Camp Buckner was constructed in various stages since its earliest beginnings during World War II in 1943 with subsequent additions and expansions from the 1950s through the 1980s.  The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District intends to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) solicitation package seeking to award a firm-fixed price contract to repair selected existing Camp Buckner facilities and sites to address immediate or persistent structural integrity, building envelope, life, health, and safety concerns. The procurement method for this solicitation will be a Request for Proposals (RFP) Best Value Trade Off (BVTO), using the Two-Phase design/build selection procedures.

Ten buildings have been selected for the third phase of this revitalization. Selective improvements will introduce new systems, such as air conditioning and vapor barriers, into the existing facilities and will reconfigure the existing facilities to eliminate the root cause of long-term deleterious effects. Fire Suppression, Fire Alarm, and mass notification systems will all be modernized, and HVAC and broadband internet will be installed in each barracks. All plumbing systems will be repaired/adapted as required, with all new plumbing fixtures. All hazardous materials within the buildings, including mold, mildew, lead (Pb), and asbestos, will be completely abated. Interior and Exterior Lighting will be improved. Utility service lines and infrastructure will be repaired and upgraded as necessary.

Project magnitude is between $10 million and $25 million.  This project will be acquired as a 100% Small Business set-aside. It is anticipated that the first phase of the RFP will be issued on or about 1 to 15 January 2024 and the first phase proposals will be due on or about 30 days later.
