the scope of work performed, and the relevancy to, the project requirements as described in the prequalification RFI. (i.e., unique features, area, construction methods, etc.). At least one project shall be provided for the potential prime offeror (the entity that will sign an SF 1442 if chosen as qualified). If the potential offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), recent and relevant project experience shall be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity. If the Joint Venture does not have experience, such projects shall be submitted for each Joint Venture partner. The Government must be confident that the potential offerors determined qualified through the experience of partners or subcontractors will have those entities available in the proposal phase. Potential offerors must submit a signed copy of their current joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, teaming agreement, approved mentor-prot�g� agreement, or letter of commitment for each member of the potential offeror's team for which experience is being demonstrated. Failure to provide agreements or letters of commitment, as applicable, may result in an �unqualified� determination. A project is defined as work performed under a single task order or contract. For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the IDIQ contract should not be submitted as a project; rather, potential offerors should submit the work performed under a task order as a project. QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: �Experience: All projects submitted, taken together as a whole, must demonstrate BOTH of the following elements for the potential offeror�s experience to be considered qualifying. Each project individually does not need to include both these elements: Management of the construction of microelectronics projects with cleanroom spaces with construction costs of $125M or more. Experience constructing microelectronic facilities with a minimum of 5,000 square feet of Federal Standard (FED STD) 209E Class 100 or ISO Class 5 clean rooms. �Bonding Capability: Additionally, offerors must submit proof of bonding capability. Those potential offerors who cannot demonstrate bonding capacity at or exceeding $125,000,000 will not be considered qualified. This announcement is for information and planning purposes only and should not be construed as a commitment by the Government for any purpose. There is not a request for proposals at this time, Prequalification instructions are anticipated to be released late February 2021.� Neither telephonic, mailed nor faxed requests for hard copies of this prequalification will be accepted.� The Prequalification will only be available online; to download the prequalification offerors must access the Government Point of Entry at Beta.Sam.Gov.� Additional questions may be emailed to the Contract Specialist at Elizabeth.K.Glasgow@usace.army.mil. This notice is issued solely for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute a Request for Quote (RFQ)/Invitation for Bid (IFB)/Request for Proposal (RFP).
