PROJECT AT-A-GLANCE

Location: Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL), New Jersey (NJ) Estimated Cost Range: $175,000,000 to $250,000,000 NAICS Code: 236220 – Commercial and Institutional Building Construction Estimated Contract Duration: 1,460 calendar days Project Description: This project is a Design/Build (DB) project to construct four new four-story, 400-person open bay, Collective Training Enlisted Barracks, each approximately 65,000 square feet, for a total of approximately 260,000 square feet. The barracks floorplan will be based on the standard design for an Operational Readiness Training Complex, standardized barracks floorplan. This project is a combination of four separate directives, with the government intending to select a single contractor for all four facilities under one contract.

The standard design barracks incorporates the contingency for lockable, fully functional modular bays. Each modular bay will include an open bay barracks area, showers, bathrooms, and laundry capabilities. These modular bays will maximize the number of usable beds within the facility and accommodate the fluctuating numbers of Soldiers by providing male/female separation and unit integrity. The project will include site work for the entire development, construction of two infiltration basins across the street from the Barracks site, new utility hookups and extensions, and the demolition of an existing Barracks building at JBMDL. The demolition of the Barracks can begin once the new CTB is turned over to the end user.

The four combined projects are:

Project Number 104263: Collective Training Enlisted Barracks. Project Number 104280: Collective Training Enlisted Barracks. Project Number 108809: Collective Training Enlisted Barracks. Project Number 108810: Collective Training Enlisted Barracks.

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: SAM.GOV REGISTRATION

All contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (www.SAM.gov) prior to award of a contract. All proposed contractors are highly encouraged to review FAR Clause 52.232-33 Payments by Electronic Funds Transfer – System for Award Management, which indicates “All payments by the Government under this contract shall be made by electronic funds transfer (EFT).” Those not currently registered can obtain registration by going to the website http://www.SAM.gov. The process can usually be completed from 24 to 48 hours after submission. Contractors will need to obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (formerly DUNS number) for processing their registration. If you do not already have a Unique Entity Identifier, one can be obtained from http://www.SAM.gov. Refer to www.SAM.gov for information formerly found in CCR, EPLS, ORCA and FedReg.

Please begin the registration process immediately in order to avoid delay of the contract award should your firm be selected.

ALERT: You must submit a notarized letter appointing the authorized Entity Administrator before your registration will be activated. This requirement now applies to both new and existing entities. Effective 29 April 2018, the notarized letter process is now mandatory on all CURRENT registrants at SAM who have a requirement to update data on their SAM record. The notarized letter is mandatory and is required before the GSA Federal Service Desk (FSD) will activate the entity's registration.

Effective 29 June 2018, vendors creating or updating their registration can have their registration activated prior to the approval of the required notarized letter. However, the signed copy of the notarized letter must be sent to the GSA Federal Service Desk (FSD) within 30 days of activation or the vendor risks no longer being active in SAM. Vendors can check whether an account is active by performing a query by their CAGE or Unique Entity Identifier. The new registration process may now take several weeks, so vendors are highly encouraged to begin registering as soon as possible to avoid any possible delays in future contract awards. Remember, there is no cost to use SAM. To find out additional information about the changes of the SAM registration process, contractors should visit the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) link located at the top of the SAM homepage (www.sam.gov).
