- Description
- RECOVERY - This requirement will be funded in whole or in part by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009. This announcement is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) and does not commit the Government to award any contracts now or in the future. No solicitation is available at this time. The purpose of this pre solicitation notice is to advertise that the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is contracting for the interiors of the Building 1 Extension Project. The B1E will be one of the most technologically advanced buildings in the world. The laboratory combines the features of close temperature control, vibration isolation, air cleanliness, and demanding power quality into a facility of crucial national importance. The B1E consists of an L4 High Performance Lab, L5 Instrument Lab and L6 Precision. Temperature control will be achieved down to +/- 0.1 degree C in some areas, humidity control to +/- 5%, air filtration to M3.5 (class 100), and vibration control to < 3 micrometers/second. At the B1E, electrical substations will be installed to transform site high voltage of 13.2 kV down to 480/277 V. State-of-the-art clean power quality will be required to meet stringent lab requirements and eliminate variables from scientific research. The new facility will provide for the current needs of quantum science research in computing and communications, nanotechnology, improved atomic clock research, high speed electronic measurements, and microfabrication of research devices. The proposed B1E gross building area is approximately 137,000 square feet. Environmental and space requirements for the building are based on extensive programmatic studies of NIST's most technically demanding scientific programs, many of which directly or indirectly support US competitiveness. The building environmental requirements for programs slated for the B1E cannot be economically met with renovated laboratory space; therefore, the B1E is a necessity for NIST's continued long-term support of US industrial competitiveness in the world market. The solicitation will be released on or about December 9, 2009, with an award anticipated for March, 2010. The estimated price range of this project is $50,000,000.00 to $65,000,000.00. A pre-proposal conference has been scheduled for Thursday, December 17, 2009 from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm at the NIST Boulder Campus, located at 325 Broadway in Boulder, Colorado. Information regarding the conference will be contained in the solicitation posting. Completion time for this project is estimated at five hundred forty days (540) calendar days after the written Notice to Proceed. One or more of the items under this acquisition is subject to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and Free Trade Agreements. Source selection will be made using best value trade off process (FAR 15.101-1). The government will not pay for any information solicited. Offers that do not meet all the requirements or are not submitted within the allotted time will not be considered. This procurement is open to both large and small business concerns. The NAICS code applicable to this solicitation is 236220, and the corresponding size standard for determining whether or not a firm qualifies as a small business is $33.5 million in average, annual receipts (gross) over the past three years. Although this procurement is not set aside for small business, small firms (including woman-owned, minority-owned, HUBZone, Veteran-Owned small firms, and service disabled Veteran-Owned business) are strongly encouraged to participate in the construction and renovation of Federal facilities. In accordance with 15 USC 631, large businesses will be required to provide these small firms the maximum practical opportunities to participate as subcontractors in the performance of this contract. Each large firm will be required to submit an acceptable subcontracting plan that meets, and preferably exceeds, the minimum acceptable subcontracting target goals established by the Small Business Administration (SBA). An acceptable subcontracting plan must be reviewed and approved by the SBA prior to award of this contract. Small businesses are not subject to this requirement. However, ALL firms seeking consideration for this contract will need to demonstrate a proactive effort to achieve the highest possible subcontracting goals for local (Denver/Boulder area) business concern participation. Please refer to the SBA website for additional details at www.sba.gov. IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE TECHNICAL DATA, SPECIFICATIONS AND DRAWINGS, ALL INTERESTED PARTIES MUST EMAIL OR MAIL A REQUEST TO JASON GERLOFF (JGERLOFF@NIST.GOV) REFERENCING THE SOLICITATION NUMBER (SB1341-10-RP-0003) AFTER THE SOLICITATION IS RELEASED IN FED BIZ OPPS. THE SOLICITATION WILL BE RELEASED ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 9, 2009. PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST THE SOLICTATION PRIOR TO THE SOLICITATION POSTING.
