Y -- NAVAL NUCLEAR POWER TRAINING COMMAND, NAVAL WEAPONS STATION, CHARLESTON, SC SOL N62467-95-R-0748 DUE 100695 The Government plans to select a group of qualified construction contractors to participate in a constructability review of a critical construction project at Naval Weapons Station, Charleston, SC. The estimated construction cost of the project is between $100,000,000 and $150,000,000 and includes site development and utilities, training facility, Bachelor Enlisted Quarters and Galley. The project is on a single congested construction site interspersed with wetlands. The construction schedule is short and critical. Close construction coordination and management of the project will be essential in order to meet the schedule. The construction schedule requires an average of $1,400,000 of ''Work In Place'' (WIP) per week. The firms selected to participate will be expected to review the plans and specifications currently being developed by the design firms of KBJ Architects, Inc., Jacksonville, FL and VOA Associates, Inc, Orlando, FL; provide constructability comments; and attend all constructability review conferences. Firms participating in the constructability review process will not be compensated for their participation. However, those firms who are selected and successfully complete the constructability review process will be the only firms from whom construction proposals will be solicited. The 20% design drawings are expected to be available not later than October 1995 and the 99% design documents are expected to be available by May 1996. To maximize the available time for construction, there will only be a 6 week solicitation period after Final design documents are available in June 1996. Proposers will be expected to be developing their proposals throughout the constructability review process and fine tune their proposal during the six week solicitation period. The target date for notifying firms selected to participate in the constructability review process is 17 October 1995. Consideration for participation in the constructability review process will be given to all responsible submittals. The contractor's complete response to the Government's prequalification criteria must be received in tis office not later than 11:00 AM on 6 October 1995.
