Design-Build Construction Project for a Systems Management Engineering Facility

Added: Nov 04, 2016 2:09 pm
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be issuing a solicitation for a 2-step design-build contract for the design and construction of a Systems Engineering Management Facility (SMEF). The SMEF is a 2-story building consisting of approximately 40,000 gross square feet located on the Hanscom Air Force Base (HAFB), Bedford, MA. The NAICS code for this procurement is 236220. The estimated construction cost is expected to range from $15,000,000.00 to $20,000,000.00.
 

The Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC), on behalf of HAFB, proposes to construct a new Systems Engineering Management Facility to replace an aging structure built in 1953-1955. The new facility will be located on base adjacent to existing building 1604 which was constructed as the first phase of this two phase project. Building 1604, which is complete, created a new 2-story 30,000 square foot office building. The second phase and focus of this notice, will add an additional 40,000 square feet adjacent to building 1604. Additionally, as part of the SMEF project, existing building 1600 will be demolished after the current occupants are moved to the new SMEF building.

The SMEF design and construction will utilize economical design and construction methods compatible with applicable DoD, Air Force, and base design standards. The project will include design and construction of the SMEF building, which is primarily office space, new access road, landscaping, site improvements, and necessary utilities and communication systems. The facility will be designed as permanent construction in accordance with DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 1-200-01, General Building Requirements and UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements and the facility will be LEED Silver certified. The facility shall comply with DoD minimum Antiterrorism Standards for buildings per UFC 4-010-01.

This is not a request for proposals at this time. The solicitation requirements and contract documents to include instructions for submission and the response date will be available on or about December 1st, 2016.
