1.0 PROJECT INFORMATION
1.1 Project Overview & Scope
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Savannah District (SAS), is seeking qualified Design-
Builders (DBs) to participate in a Progressive Design-Build (PDB) acquisition utilizing an Other
Transaction (OT) pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2808a for the demolition of the existing Building 212 at Fort
Stewart, Georgia, and the design and construction of a replacement 86-bed Permanent Party
Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing (UEPH) Barracks.
The project includes demolition of the existing facility, design and construction of a new barracks facility, and procurement and installation of all required furniture, furnishings, and equipment (FF&E). The replacement facility will have an approximate gross area of 41,710 square feet and will comply with the
2025 Army Barracks Standard for Permanent Party Unaccompanied Housing, applicable Unified
Facilities Criteria (UFC), and industry standard building codes.
This Request for Statement of Qualifications / White Paper constitutes Step 1 of a competitive two-step
Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) process. Interested Design-Builders shall submit a qualifications-based White Paper demonstrating their capability, experience, and technical approach. Based on the comparative evaluation of White Paper submissions, the Government intends to shortlist up to three (3) of the most highly qualified Design-Builders to participate in Step 2, consisting of an Individual Pitch
Meeting and Facility Tour.
This acquisition emphasizes:
• Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS): Design-Builders will be evaluated on demonstrated qualifications, experience, capability, and technical approach. Price is not an evaluation factor during Step 1.
• Collaborative Project Development: The selected Design-Builder will work collaboratively with USACE throughout Phase 1 to refine the design, validate costs, manage project risks, and develop the project for successful execution.
• Progressive Design-Build: This acquisition emphasizes early collaboration, open communication, innovation, and continuous cost validation throughout design development.
• Speed and Flexibility: This acquisition will be conducted using an Other Transaction (OT) pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2808a and is not subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) source selection procedures
The Government reserves the right to modify the solicitation requirements and evaluation approach as necessary.
1.2 Project Goals and Objectives
• Collaborative Project Development: Establish an integrated, non-adversarial environment where the Government and Design-Builder work collectively from Day 1 to co-develop the design, schedule, and cost.
• Innovation, Speed, and Flexibility: Leverage the OT framework outside traditional FAR constraints to emphasize speed, innovation (in materials, methods, and delivery), and optimal mission outcomes.
• Qualifications-Based Selection: Prioritize the selection of a Design-Build Partner based on proven past performance, team merit, and technical approach rather than detailed construction price proposals at this initial stage.
• Risk Management: Proactively identify, document, and manage technical, manufacturing, and installation risks using a joint "Living Risk Register" with dedicated mitigation strategies.
1.3 Funding
The total funding available for this project, including design, manufacturing, construction, and commissioning activities, may not exceed the $38,000,000.00 Not-to-Exceed (NTE) budget ceiling.
This affordability cap is a material requirement of the agreement. White Papers, Pitch Presentations, and the selected DB’s post-selection Phase 1 Proposal must demonstrate a highly credible and realistic approach to delivering a complete and usable barracks facility within this ceiling.
1.4 Delivery Model (PDB) & Pilot Program Context
This project utilizes a Progressive Design-Build (PDB) delivery model under Other Transaction
Authority (OTA). Unlike traditional design-build, PDB relies on a qualifications-based selection where the builder is selected early in the project. The team then collaboratively refines the design, validates scope, and performs open-book pricing during Phase 1 before finalizing the construction price for Phase
2. This evaluation is not conducted under FAR Part 15 procedures, and formal source selection processes do not apply.
Pilot Program Status: This project serves as the baseline pilot for potential follow-on requirements of multiple barracks facilities across installations in Georgia. This agreement will preserve the Government's ability to issue a follow-on production OTA in the future, subject to the requirements of 10 U.S.C. §
2808a.
2.0 SOLICITATION PROCESS
2.1 Step 1: Request for Statement of Qualifications / White Paper Submission
The initial phase consists of a rapid, written qualifications evaluation. Interested Design Build teams must submit a White Paper (maximum of 15 pages) demonstrating their capabilities and relevant experience on projects of similar scale, and their preliminary technical and management approach.

Closing Remarks 10 Minutes
The Government reserves the right to adjust the agenda, durations, or sequence of activities as necessary to facilitate the evaluation process.
Each shortlisted Design-Builder will be afforded substantially equal time and opportunity to present its qualifications and respond to Government questions.
The Government may ask follow-up or clarifying questions throughout the presentation.
2.2.2 Step 2 Evaluation Criteria Factory Tour & Pitch Presentations
ELEMENT 3 – COLLABORATIVE CAPABILITY AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Pitch Meeting)
The Evaluation Team will evaluate the Design-Builder's oral presentation and their real-time responses to
Government questions (including follow-up questions) using a standardized interview ensure all Design-
Builders are evaluated against the same core questions and behavioral indicators
Evaluation considerations include:
Collaborative Budget Validation
• Presentations must demonstrate the ability during the Pitch Meeting to identify cost and schedule impacts, discuss practical alternatives, and explain how design decisions will be managed to maintain project affordability. The presenter must show a proactive methodology for executing cost-risk trade-offs during design to prevent scope creep beyond the $38M overall ceiling and the not-to-exceed (NTE) 900-day total agreement duration.
