1. Executive Summary

The Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) Facilities Modernization Program is an initiative aimed at enhancing the infrastructure and operational capabilities of the base, which serves both the U.S. Army and Air Force. This program is designed to address aging facilities, improve operational efficiency, and support the needs of service members and their families. This agreement operates under a pilot program under which prototype projects that are directly relevant to enhancing the ability of the Department of Defense to prototype the design, development, or demonstration of new construction techniques or technologies to improve military installations or facilities.

Key components of the modernization program include:

• Infrastructure Upgrades: Renovation and construction of barracks, training facilities, administrative buildings, and maintenance shops to meet current standards and accommodate modern military operations.

• Sustainability Initiatives: Incorporation of sustainable practices and technologies to reduce the environmental impact of base operations, including energy-efficient systems and water conservation measures.

• Enhanced Training Facilities: Development of advanced training environments, including simulation centers and specialized training areas, to better prepare service members for current and future missions.

• Community Improvements: Upgrades to recreational facilities, family housing, and support services to enhance the quality of life for military personnel and their families.

• Collaboration and Integration: Coordination with local government and community organizations to ensure that modernization efforts align with regional development plans and support community integration.

The JBLM Facilities Modernization Program reflects a commitment to maintaining a state-of-the-art military installation that meets the evolving needs of the U.S. Armed Forces while fostering a supportive environment for service members and their families. Through these improvements, JBLM aims to enhance readiness, morale, and overall mission effectiveness.

This RPP is focused on establishing a pilot program to demonstrate considerable time and costs savings along with project innovation for U.S. Army Facility Modernization Efforts.

2.1 Request for Prototype Proposals (RPP)

The MICC is seeking an accelerated award of the resulting OTA. There will be quick turnarounds for potential partners to consider and observe throughout the proposal process.

2.2 Funding Availability

The U.S. Government (USG) intends to establish funding of approximately $235 Million for this effort in both direct and indirect cost that includes all design and construction costs born by the successful OTA awardee.

The USG may provide additional funding and/or time for this project without any new competition. This depends on the results of the current work and what is delivered. This could be for increasing the project's scope or for follow-up work.

Please be aware:

The estimated funding for this project is an approximation and could be changed.

All awards and funding are dependent on federal funds being available for this program.

2.3 Single Award

The MICC intends to make a single award to one qualified offeror to complete the entire scope of the OTA work. However, if the MICC determines that no single offeror can accomplish the entire work specified within this RPP, then the MICC may ask offerors to work together and make multiple awards under this RPP.

2.4 Period of Performance

The period of Performance will not exceed 60 months.

2.5 Acquisition Approach

The law, under 10 U.S.C. § 2808(a), allows the government to issue a non-competitive production follow on agreement or transaction after the current project is successfully finished.

This means that if all the work is completed as expected, the government can choose to continue to the production phase without opening the opportunity to other bidders. This is often done to streamline the process for projects that are continuations of successfully executed projects. This authority is a flexible tool intended to help the Department of Defense get access to innovative solutions more quickly.

2.6 Additional Government Participation

The. U.S. government may add additional Federal, State, or Local Government partners to the RPP or the resulting OTA.

May 13, 2026 Page 5 of 27

2.7 Use of an Architect-Engineer (AE) firm

The U.S. Government intends to use an AE firm to assist with oversight during performance under this agreement. The Government will rely on Agreement Officers (AO) and Agreement Officer Representative (AOR) to provide technical directions to the Agreement contractor.

2.8 Warranty Requirements

A one-year Warranty Management Plan will be required at time of project completion.

Please see details below.

The Contractor shall provide and manage a comprehensive one-year warranty covering all aspects of the work performed under this contract, including all materials, labor, and installation. This warranty period shall begin upon Government acceptance of the work.

Work acceptance may be completed in phases and warranty dates may be staggered as such. Following written notification of a warranty issue, the Contractor shall respond and take corrective action within a timeframe appropriate to the urgency of the problem. Upon completion of any warranty repair, the Contractor shall submit a report detailing the cause of the issue, the corrective action taken, and the date of completion. The one-year warranty for any corrected work will restart from the beginning upon completion of the repair.

To ensure all warranties are properly documented and managed, the Contractor shall submit a detailed Warranty Management Plan as a closeout submittal. This plan must first be submitted in a preliminary phase, outlining the contractor's proposed system for managing warranty service, including the roles and responsibilities of personnel, and the proposed response and repair times for issues of varying priority.

Prior to project completion, the Contractor shall deliver the final Warranty Management Plan. This final submittal shall act as a comprehensive register of all warranties and include:

1. All manufacturer warranty certificates and information for any new equipment or components installed.

2. A detailed list of all equipment, materials, and systems covered by the one-year construction warranty.

3. For each warranted item, the register must specify the name of the item, model/serial number, its location, the warranty term with start/expiration dates, and the name, address, and telephone number of the point of contact for initiating warranty service.

4. The warranty management plan shall detail that any warranty provided shall not limit the Government’s rights to inspect or accept any aspects of the work performed with respect to latent defects, gross mistakes, and/or fraud.

May 13, 2026 Page 6 of 27

2.9 Bond Letter

Bond Letter: The Offeror shall provide a letter from a qualifying surety that validates the ability to provide bonding at the contract’s program ceiling and specifies the Offeror’s aggregate and single project limits, remaining bond capacity, and impact anticipated from the proposed contract. The contract value could fluctuate up to $250 Million/5-year contract. Any fluctuations in the contract maximum value will require the bond to match dollar for dollar up to a maximum of $250m.

