Description

The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District intends to issue an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the award of a contract for the construction of the Covered Departure/Arrival Airport Control Group (D/AACG) Facility; Electronic and Information T echnology (EIT) Accessibility Exception. The project consists of the construction work necessary to construct an expansion to the existing Departure/Arrival Airport Control Group Facility, a new Covered Ready Line Building and new Marshalling Area Pavemen ts. The D/AACG expansion shall include a Joint Inspection Lane, a lane for a future pallet scale and a lane with a moving axle scale. New supporting facilities include supporting utilities, concrete approaches to buildings, interior finishes, water suppl y, sewer, HVAC, electric service, exterior and or security lighting, parking, storm drainage, communications, fire protection and detection systems, access roads, apron, fencing, signage, landscaping, paving, walks, curbs, information systems, and general site improvements. The estimated cost of this project is between $1,000,000.00 to $5,000,000.00. The facility is located at Fort Drum, New York at the Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield (WSAAF). The selected contractor must complete the entire work ready for us e no later than 425 calendar days after the date the contractor receives the Notice to Proceed, except in case the Contracting Officer determines that seeding is not feasible during the construction period, the Contractor shall accomplish such seeding in t he first planting period following the contract completion date. This action will not operate to extend the performance time for the balance of the work. The time stated for completion shall include final cleanup of the premises. If the contractor fails to complete the work within the time specified in the contract, or any extension, the contractor shall pay to the Government as liquidated damages, the sum of $750.00 for each day of delay. When the solicitation is issued, Section 00800 will set forth the contractor-furnished EIT equipment requirements of the contract. The estimated cost of the EIT equipment is $5,000.00. FAR Part 39.2 requires that federal agencies ensure that any EIT purchased is accessible to federal workers and persons with disabilit ies and implements Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. It incorporates standards developed by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) in acquisition planning, market research, and describing age ncy needs and adds the requirement that acquisition of EIT supplies and services meet the Board accessibility standards at 36 CFR Part 1194. FAR 39.204 contains five exceptions to the EIT accessibility requirements; one of which, FAR 39.204c is for EIT a cquired by a contractor incidental to the contract. In this instance, the purpose of the contract is construction and the EIT equipment is an inconsequential portion of the contract specifications. Therefore, pursuant to FAR 39.204c the EIT purchased un der the subject solicitation and resultant contract is exempt from the Access Board standards at 36 CFR Part 1194. This procurement is being solicited as a competitive HubZone set-aside. The applicable NAICS Code is 237990 with a small business size stan dard of $28.5 million.
