Cost Estimate to Change Site Location of the Chaffee Replacement Housing Project

Mission and Installation Contracting Command, Fort Hood, TX intends to award a sole source purchase order for the procurement of a detailed cost estimate to evaluate the scheduling and construction impacts associated with changing the site location of the Chaffee Replacement Housing project from its currently planned location to Lend Lease LLC, 1801 West End Ave Ste 1700, Nashville TN 37203-2526. Lend Lease (LL) serves as the Army's partner in the Residential Communities Initiative (RCI) at Fort Hood. LL and its technical arm, Lend Lease Design and Technical Svc, have managed the construction, repair, renovation, and maintenance of the Family Housing since 2001, and possess both thorough and proprietary data about the buildings, their construction, and their potential replacement. Since LL will actually execute said construction, only LL can provide an estimate to which LL will be bound. Further, the numerous agreement documents requiring review and planning for modification are not all public documents, and a third party would not be allowed to review, let alone plan to modify, those voluminous and wide-ranging documents. Finally, LL has exclusive rights to perform Design work for the partnership, further disabling the authority of any other estimator. No other vendor could prepare a cost estimate that we could later use to bind LL for the cost and execution of the actual construction work. An outside estimate could not be binding upon LL. This acquisition is conducted under the provision of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is 531390 - Other Activities Related to Real Estate. All responsible sources may submit a quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. This notice of intent is not a request for quotes; however, interested persons may identify their interest and capability by responding within 7 days after the date of electronic publication of this synopsis. All responses must be provided no later than 1700 CST 12 August 2011. A determination not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
