NAVFAC SW Dry Utilities Construction 2010-2015

The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command established this Master IDIQ on April 27, 2010 to design-build or fully design and construct new, repair, and upgrade dry utilities projects across the NAVFAC Southwest region (Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah). The ordering period closed on April 26, 2015; this vehicle is no longer active. Combined task-order potential value reached $231.9 million, with $232.7 million obligated across 85 task orders—a full burn of the shared ceiling of $300 million.

Task orders funded electrical distribution, lighting systems, cable television lines, airfield lighting, and communication transmission lines at Navy and Marine Corps installations throughout the Southwest. Representative work includes Camp Pendleton electrical upgrades ($38.1 million), Naval Base Ventura County electrical distribution repair ($5.4 million), Camp Wilson infrastructure at Twenty-Nine Palms ($26.8 million), and photovoltaic and energy-efficiency retrofits at multiple bases. Most orders were firm fixed price with durations typically under two years.

Activity was concentrated in the final four years of the ordering window. Annual task-order volume peaked at 15 in 2014 before closing with 12 orders in 2015. Five prime contractors captured 84 percent of awarded orders by count: Rq-Berg JV led by potential value at $96.9 million (9 orders), followed by Stronghold Engineering Inc. ($49.3 million, 16 orders), Dynalectric Co ($34.7 million, 16 orders), Watts Constructors LLC ($22.5 million, 10 orders), and NEI Contracting And Engineering, Inc. ($16.2 million, 20 orders). An additional three firms held the remainder.

Customer funding came almost entirely from Navy organizations. Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command placed 26 orders worth $113.3 million, United States Marine Corps placed 20 orders worth $62.6 million, and Department of the Navy Installations Command placed 18 orders worth $25.6 million; these three accounted for 87 percent of task orders. The remaining activity scattered across six other Navy agencies.

Set-asides were negligible: 84 of 85 orders carried no set-aside designation; one small business order completed the portfolio. All pricing was firm fixed price.

Work acquired under this Master IDIQ is to build new, repair or upgrade, by design-build or, secondarily, by fully designed dry utilities and related projects at various locations within the NAVFAC Southwest area of responsibility including, but not limited to: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. Types of dry utilities projects under this vehicle include, but are not limited to: electrical distributions, lighting systems, cable television lines, airfield lighting, and communication transmission lines.
