Y -- DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT LODGING FACILITIES AT THE USAF ACADEMY FARRISH MEMORIAL, PROJECT AFA 95-5101 SOL F0561196B0210 DUE 082596 POC Shirley McCoy (719) 472-2734/Contracting Officer, Isabel L. Staples (719) 472-2735. Design and construct lodging facilities at the USAF Academy Farish Memorial site (located approximately 35 miles from the USAF Academy CO and 8 miles from Woodland Park CO). Project consists of, but is not limited to, site demolition/excavation/preparation; site improvements to include utilities, aggregate base course parking area and walking paths, and landscaping; building and/or installing multipurpose facility, toilet/shower building, 3 duplex lodging buildings, and water distribution facility. Construction drawings and specifications have been developed for the complete facility, however, due to funding limitations the project must be down-sized to accommodate a maximum construction cost limitation of $698,500. This is a nonappropriated fund purchase and it does not obligate appropriated funds of the United States Government - NAF funds are generated by the military community through the sale of goods and services and the collection of fees and charges for participation in Military Community Programs -- This purchase does not involve federal tax dollars. At this time this is an unfunded project, and funds will have to be approved through Headquarters Nonappropriated Funds. Liberal use of prefabricated and new and innovate cost reduction systems are encouraged. The drawings convey basic design intent and material quality. The performance period is estimated to be a total of 315 calendar days. Offerors will submit a technical proposal (no pricing information shall be submitted during the first step), which shall be received on or about 14 May 96.
