If your firm is a Small Business, certified HUBZone, 8A, Woman-Owned Small Business or Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business and you are interested in this project please respond appropriately.

Project Location: Devens Reserves Forces Training Area, MA

Project Description: This is a Design/Bid/Build project to construct a Vehicle Wash Platform at Devens Reserve Forces Training Area, MA:

Construct a Vehicle Wash Platform at Devens Reserve Forces Training Area (RFTA). Primary facilities include the construction of a three-station wash platform complete with drying and pivot pads, wash water recirculation, high and low pressure cleaning capability, water cannons, wash water containment and drains, paved surfaces, sedimentation basin, sludge removal, gravity oil and grease separator, and a water and grit separator. Supporting facilities include utility connections, electric service, water supply and drainage, site lighting, site work and storm drainage. This project is estimated to be 3000 SF for the wash lanes. Supporting facility costs are higher than normal due to the mandated placement of the wash platform within the South Post Range Complex, a remote location of the installation requiring longer utility runs. Facilities will be designed to a minimum life of 40 years in accordance with DoD's Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 1-200-02) including energy efficiencies, building envelope and integrated building systems performance.

This project will construct a vehicle wash platform at South Post near Landing Zone 1 on Attu Road to allow the gross cleaning of vehicles and equipment prior to their departing the Range Complex onto Jackson Road. The installation hosts numerous training events and exercises on South Post.

Contract duration is estimated at 600 calendar days. The estimated cost range is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000.  NAICS code is 236220.
