Project Description:

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Norfolk, VA District is seeking a business capable of
constructing a Targeting Facility. The Air Force Targeting Center consists of a 94,800 SF
multi-story facility that consists of a multi-story Secure Compartmented Information Facility
(SCIF) space, open flexible work space with a large mezzanine, training area, back shop support,
and warehouse space. The open floor space will have minimal obstructions and accommodate deep
access flooring. This building includes small data centers for both secure and non-secure data
lines, Tier 1 electrical system, and a large auditorium that will require secured VCT capabilities.
The building sits on a 14.5 acres site that will require new utilities and earthwork to bring the
topography above the FEMA flood elevation.  The site work will also require the building and new
utilities to avoid the large active underground power lines and sanitary sewer lines.  Storm water
management will be challenging as the site must be raised to 10 feet above mean sea level as the
project location is in the 100-year flood zone.

The anticipated period of performance is 730 days after notice to proceed.

The Contracting Officer has classified this requirement as Commercial and Institutional Building
Construction - North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 236220. The small
business size standard is $39.5 million.

The order of magnitude for this effort is estimated between $25,000,000.00 and
$100,000,000.00. Contractors will be required to submit bonding documents prior to award. Bonding
