2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Government is seeking a Design-Build Contractor to provide all , labor, services, tools, materials, equipment, transportation, supervision, and miscellaneous requirements to prepare complete construction documents (design drawings, specifications, design analysis) and perform construction at Homestead Air Reserve Base (HARB), Florida.

The scope of work includes demolition, restoration, alterations, additions, and finishes to satisfy mission requirements. Key elements of the project include, but are not limited to:

Design-Build Submission Packages: Preparation of 65% design, 100% design, and Final Certified submission packages utilizing Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) and signed/sealed by a Florida-registered Professional Engineer (P.E.) and Registered Architect. New Hallway Addition: Construction of an enclosed hallway to connect building 121 to building 122, including interior office finishes (carpet, lighting, electrical, fire sprinkler, and lightning protection systems), standing seam metal roof, and insulated/painted walls. Site Work & Canopy: Extending the asphalt area and installing a new 35' L x 28' W x 16' H clear-span canopy (no columns) to accommodate three (3) mobility vehicles. Work includes a professional geotechnical study, grading/drainage plans (max 2% slope), and heavy-duty black polyethylene bird netting. Perimeter Security: Installation of a perimeter chain link fence with one double vehicle gate, two single personnel gates, and integration of specialized security lock hardware. Complex HVAC Systems: Installation of a new, highly efficient Carrier air-cooled chiller (ACCH-1) with copper/copper coils capable of withstanding 8,000 hours of salt spray testing. Work includes multi-zone variable airflow chilled water systems, DX mini-splits for communications closets, and a Bacnet DDC control system fully compatible with HARB's campus-wide WebCTRL 7.0 AutomatedLogic license. Roof Replacement: Design and installation of a new standing seam metal roof system (with an R-value of 30) for warehouse building 121, admin building 121, and building 122. Design must comply with Miami-Dade County high-velocity wind zone standards (minimum 150 mph wind speed/150 psf uplift pressure) and include a 20-year single-source water-tightness warranty. Specialized Security & Administrative Spaces:

<ul>
    <li>
    <p><strong>Secure Open Storage Space (B-122):</strong> Construction of a secure room designed for high-security storage of specialized equipment. Construction requirements include permanent reinforced walls (with expanded steel mesh/18-gauge screen), no windows, GSA-approved security locks (meeting FF-L-2740), and hardened utility openings.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
    <p><strong>Secure Briefing and Training Room (B-122):</strong> A specialized space designed to host secure briefings for up to 35 personnel, compliant with military facility security, access control, and acoustic shielding requirements.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
    <p><strong>Climate-Controlled Equipment Bay (B-121):</strong> A 2,400 sq/ft secure storage bay for specialized mobility packages and equipment requiring strict environmental parameters (65&deg;F to 80&deg;F, 40% to 60% relative humidity) and physical separation from administrative areas.</p>
    </li>
    <li>
    <p><strong>Integrated Secure Communications:</strong> Maintenance, integration, and protection of existing secure network communication lines and drops throughout the facility footprint.</p>
