DBB P-1417: Containerized Long Weapons Storage Magazine, Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, Yorktown, Virginia & P-1418: Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) Weapons Maintenance and Storage

Facility, Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, Yorktown, Virginia

This is a request for information/market survey. This is not a request for proposal, request for quote, or an invitation for bid. There will be no solicitation, specification, or drawings available at this time.

Naval Facilities Engineering System Command (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic is soliciting comments from the public addressing the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) for the following construction project.

P-1417: Containerized Long Weapons Storage Magazine, Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, Yorktown, Virginia

This project constructs one Containerized Large Weapons Storage (CLWS) two-bay earth-covered magazine, with two mechanical buildings to support electrical and heating/ventilation/air-conditioning equipment, and one emergency generator facility. Magazine and supporting buildings construction will consist of reinforced concrete mat foundations, walls, floors, roof, and entrance and loading aprons. It will include ordnance bonding, grounding and lightning protection systems, and earth covering.

Facility-related control systems include cybersecurity features in accordance with current Department of

Defense (DoD) criteria.

This project will provide Antiterrorism (AT) features and comply with applicable service and

Geographic Combatant Commander policies and directive per Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) for DoD

Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings.

Built-in equipment includes two bridge cranes (25-ton), with one bridge crane serving each bay, and four HVAC units (2 units per bay: 1 primary and 1 back-up). The new CLWS magazine is designed to accommodate the cranes and will include a crane rail in each bay as part of its standard design. An emergency generator is also included to maintain environmental control systems and ensure continuity of operations).

Special Costs include Post Construction Award Services (PCAS), geospatial surveys and mapping, and cybersecurity commissioning. The cybersecurity commissioning cost is to cover the contractor's submittals, administrative actions and compliance with the Department of Navy's (DON) cybersecurity requirements as well as DON's in-house costs to review contractor submittals and to implement steps necessary for obtaining Authority to Operate.

Operations and Maintenance Support Information (OMSI) is included in this project. DoD and DON principles for high performance and sustainable building requirements will be included in the design and construction of the project in accordance with federal laws and Executive Orders. Low Impact

Development (LID) will be included in the design and construction of this project as appropriate.

Site preparation includes clearing and grubbing, grading, excavation, fill, and earth cover for the magazine.

Special foundation features include reinforced concrete mat foundation over ground improvements and a load transfer platform for each to support the magazine facilities.

Paving and site improvements includes access roads, stormwater management features, paved truck loading and unloading area, and landscaping.

Electrical utilities include underground utility distribution, secondary electrical distribution systems, lighting, and telecommunications infrastructure. Mechanical utilities include storm sewer system and gas service. Facilities will be designed to meet or exceed the useful service life specified in DoD Unified

Facility Criteria. Facilities will incorporate features that provide the lowest practical life cycle cost solutions satisfying the facility requirements with the goal of maximizing energy efficiency.

P-1418: CPS Weapons Maintenance and Storage Facility, Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, Yorktown, Virginia

Constructs a high bay storage facility supported by mat foundations. The facility will utilize structural steel framing with a standing-seem roof. Exteriors are expected to be a combination of concrete and insulated metal panels. This project provides maintenance, operational, and storage space to support the

Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) program.

Facility-related control systems include cybersecurity features in accordance with current Department of

Defense (DoD) criteria.

This project will provide Antiterrorism (AT) features and comply with applicable service and

Geographic Combatant Commander policies and directive per Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 4-010-

01 DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings. User generated unit costs were used for this project and include the cost of features to meet minimum DoD AT standards.

Built-in equipment includes a bridge crane (50-ton), forklift charging system, and compressed air system.

Special costs include Post Construction Contract Award Services (PCAS), third-party commissioning, mechanical acceptance, and cybersecurity commissioning. The cybersecurity commissioning cost is to cover the Navy's (DON) cybersecurity requirements as well as DON's in-house costs to review contractor submittals and to implement steps necessary for obtaining Authority to Operate.

Operations and Maintenance Support Information (OMSI) is included in this project. DoD and DON principles for high performance and sustainable building requirements will be included in the design and construction of the project in accordance with federal laws and Executive Orders. Low Impact

Development will be included in the design and construction of this project as appropriate.

Site preparations include clearing, underground demolition, excavation, fill, site grading, and compaction.

Special foundation features include rigid inclusion ground improvements and load transfer platform.

Paving and site improvements include asphalt paving, concrete paving, curb, gutter, sidewalks, and landscaping.

Electrical utilities include a pad-mounted transformer (500 kVA), electrical distribution, site lighting, communication distribution, and photovoltaic system. Mechanical utilities include potable water, fire water, fire hydrants, sanitary sewer, sanitary sewer structures, storm sewer, storm sewer structures, storm management pond, underdrains, and pond structures. Included also- installation of Photovoltaic panels and required support structure and systems.

Physical security includes 232 meters (m) of security fencing (2.4 m high), gates, and drop arm barriers.

Facilities will be designed to meet or exceed the useful service life specified in DoD UFCs. Facilities will incorporate features that provide the lowest practical life cycle cost solutions satisfying the facility requirements with the goal of maximizing energy efficiency.

The project will be prepared one package, under one contract. The project will be design-bid-build. NAICS Code: 237990. The magnitude of construction is anticipated to be $100M – $250M.

A PLA is defined as a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement with one or more labor organizations that establishes the terms and conditions of employment for a specific construction project and is an agreement as described in 29 U.S.C. 158 (f). Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) policy states:

Executive Order (E.O.) 14063, Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects, requires agencies to use PLAs in large-scale construction projects (defined as a construction projects with a total estimated cost at or above $35M) to promote economy and efficiency in the administration and completion of Federal construction projects. When awarding a contract in connection with a large-scale construction project, agencies shall require use of a PLA for contractors and subcontractors engaged in construction on the project, unless an exception(s) at FAR 22.504(d) (DPCAP CD 2026-

O0040) applies. Reference is made to: FAR Subpart 22.5 (DPCAP CD 2026-O0040) Use of Project

Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects; provision, FAR 52.222-33 (DPCAP CD 2026-

O0038) Notice of Requirement for Project Labor Agreement; and to clause, FAR 52.222-34 (DPCAP

CD 2026-O0038) Project Labor Agreement.

In consideration of the above factors, and any others which may be deemed appropriate, the public is invited to provide responses on the use of a PLA for this construction project utilizing the attached questionnaire.

This is not an announcement of the availability of a solicitation nor is it a means of generating a plan holder’s list. This survey is for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a Request for

Proposal or as an obligation on the part of the Government. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this market survey or otherwise pay for the requested information. The
