Subject: Pacific Region – Two Phase Design-Build and Construction IDIQ MATOC in Support of DHA

Sources Sought Notice / Market Research for information on capability and availability of potential contractors interested in proposing on Firm-Fixed-Price Contracts to provide design-build, construction and repair in support of DHA Medical Facilities in the Pacific Region of the United States of America. 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 small business reserves will be based on the information and interest received as a result of this notice. The intent of the design-build construction contracts are 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 of Healthcare Engineering construction certificate. For the purpose of this procurement an active medical facility is defined as a full functional facility with patients.

The following are the places of performance for the subject requirement:

• Pacific Region – Entire state of Hawaii, and U.S. Territories in the Pacific (American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, The Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands)

• Pacific MATOC, estimated value of this acquisition is a $249,000,000.00 capacity.

The anticipated period of performance is five year ordering period.

The Statement of Work includes the following:

The contract scope of work will include, but is not limited to, some or all the following types of work: The potential contract(s) is intended to provide a full range of construction services to include renovation, repair and new construction services for DHA supported medical treatment facilities (MTF) and medical research laboratory facilities to provide quick, cost effective responses to requirements located at military installations. Projects my include, but not limited, to work inside both permanent and temporary facilities some of which include the following types: medical centers, community hospitals, medical clinics, dental treatment facilities, veterinary treatment facilities, medical office buildings, medical research laboratory facilities, medical warehouses, and various other facility types in direct support of the DHA mission.

Work will vary from site to site and will require extensive knowledge of the functional operation relating to the efficient use of the facility, equipment, facility support systems, and building structures. Since the facilities will be in full operation, the contractor will be required to minimize interference with the daily operation of the MTFs and will be required to implement infection control processes. Joint Commission Environment of Care requirements and other applicable requirements must be met. Again, infection control and patient/staff safety are of utmost importance and will be required to be addressed during performance period.

The Contractor shall be responsible for verifying all existing conditions, quantities, measurements, and distances, as they are only used in the Statement of Work for the estimation of the Scope of Work. The government is responsible for identifying the facility or location of work and shall not be held responsible for other inaccuracies.

All these special requirements combine to create a demanding work environment for contractors, where the contractors must be willing to take on the risk performing work that may impact patient health and safety and may even expose their own workers to toxins or infectious diseases.

This necessitates measures such as increased liability insurance, special immunizations for workers in certain facilities or areas of facilities, additional worker training in the use of specialized personal protective equipment, etc.
