This design-build solicitation notice is being advertised on an unrestricted basis, inviting full and open competition by all interested firms with specialized experience and qualifications required by this project.

This project is for the repair of a Water Distribution System at NAS JRB New Orleans, LA. This project involves all analysis, field investigation, solution development, computer modeling, permitting, design, construction and testing of the water system repairs so that the domestic potable water system will meet all water quality requirements of local, state, and Federal authorities while completely splitting the potable domestic water system from the non-potable flight line fire protection system so that the fire main system provides sufficient water to the hangars without affecting domestic water quality.

Final testing and commissioning of the water system will require the Contractor to prove that the performance criteria have been met in this Design-Build construction project.



This is a negotiated procurement utilizing a best value source selection process. Award will be made to the offeror whose total price and non cost/price proposal offers the best value to the government. Proposals will be evaluated on total price for the project.