Technical Execution
• Presentations must demonstrate a logical, technically sound approach for advancing design, resolving technical issues, coordinating disciplines, and maintaining schedule and budget objectives throughout the Progressive Design-Build process.
Risk Management
• Presentations must demonstrate a structured approach for identifying, documenting, prioritizing, and mitigating project risks, supported by relevant examples showing how identified risks were successfully managed on comparable projects.
Collaborative Engagement
• Presentations must demonstrate effective communication, active listening, technical competence, and the ability to collaboratively evaluate alternatives, resolve differing viewpoints, and respond constructively to Government questions during the interactive Pitch Meeting.
ELEMENT 4 – MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY VALIDATION AND LOGISTICS (Facility
Tour)
The facility tour is intended to validate the manufacturing approach presented during Step 1 and confirm that the proposed manufacturing capability is operationally feasible for successful execution of this project. Element 4 will be evaluated on a Viable/Non-Viable basis. Any Design-Builder determined to be
Non-Viable will not be considered for section of the agreement.
Evaluation considerations include:
Manufacturing Capability Validation & Logistics
• The Evaluation Team will conduct an assessment of the Design-Builder's manufacturing capability and logistics. This element will be evaluated strictly on a Viable/Non-Viable basis, focusing on the commercial viability and operational feasibility of the production facility.
2.2.3 Step 2 Government Evaluation Approach
The Government will conduct a comparative evaluation of the pitch presentations.
No numerical scores, point values, or mathematical weighting will be assigned.
2.3 Total Evaluation Hierarchy of Qualitative Elements
Following completion of the Pitch Meetings and Facility Tours and to ensure a comprehensive and qualitative selection process, the final ranking and selection of the most qualified Design-Builder will be determined by an integrated comparative assessment of all elements evaluated across both steps of the solicitation.
1. Comparative Evaluation Methodology: For all qualified and viable Design-Builders, the
Evaluation Team will perform an integrated comparative assessment of the relative merits of each submission based on the documented strengths, weaknesses, risks, and overall merit of the
Design-Builder's proposed approach to successfully execute the project. No numerical scores, point values, or mathematical weighting will be assigned.
The relative importance of the qualitative evaluation elements will guide the Evaluation Team's comparative judgment. Element 3 is more important than Element 2, and Element 2 is more important than Element 1 (Element 3 > Element 2 > Element 1). This hierarchy does not establish a mathematical formula for selection. Rather, it reflects the Government's determination that demonstrated collaborative capability and technical execution are of greater importance than corporate experience alone. The Evaluation Team will consider the overall comparative merits of each Design-Builder consistent with the established hierarchy of evaluation elements.
2. Element 4 Manufacturing Capability Validation & Logistics is evaluated on a Viable/Non-Viable basis. A Design-Builder must be rated Viable under Element 4 to be eligible for final selection.
2.4 Final Selection
Following completion of the evaluation, the Government intends to select the most qualified Design-
Builder by an integrated comparative assessment of all elements evaluated across both steps of the solicitation. Selection does not constitute award of an OT agreement. The competitive selection process will consist of Step 1 White Paper evaluation and Step 2 Pitch Meeting evaluation.
Upon selection, the Government will enter into negotiations for Phase 1 Design and Pre-Construction
Services under the Other Transaction agreement.
2.5 Phase 1 Design and Pre-Construction Negotiations
All Shortlisted Design-Builder’s will be required to provide red-lined revisions of the Draft Model OT
Agreement (Attachment 1) the day after pitch presentation.
The selected Design-Builder will receive a request to submit their pricing for Phase 1 Design and Pre-
Construction Services due no later than two (2) days after notification of selection.
The selected Design-Builder's Phase 1 Proposal and redlined revision of the Draft Model OT Agreement will be used to support negotiation of the Phase 1 OT Agreement and may include the proposed design and pre-construction scope, staffing plan, labor categories, hourly rates, fee, schedule, assumptions, exclusions, and other information necessary to establish fair and reasonable Phase 1 terms and support future open-book cost development. The Phase 1 Proposal is not a separate competitive evaluation step and will not be issued to all shortlisted teams. The Phase 1 Proposal will not establish the final Phase 2 construction price, FFP, or GMP. Any target construction price, FFP, or GMP for Phase 2 will be developed later during Phase 1 and negotiated at a future design milestone.
The AO will negotiate the terms and conditions of the agreement, including negotiation of a fair and reasonable price for Phase 1 Design and Pre-Construction Services.
2.5.1 Award Structure
Upon successful negotiation, the AO will execute the single OT award.
• Phase 1 — Design and Pre-Construction Services: The selected Design-Builder may be awarded an OT Agreement for Phase 1 after successful negotiation of fair and reasonable Phase 1 terms.
No construction activities will be authorized under Phase 1. Phase 1 will be funded with available appropriate funds for planning, design, and preconstruction services, as applicable.
• Phase 2 — Design and Construction: Phase 2 may be added by modification to the OT
Agreement upon successful negotiation of a fair and reasonable FFP or GMP at a future design milestone. Phase 2 is subject to the Government's determination that the design, cost, schedule, risk posture, and project requirements are sufficiently defined and aligned, and progression to construction is in the Government's interest.
The Government will maintain overall decision authority and will actively participate in project governance to ensure timely and effective decision-making. The Government reserves the right to discontinue the OT process following Phase 1 and pursue an alternative procurement.