2.10 Non-Government Advisors

Non-Government, or contracted support, advisors may be used in the evaluation of Solution Briefs, Pitches, during Proposal development, proposal evaluations, and negotiations. Non-Government advisors and their employers will have signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with the Government. Companies may engage specific NDAs directly with the non-government advisors or their corporate entities. The non-government advisors may also play essential roles in agreement performance oversight along with U.S. Government employees. Submission of an offer will constitute a grant of authority by the submitting company to the Government to allow the use of non- Government advisors to participate in evaluations of all phases of the procurement process.

The Government understands that information provided in response to this OTA is presented in confidence and may contain trade secret or commercial or financial information, and it agrees to protect such information from unauthorized disclosure to the maximum extent permitted or required by Law, to include:

a. 18 U.S.C. 1905 (Trade Secrets Act);

b. 18 U.S.C. 1831 et seq. (Economic Espionage Act);

c. 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) (Freedom of Information Act);

d. Executive Order 12600 (Pre-disclosure Notification Procedures for Confidential Commercial Information); and,

e. Any other statute, regulation, or requirement applicable to Government employees.

MICC policy is to treat all submissions as proprietary information, and to disclose their contents only as discussed herein. Restrictive notices notwithstanding, during the evaluation process, submissions may be handled by support contractors for administrative purposes and/or to assist with technical evaluation. All MICC and DoW support contractors performing this role are expressly prohibited from conflicts of interests with MICC-sponsored OTA projects and are bound by appropriate NDAs.

May 13, 2026 Page 12 of 27

4. Selection

5.1 Following a preliminary screening, the Agreements Officer will forward all compliant prototype proposals to the Government for a comprehensive evaluation.

Each proposal will be independently assessed against the evaluation factors detailed in this RPP. The Government's evaluation will result in an adjectival rating (as defined in Table 1) for all non-cost/price factors. Offerors must articulate how they intend to meet and, if possible, exceed the RPP's requirements; a mere restatement of a requirement is insufficient. The Government will select the best overall offer, based upon an integrated assessment of Design, Construction Capabilities and Cost Savings Potential/Overall Costs. An agreement may be awarded to the Offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this solicitation) and is judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation factors and sub-factors to represent the most advantageous offer to the Government. As part of making the assessment, a best value analysis will be performed determining whether exceeding the minimum requirements at an associated price provides the best value to the Government.

The evaluation factors and evaluation criteria are described below in descending order of importance.

5.2 Evaluation Factors

1. Technical Approach and Design

2. Construction capabilities

3. Cost Savings Potential / Overall Costs

5.3 Technical approach and Design

Offerors prototype proposals will be evaluated for:

1. Design(s) that meets the technical specifications within this RPP,

2. Innovation and efficiency,

3. Recommends UFC sections to be eliminated or altered for cost or time savings, UFGS, JBLM Design Standards, Attachment 002 Contract 01 Specifications_JBLMFORGE_RPP,

4. is complete and thorough,

5. brings commercial practices to the USG, May 13, 2026 Page 13 of 27

6. Quality Control & Management

6.1 Project quality evaluation consideration:

6.2 Ensuring Quality in Construction: What is the Contractor’s approach to ensuring aggressive timelines do not degrade quality of construction;

6.3 Submittal/product approval timelines and interaction with the Government.

6.4 How does an offeror provide opportunities for inspection without slowing down production rates

7. and offers innovation where asked under attachment 001. Innovation must not reduce reliability or operability.

5.4 Construction Capabilities

Offerors’ prototype proposals will be evaluated for the offeror’s:

1. construction capabilities,

2. Staffing and Key Personnel,

3. Offeror’s realistic ability to complete all projects according to a USG accepted design,

4. A construction schedule that shows the maximum number of projects completed within one calendar year from project award,

5. Schedule showing the rest of the projects are completed as efficiently as possible while maintaining cost savings and quality of construction as key metrics.

6. Coordination with JBLM private utilities. The successful contractor shall be responsible for the comprehensive coordination of all utility services and any required outages for the duration of the project. All utility outages, including but not limited to water, sewer, electrical, and natural gas—must be formally coordinated and approved a minimum of 14 calendar days in advance to minimize disruption to operations. This includes close coordination with the privatized utility owners. For all work related to water and sanitary sewer systems, the contractor must coordinate directly with American Water (AW) for connections, modifications, and inspections. Similarly, any activities impacting the electrical distribution system require direct coordination with City Light & Power (CLP). For work affecting natural gas infrastructure, the contractor must coordinate with the service provider, Puget Sound Energy (PSE).

Adherence to the standards, requirements, and inspection protocols of these utility entities is mandatory for all related work and must be discussed with the Government at all stages.

May 13, 2026 Page 14 of 27

7. And any other information that the offeror can provide that tends to demonstrate new construction techniques or technologies to improve military installations or facilities.

5.5 Price and Cost Saving Potential

The Price Proposal will be evaluated on whether the price proposal provided to the Government includes up to 19 projects within the estimated $235 M total budget and provides a clear, detailed price breakout for each project as a separate CLIN. Proposals that substantiate including all 19 projects and substantiate exceeding the criteria above represent the best value to the U.S.

Government.

The offeror should capture cost saving opportunities within the proposal for each key area by noting the specific effort to be altered, reduced or eliminates, and the associated cost reductions:

1. Administrative

a. e.g. –Reducing the required number of submittals.

2. Technical Approach & Design

3. Construction Capabilities & Schedule

5.6 Adjectival Merit Ratings.
