The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Tulsa has been tasked to solicit for and award a contract for the construction of the Building 9201 Program Office Phase I project, located at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. The proposed project will be a competitive, firm-fixed price contract procured in accordance with FAR 15, Negotiated Procurement, using the trade-off process. The type of set-aside decision to be issued will depend upon the capabilities of the responses to this synopsis.
The purpose of this synopsis is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities and qualifications of various members of industry, to include the small business community: Small Business, Section 8(a), Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUB-Zone), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB). The government must ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of responsible contractors. Small businesses, Section 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB and WOSB businesses are highly encouraged to participate.

The Government is seeking qualified, experienced sources capable of performing the following:

This project will be a single phase design-bid-built project for the Building 9201 Program Office. The existing building was constructed in approximately 2001, and originally served as a General Motors assembly plant. After sitting vacant for approximately ten years, the building shall be renovated into the program office. The existing three-story building is approximately 875,000 gross square feet; however, the Program Office will only occupy 82,025 square feet and is limited to a portion of the ground floor. The project scope of work is primarily office space, conference rooms, server rooms, a dock/receiving area, and IT-related activities. In addition to meeting the program, security, and acoustic requirements for the project, making repairs and modifications to the existing building shall be undertaken. Modifications to the exterior of the building include new EPDM roofing system over the program office location and metal wall panel repair. Following decommissioning of the automotive assembly plant, a certain amount of material salvage occurred. However, a significant amount of demolition and deconstruction of existing materials, equipment, and framing remains. This includes but is not limited to the ovens and support framing located on the third-floor mezzanine, substantial manufacturing-specific steel apparatuses, and a variety of smaller non-structural items specific to the auto assembly plant. Although the scope of new construction is limited to a portion of the first floor, the demolition scope for phase one shall include all three floors, from column lines 22 to 33. There are multiple locations where large openings in the floors shall require infill. There are also locations where large pits in the ground floor shall be infilled and new slabs poured to create an even and smooth floor surface. There are several locations where small curbs, uneven floors, and protruding bolts can be found on the existing floor. The existing curbs, bolts, uneven locations in the slabs shall be scraped, ground, infilled, patched and leveled to a condition suitable for new flooring materials. In general, all existing materials which are not part of the structural frame, exterior envelope, exit stairs, or are not otherwise noted to be retained or reused, shall be demolished.

In accordance with DFARS 236.204, the estimated magnitude of construction for this project is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000.

Estimated duration of the construction phase of this project is 665 calendar days.

The North American Industry Classification System code for this procurement is 236220, which has a small business size standard of $36.5M.

Small Businesses are reminded under FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, that they must perform at least 15% of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with their own employees for general construction-type procurement.

Should the acquisition be set-aside for the 8(a) program, 8(a) firms are reminded they need to have a bona fide office in the geographical area of consideration where the work is to be performed as determined by SBA.
