Naval Facilities Engineering Command Atlantic intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Design-Build, firm-fixed-price contract for construction of MILCON Projects P-307 and P-308. These projects will provide modifications to existing Hangar 831 and installation of an outdoor automatic aircraft rinse facility at Keflavik, Iceland. The Government intends that this solicitation will be limited to U.S. and Icelandic firms only.

P-307 will modify existing aircraft maintenance Hangar 831 to accommodate and allow full enclosure of P-8A aircraft. The existing hangar doors will be replaced to accommodate the tail vertical stabilizer height of the P-8A and the hangar structural members modified to provide for an increased door height. The project will also reconnect the facility to a 400HZ power source and replace an existing segment of the floor that spans an existing utility tunnel with a thicker floor slab. The project also restripes the aircraft parking apron spaces to accommodate P-8A.

Project P-308 will construct a new, outdoor automatic aircraft rinse facility required for post-flight rinse of P-8A aircraft. The rinse facility will support current and future P-8A operations. A dedicated post-flight rinse facility will allow returning aircraft to easily and quickly taxi through the rinse facility and continue operations without having to be brought into the hangar to be hand washed.

These projects are located in the Security Zone within Keflavik International Airport, Iceland.

The period of performance for P-307 is approximately 767 days after notice to proceed. The period of performance for P-308 is approximately 589 days after notice to proceed. It is expected that both projects would be performed concurrently.

These projects will be awarded as one firm-fixed-price contract. The Government reserves the right to enter into negotiations or limit the competitive range. The statutory cost limitations for the projects are as follows:

P-307: $12,800,000 P-308: $4,330,000

It is anticipated that this solicitation will be limited to Icelandic and U.S. firms with adjudicated NATO “Restricted” clearance (or equivalent) only.

This contract will require a Payment and Performance Bond pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.228-15 through an approved surety under the United States Treasury Department Circular 570.

Based on the feasibility of a contractor to furnish a Payment and Performance Bond, offerors may provide a 10% Performance Guarantee in lieu of a Payment and Performance Bond.
