About this opportunity
The U.S. Army European Command is seeking a contractor to construct 84 Army Family Housing (AFH) units at Chievres Air Force Base in Belgium to address a significant housing deficit for accompanied military personnel. The project involves building Junior Enlisted 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom dwelling units that comply with Army Family Housing standards, including living areas, kitchens, bathrooms, attached garages, driveways, and supporting facilities like playgrounds and landscaping. Contractors must meet specific requirements including sustainability standards, a 40-year facility design life, and energy efficiency guidelines outlined in UFC 1-200-02. The project has a NAICS code of 236115 for New Single Family Housing Construction, with a 12% minimum self-performance requirement. Interested contractors must submit capability statements by January 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM CET, with the solicitation anticipated to be advertised in Spring 2025.
The contract has no specific set-aside designations and is projected to be valued between $100-250 million under a Firm-Fixed Price contract with an expected duration of 1,230 days. The housing units will be designed to accommodate military families, featuring modern amenities and meeting accessibility requirements for individuals with disabilities. Potential challenges for contractors include likely PFAS soil contamination requiring remediation and specific construction constraints in the Chievres region of Belgium. Heat pumps will be used for heating, with no air conditioning required due to the local climate. The project aims to replace existing limited housing inventory, with current options primarily consisting of 66 built-to-lease units and three government-owned facilities, addressing a total deficit of 248 Army Family Housing units in the region.
Notice text
USAG Benelux-SHAPE in Chièvres, Belgium has established the requirement for 314 total dwelling units for accompanied personnel. This phase will be to construct 84 of those dwellings. There are currently 66 built-to-lease units located throughout the area and three government-owned facilities located in Mons, leaving a deficit of 248 Army Family Housing units. With limited housing inventory, most families rent privately-owned housing on the economy. Rental housing units are currently the only viable option to meet the required family housing deficit, but the unpredictable costs, regular maintenance, and on-conforming DoD criteria standards do not meet long-term planning efforts for the region. New facilities will comply with current AFH standards for space, security, and storage. This project will provide complete and usable housing for 84 families and comply with operational vision and goals for enhanced quality of life; providing sustainable infrastructure; improving walkability and connectivity; and creating a culturally relevant AFH community.
The 84 dwellings for this project will be comprised of Junior Enlisted 3-Bedroom units and Junior Enlisted 4-Bedroom units personnel. The new housing units will include a living area, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, storage, attached garage, driveway, patio, green space and private entrance. Supporting facilities include a playground, site development and improvements, parking, residential sprinklers, utilities and connections, lighting, walkways, storm drainage, landscaping and signage. Accessibility for Individuals with Disabilities requirements are included within this project along with Sustainability and energy enhancement measures. Heating for the conditioned space will be provided by heat pumps. Air conditioning will not be required in Belgium. Project shall comply with the Army Standard for Family Housing in UFC 4-711-01 and the Europe Army Family Housing standard design guide. Design and construction includes requirements of current Sustainable Design Development and Policy Update (Environmental and Energy Performance). Facilities will be designed for a 40 year life and be in accordance with UFC 1-200-02 to include energy efficiency, building envelope, and integrated building systems performance.
There is a likelihood of PFAS in the soil that will need remediation or cut and fill. There will be required site work in the general vicinity of the buildings including shrubbery and tree planting.
