Sources Sought Synopsis Amendment 1.docx

This is a SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS. No proposals are being requested or accepted with this synopsis. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile Regional Contracting Center is seeking information regarding capability and availability of potential contractors to perform Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Task Order Contracts for healthcare and medical research laboratory facility Design Build Construction, in support of the Defense Health Agency (DHA) Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization program.

The Mobile Regional Contracting Center proposes to utilize a diverse mix of contractors via Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOCs). A determination regarding the potential for small business set-asides will be based on the information and interest received as a result of this notice.

The Design Build construction contracts are intended to provide quick response for performing repair and minor construction relating, but not limited, to the architectural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, security and safety areas of military healthcare and research laboratory facilities in a cost-effective manner. Work will vary from site to site and will require extensive knowledge of the functional operation of medical facilities, including equipment, facility support systems, and building structures. Since the facilities will typically be in full operation, the contractor will be required to minimize interference with the daily operation of the facilities and will be required to implement infection control processes and to comply with Joint Commission requirements for construction work in occupied medical facilities. Certain facilities may require compliance with American Association for Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC). Work may range from reconfiguration of a single room or repair of a single utility system component to renovation of a hospital wing to include both repair of failed and failing systems and components, and minor construction of new systems and components. Key personnel, to include on-site supervisors, are required to hold an American Society for Healthcare Engineering construction certificate. Total capacity over the five regional MATOCs potential five-year life of each contract (five year ordering period) is $1,245,000,000. Each MATOC pool will have an estimated capacity of $249,000,000.
