Description

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. THERE WILL NOT BE A SOLICITATION, SPECIFICATIONS, OR DRAWINGS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Mid-Atlantic is seeking eligible small business firms capable of performing construction services for Design-Bid-Build (DBB) P-200, Aircraft Maintenance Hangar, Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point, North Carolina.

This project constructs all operational and support facilities to support the basing of two F-35B Lightning II squadrons at the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) in Cherry Point, North Carolina. New construction facilities include a low-rise, two-squadron module aircraft maintenance hangar, an aircraft parking apron, an aircraft ground/support training facility for the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT), a Ground Support Equipment (GSE) storage facility, an open steel-framed Operations Hazards Flammable Storage facility, and four Ready Service Magazines (RSMs). Demolition of existing facilities is required to clear the operational footprint, including the removal of Buildings 1667, 3978, 3986, 3996, 3997, 3998, 3999, and multiple hazardous waste storage shelters.

The Aircraft Maintenance Hangar will be a low-rise, two-squadron module building containing high-bay space, crew and equipment space, and administrative space. The hangar will be constructed of concrete masonry units on a pile-supported reinforced concrete slab-on-grade foundation with structural steel framing, steel roof trusses, and a pre-finished insulated metal roof. Built-in equipment includes compressed air systems, personnel/freight elevators, 5-ton overhead bridge cranes, high-pressure cooling air systems, underwing and wet pipe fire suppression systems, raised access flooring, and backup generators.

The Aircraft Ground/Support Training (CNATT) Facility will include administrative office spaces, five training classrooms, support spaces, and a small arms armory.

The Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Storage Facility is a low-rise, high-bay single-story storage facility directly connected to the CNATT training facility.

The Operations Hazards Flammable Storage Facility will be an open steel-framed structure featuring wire mesh partition separation by material type.

The Ready Service Magazines (RSMs) consist of four masonry-constructed magazines (two per squadron) providing secure ammunition storage.

The Aircraft Parking Apron includes new apron construction and renovation, equipped with electrical grounding, workstation kiosks, and sunshades.

The project also includes extensive site preparation (clearing, excavation, grading, stormwater controls, and soil mitigation), paving and site improvements (covered aircraft wash racks, asphalt paving, sidewalks, dumpster pads, and landscaping), and comprehensive utility upgrades (electrical and communication distribution, water distribution, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, natural gas, oil-water separators, fire suppression foam containment, and industrial waste storage).

All service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB), certified HUB-Zone, certified 8(a), and women-owned small businesses (WOSB), and small businesses are encouraged to respond. Upon review of industry response to this Sources Sought Notice, the Government will determine whether a set-aside acquisition in lieu of full and open competition is in the Government’s best interest. The contract will include FAR clause 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting (DEVIATION 2021-O0008), which states that “It will not pay more than 85 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count towards the prime contractor’s 85 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded.”

It is requested that interested small businesses submit to the Contracting Officer a capabilities package, to include the Sources Sought Contractor Information Form and Sources Sought Project Information Form, provided as attachments to this notice.

The Sources Sought Project Information Form and Sources Sought Project Matrix shall be used to document a minimum of two (2) up to a maximum of five (5) relevant construction projects for the offeror that best demonstrates experience on projects that are similar in size, scope and complexity as listed below. Projects submitted for the offeror shall be completed within the past fifteen (15) years from the date of issuance of this Sources Sought.

For the purposes of this evaluation, a relevant project is further defined as:

Size: A final construction cost of $35,000,000 or greater.  Final construction cost is defined as the total price paid by the customer for the construction services, including original contract award amount and any modifications executed during performance.

Scope: New construction or building addition/expansion of an aircraft maintenance hangar. Neither pre-engineered building systems nor renovation projects will be considered relevant.

Complexity: For at least one relevant project (meeting the Size and Scope as defined above), the Offeror must demonstrate a column-free open hangar bay clear span not less than 200-ft.

A project is defined as a construction project performed under a single task order or contract.  For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the contract as a whole shall not be submitted as a project; rather Offerors shall submit the work performed under a task order as a project.

Ensure that the project description clearly identifies whether the project is new construction or repair/renovation, addresses how the project meets the scope and complexity requirements as delineated above, and provides the final construction cost.

Please note that if you are responding as an 8(a) Mentor-Protégé, you must indicate the percentage of work to be performed by the protégé. A copy of the SBA letter stating that your 8(a) Mentor-Protégé agreement has been approved would be required with your proposal, if requested.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this project is 236220 – Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with a small business size standard of $45,000,000. The magnitude of construction for this project is between $100,000,000 and $250,000,000.
