Demolish vacant BEQ buildings

This is not a request for either a quote or proposal, or an invitation for bid. The intent of this pre-solicitation synopsis is to notify potential offerors of a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) standalone contract to provide construction and demolition services to demolish two (2) vacant barrack buildings at Great Lakes Naval Station, Great Lakes, IL.

A sources sought notice was posted on 7 January 2026 under Notice ID ACQR6129375 to determine availability and capability of businesses to perform the requirement. Based on market research results, the procurement will be solicited as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business set‐aside.

The Contractor shall furnish all labor, tools, transportation, supervision, materials, inspections, equipment, and safety compliance necessary to perform all work required to completely demolish and remove Building 532, a vacant 3-story student barrack building with a partial basement, and Building 132H, a vacant 4-story student barrack onboard Naval Station Great Lakes in Great Lakes, IL.

The work identified is to be provided by means of a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract. The estimate for this contract is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 and period of performance is 520 calendar days.

Source Selection procedures will be used to select the proposal that provides the lowest price and is technically acceptable to the Government. Offerors will be evaluated using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method.

In order to permit efficient competition, the Navy will utilize the following methodology: Proposals will initially be screened for price and placed in order of price (lowest price to highest Price). The Navy will then evaluate the non-price factors of the lowest priced proposal. The Navy will award to the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable proposal. However, if the lowest priced proposal is not found to be technically acceptable, the Navy, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to increase the number of proposals it will review, until the Government identifies a technically acceptable proposal. Accordingly, under this methodology, the non-price factors of some proposals may not be evaluated by the Navy. If discussions are deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer, all proposals will be evaluated (both non-price and price) for the purpose of establishing a competitive range.

The solicitation and resulting contract award will be a firm-fixed price construction contract made to the responsible offeror whose proposal, conforming to the Request for Proposals (RFP), will provide the best value to the Government.
