Amendment 0002- BID OPENING DATE EXTENDED-Full Renovation School House Classrooms at Building 223 and 224

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Hood is procuring a comprehensive full renovation of Buildings 223 and 224 at Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico, to convert them into modern schoolhouse classrooms meeting TRADOC (Training and Doctrine Command) standards. This extensive construction project involves complete demolition and rebuilding of interior spaces across both buildings, totaling approximately 72,000 square feet, with new architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and telecommunications systems. The renovation includes installing new flooring, walls, ceilings, HVAC equipment, fire suppression systems, electrical infrastructure, and classroom furniture to create flexible learning environments. The solicitation has been amended twice, with the most recent amendment extending the bid opening date to September 2, 2025 at 10:00 AM local time, and incorporating revised drawings and responses to vendor RFI questions. Contractors must address complex requirements including asbestos and lead-based paint abatement, hazardous waste management, and compliance with federal, state, and local building regulations.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), limiting participation to qualified small business contractors. The contract includes a 240 calendar day completion timeline from the Notice to Proceed, indicating the substantial scope and complexity of the renovation work required. The place of performance is specifically at Fort Buchanan in the Municipality of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, with a 9% construction tax rate applicable to the project. The solicitation includes comprehensive technical documentation, including ACM and LBP reports, hazardous waste management plans, pollution prevention documentation, and detailed architectural drawings spanning 48 sheets across multiple engineering disciplines. No incumbent contractor or specific budget range is identified in the available documentation, though the extensive scope suggests a significant construction contract value given the complete renovation of two large military training facilities.
