This will be a Full and Open procurement utilizing a Single-Phase Design/Bid/Build solicitation and evaluation. The NAICS code for this project is 236220 and the size standard is $45M.

The basis of award is the Best Value Trade-off process. The Government may opt not to award to the lowest price – All evaluation factors, other than price, when combined are considered approximately equal to price.

This solicitation will likely include options. Evaluation of price will be made on the total of the base and all options price.
