Request for Information Questionnaire_Notice ID W9128A27Z1CV4.pdf

This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Honolulu District for four FY24 Design-Build to Budget (DBtB) projects located on Oahu, Hawaii. The RFI is for informational purposes only and is not a solicitation; no contract will be awarded from this notice.

The four projects total approximately $291 million and include: PN103952 Elevated Storage Tanks at Kolekole ($42M), PN101244 Elevated Storage Tanks at East Range ($42M), PN098748 Wells and Storage Tank at Helemano Military Reservation ($104M), and PN104030 Water Distribution Lines, Clearwell, Booster Pumps, and Storage Tanks at Fort Shafter ($93M). All projects involve water supply and storage infrastructure construction under the NAICS Code 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction). The proposed acquisition strategy uses DBtB with Other Transaction Authority (OTA) under 10 U.S.C. § 2808a, employing a qualifications-based design phase followed by negotiation. Down-selected design-builders may participate in up to three proprietary meetings to refine design packages. The RFI requests market intelligence on interested and qualified businesses, covering company information, bonding and financial capacity, experience in Hawaii or remote locations, technical capabilities, labor and engineering constraints, innovative construction technologies, evaluation criteria weighting, acquisition structure concerns, risk management, and pricing feasibility. Responses are due in the first week of February, with design notifications and proprietary meetings scheduled through May and negotiations concluding by end of July.
