Additionally, this notice seeks to gather names of contractors interested in attending the site visit for the Base Access Request (BAR), which will be facilitated by the US Government.

Projects Description:   This Design-Build (DB) project involves the construction of a single-story, column-free warehouse facility. This project must be designed and constructed in accordance with either the International Building Code (IBC), the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and other applicable Thai government regulations as stated in the Request for Proposal (RFP). All constructed facilities must adhere to applicable quality, safety, and environmental standards, ensuring resilience against adverse weather conditions, including heavy rainfall during the rainy season. The Contractor is required to retain a Geotechnical Engineer experienced and licensed in the geographic region of the project to develop geotechnical requirements to support design and construction. Additionally, the contractor must integrate sustainable design principles to reduce long-term maintenance costs and promote environmental stewardship. The proposed requirements are as follows:

CLIN 0001 Construct a Single-Story Warehouse, Chiang Mai, Thailand

Design and construct a single-story, column-free warehouse facility with approximate dimensions of 54 meters by 18 meters and a minimum clear headroom of 7 meters from the finished floor to the low point of the rigid steel frame haunch. This covered warehouse structure features a reinforced concrete floor with perimeter pedestals, concrete columns, a structural steel roof frame, and metal sheet roofing. The column-free interior warehouse floor will be designed to support industrial-grade loading, capable of accommodating forklift operations and portable manual crane activities with a load capacity of 10,000 kgs. The facility will also feature an electrically operated entrance door of adequate height to ensure seamless access for forklifts and manual cranes.

CLIN 0002 Construct Enclosed Wall for the Single-Story Warehouse, Chiang Mai, Thailand

Provide a 20 cm thick reinforced concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls, finished with plaster and paint, extending to a height of 3.00 m above the finished floor level. Above this, the walls shall be a metal sheet ventilated louver, spanning from 3.00 m above the finished floor to the underside of the roof sheet. Provide galvanized steel roller shutter doors, width 6 m, height 5.5 m with  electric motorized operation and manual override. Provide a corrosion-resistant mesh over all ventilated grilled walls, open areas, such as vents, eaves, and other openings that could allow bird entry.

Project Magnitude is between US$250,000 and US$500,000 (FAR 36.204 Disclosure of the magnitude of construction projects).
