The originating solicitation, posted December 5, 2019, sought pre-qualified firms to design and build a new embassy compound including an office building, marine security guard residence, parking structures, access pavilions, utility building, warehouse, and recreational facilities. The solicitation set a pre-qualification threshold of completed U.S. or diplomatic construction projects over $151.25 million and estimated construction costs between $219 million and $239 million.
BL Harbert International LLC is a Birmingham, Alabama-based design-build and construction management firm competing as a large business in full-and-open federal construction procurement without set-aside designation.
