B2474 Kitchenettes

The Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Bliss seeks installation of new and refurbished kitchenettes in Building 2474 through an Invitation for Bids, with proposals due July 24 at 11:00 AM MST. This is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business 100% set-aside, foreclosing competition outside that pool.

Work is located at Fort Bliss, Texas. The scope spans three floors: first-floor installation of a new kitchenette with finished metal stud walls, acoustic ceiling tiles, base and wall cabinets with oak wood and medium stain, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, 1-inch aluminum mini blinds, plumbing connections, a new 100-amp 120/208V electrical panel, range hoods with fire suppressors, and HVAC work; second and third-floor refinishing of existing kitchenettes including cabinet sanding and staining, new hardware, countertop replacement, blind replacement, sink and waste disposal replacement, drinking fountain replacement with bottle fillers, wall base replacement, and painting. The contractor must field-verify existing conditions including electrical panel capacity and plumbing system capability. A full-time superintendent cannot be subcontracted; a full-time Site Safety and Health Officer and Quality Control Manager must be different individuals from the superintendent, though the SSHO and QC Manager may be the same person. All personnel must possess five years of relevant experience and appropriate certifications. The facility will remain occupied during construction, requiring occupant coordination.

Contract duration is 180 calendar days from notice to proceed, with work to begin within 30 days. Liquidated damages are $1,717.14 per calendar day of delay. The estimated project magnitude is between $250,000 and $500,000, awarded as firm fixed price. NAICS code is 236220 with a size standard of $45 million. PSC code is Z2FC.
