The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Louisville District) wants a design-build contractor to repair and add onto the roughly 26,000 sq ft Maintenance Building 56767 at the Equipment Concentration Site, North Fort Hood (Gatesville), TX. It is a total small business set-aside, one firm-fixed-price contract, estimated at $10M to $25M, with about 913 calendar days of work. It is a two-phase procurement, and the notice says the latest amendment went only to Phase II selected offerors.
Watch out for
- Phase II is limited to selected offerors. The latest amendment went only to Phase II selected offerors, so a firm that was not selected in Phase I may not be able to compete.
AMENDMENT 0001 WAS ISSUED TO PHASE II SELECTED OFFERORS ONLY
- Large project needs bonding and financial strength. A $10M to $25M design-build job requires proof of bonding ability and financial capacity, which is hard for many small firms.
The estimated construction cost is anticipated to be between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000.
- Design-build, long duration. The firm must handle both design and construction on a roughly 2.5 year schedule (913 days) on a military base.
The contract duration is estimated at 913 calendar days from Contract Notice to Proceed (NTP).
- Funding not guaranteed. The award can be delayed or cancelled if funds are not available.
This award is Subject to the Availability of Funds (SAF).
- Documents only through PIEE. You need both SAM and PIEE access to get the solicitation and amendments, and amendments are only posted there.
This will be the only method of distributing amendments prior to closing
Read from the notice text only.
