- Description
- Synopsis: Note: This solicitation and award is restricted in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (4) International Agreement, to Danish and Greenlandic firms ONLY. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District intends to issue a Two Phase (Two Steps) Design-Build Request For Proposal (RFP), design-build solicitation package seeking to award a low-price, technically-acceptable, firm-fixed price contract, for the design and construction of the renovations to a three story dormitory at Thule Air Base. The scope includes repair to the existing roof, exterior walls and the complete renovation of the interior finishes and fixtures, to exclude replacing interior walls. Interior renovation includes the minor remodel of the first floor into individual modules consisting of a living room, bedroom and bathroom. The second and third floor configuration to remain as is; a single room with a partially shared bathroom between two bedrooms. Each floor will have renovated common and laundry areas. The construction season is short at Thule Air Base. General Conditions at Thule Air Base are as follows: the location of Thule Air Base limits exterior work to the months of June through September, although work is sometimes possible in May or October. Additionally, Thule's location demands that all supplies & personnel must be shipped and/or transported, in or out, via air and/or sealift. Thule Air Base is not a commercial air/sea port and there is no other access. Shipping schedules are dictated by Defense contracts, and materials and labor are not available locally. The region is glaciated and the existing soil is generally permafrost, which exists from 1 to 6 feet below the surface and to a measured depth of 1,600 feet. Average winter temperature is 20 -30 degrees F below zero while average summer temperature is 40-50 degrees F above zero. One annual military cargo sealift departs from Norfolk, Virginia to Thule AB, approximately 1 July. There are two sealifts that go from Copenhagen, Denmark to Thule AB, one in July & one in August. Airlifting any materials or equipment via military aircraft is very expensive and only on an emergency-need basis. It is anticipated that the RFP will be issued on or about 08 July 2016 and the proposals for Phase One will be due on or about 30 days later. The evaluation criteria will be as follows: Factor 1- Specialized Past Experience of the Offeror's Design-Build Team (this includes both the Contractor's and his Design's Team experience); Factor 2 - Past Performance of Offeror' Team. The Phase One (Step One) offers will be evaluated independently against the RFP criteria and the proposal will be rated as outlined in the RFP package. The Government will determine the (up to) top five best qualified firms and ask them to participate in the Phase Two. The top 5 Offerors from Phase One (Step One) will then submit their Phase Two (Step 2). The Proposal will consist to responding to the RFP criteria for Factor 3 - Qualifications of the Offeror's Team and the Price Proposal. The evaluation criteria details will be further discussed in the RFP solicitation. The Government will award a firm-fixed-price contract to the responsible Offeror whose Phase One (Step One) and Phase Two (Step Two) proposals are technically acceptable and whose offer is the lowest price.
