Added: Sep 30, 2010 8:49 pm Pre-solicitation Notice Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for Central Issue Warehouses, Support Supply Activity Warehouses, and General Purpose Warehouses located in the state of Georgia. The Contract Specialist for this solicitation will be Cody Cotten, 817-886-1077; or by e-mail at cody.d.cotten@usace.army.mil . FOR INFORMATION ONLY: FOR INFORMATION ONLY: This project is required by the Armys Military Construction (MILCON) Business Process. USACE, in response thereto, created eight Centers of Standardization (COS) that are not only the design centers of expertise but are also the acquisition experts for the facility types for which the COS is assigned. Forty-one facility types were identified for standardization. Of those forty one, Fort Worth District (SWF) has been assigned responsibility for the Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing (UEPH), Basic Training (BT) Barracks, Advanced Individual Training (AIT) Barracks, Warrior in Transition (WT) facilities, Reception Station Barracks, Drill Sergeant Barracks, Central Issue Warehouses, Support Supply Activity Warehouses and General Purpose Warehouses. The primary execution of the work under the SWF COS responsibility will be based on facility-type Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. The IDIQ contracts for Barracks are based around current known requirements within four (4) geographic regions identified as Northwest (CO, IA, ID,IL, IN, KS, MI, MN, MO, MT, NE, ND, OH, OR, SD, UT, WA, WI, WY); Southwest (AR, AZ, CA, LA, NM, NV, OK & TX); and Southeast (AL, FL, GA, KY, MS, NC, SC, TN) and Northeast ( CT, DC, DE, MA, MD, ME, NH, NJ, NY, RI, VA, VT, WV) for an approximate value in excess $3.1 billion. The IDIQ contracts for Warehouses are located in East and West of the Mississippi River and have been distributed accordingly.SCOPE OF WORK: Central Issue Warehouses: The primary mission of the CIFs is to provide a single point for receipt, storage, issue, exchange, and return of all authorized organizational clothing and individual equipment items at the specified United States Army Installation. CIF facilities provide storage capabilities combined with office space, used in the administration of issuing soldiers equipment as needed. The facilities support open storage for deployment functions as necessary by the Army Unit occupying the building. The functional and operational requirements of the CIW require that the design be based on the characteristics of the material being handled and stored, the volume and flow pattern tough the facility, and the inventory pattern. Therefore, the overall building design and configurations will vary as required to meet project specific requirements.Support Supply Activity Warehouses: SSAs will provide a facility capable of storing and maintaining the Army prepositioned stocks (APS) and items required for active duty operation. The facility is similar to a parts wholesale warehouse. The functional and operational requirements of the SSA require that the design be based on the Adapt-Build Model standard design. Therefore, the overall building design and configurations will not vary.General Purpose Warehouses: GPWs will be capable of supporting the storage of various equipment and materials, up to a Moderate-hazard level. GPW facilities may have substantially differing design and operational requirements in order to meet the Armys needs on a worldwide basis. The facility type will provide an acceptable relationship between actual equipment dimensions, performance characteristics and the building dimensions. GPWs are intended to be similar both functionally and technically to private sector industrial warehouses Supporting facilities include utilities; electric service; water, sewer, gas; paving, walks, curbs and gutters; storm drainage; site improvements and information systems. Access for persons with disabilities will be provided in public areas. Comprehensive building and furnishings related interior design services are required. Comprehensive warehouse pallet and racking systems related to warehouse functional design services are required. Air conditioning will be provided in administrative areas, and warehouse areas will be ventilated and heated. Supporting work includes fire protection sprinkler and fire detection systems of the warehouses. It is the intent of Government to issue design-build and adapt-build Request for Proposals (RFPs) under the contracts awarded as a result of this solicitation, which may be used as the basis for subsequent RFPs/task orders at the same or other installations within the region.CONTRACT INFORMATION: This solicitation will be evaluated under the Two Phase Design Build Process. In Phase 1, interested firms or joint venture entities (referred to as Offerors) may submit certain specified performance capability proposals, demonstrating their capability to successfully execute the design-build construction IDIQ contract resulting from this solicitation.
