" Proposed Issue Date: May 25, 2007 " Title of Project: Northwest Arctic Heritage Center Description: The work of this contract includes two discreet components, including the construction of the Northwest Arctic Heritage Center and the Maintenance building in Kotzebue, Alaska. Previous work already contracted included the demolition of the existing facilities on administrative land owned by the National Park Service; preparation of the finish sub grade of both building sites; installation of new water, sewer, and storm culvert pipe on both sites; and installation of thermosyphons and thermopiles per proposed building foundation design for both facilities. Work that is not a part of this contract includes exhibit fabrication/installation and audiovisual hardware installation in the multi-purpose room. Proper coordination to accommodate the work not included in this contract is required. Northwest Arctic Heritage Center: The work comprises erection of structural members upon the existing thermopile system, enclosure of the building, installation of finishes, utility connections extending from stubs previously installed, and furnishing equipment and other permanent appurtenances. Placement of loads upon any of the piles shall not begin until confirmation has been made by the National Park Service geotechnical consultants that subsurface conditions are stable, permafrost soils are present, and piles are ready. The multi-purpose facility previously decommissioned and demolished may have had building materials, providing they met qualitative standards, which are designated and available for re-use in the new construction. The remaining site work includes finish grading, traffic way surfacing, installation of site furnishings, and landscaping. Maintenance Building: The work comprises excavation of the existing foundation pad, placement of concrete foundation, erection of structural members, enclosure of the building, installation of finishes, utility connections extending from stubs and manholes previously installed, and furnishing equipment and other permanent appurtenances. Placement of loads upon the foundation pad shall not begin until confirmation has been made by the National Park Service geotechnical consultants that subsurface conditions are stable and the thermosyphon system is functioning as intended. The remaining site work includes finish grading and installation of site furnishings. " Type of Procurement: A negotiated firm-fixed price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and a price proposal. The government will consider an offeror's technical capability in comparison to its price. " Estimated price range, $5,000,000.00 to $8,000,000.00. " Time for completion by June 1, 2009. " Proposal receipt date is approximate; actual date will be established at the time proposal documents are available. " All responsible sources may submit an offer that will be considered. " It is the policy of the Government to provide maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns. Such concerns must also have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate as subcontractors in the contracts awarded by any executive agency, consistent with efficient contract performance. All offerors, (large or small) are strongly encouraged to contact their local Small Business Administration office, to post their need for qualified subcontractors on SUB-Net accessed at http://web.sba.gov/subnet/, and to utilize the Central Contractor Registration's (CCR) Dynamic Small Business Search for potential subcontractors within these various socio-economic categories. " In order to be considered for award, all large businesses will be required to submit an acceptable Small, HUBZone Small, Small Disadvantaged, Women-owned, Veteran-Owned Small Business Subcontracting Plan with their proposal.
