About this opportunity
The United States Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District is soliciting design-build services for the renovation of the first floor of the Fountain City Service Base Office Building to support the Mississippi River Project Office. The project involves converting approximately 60% of the existing bulk storage space into a modern office layout, including window replacement, demolition, comprehensive construction, and installation of HVAC, electrical, network, and security systems. The procurement will use a two-phase competitive selection process, with Phase I consisting of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to identify and shortlist qualified design-build teams, and Phase II involving a Request for Proposals (RFP) from the shortlisted firms. Offerors will be evaluated based on four key factors: technical approach, design firm past performance, construction firm past performance, and key personnel qualifications, with evaluations utilizing adjectival ratings that consider strengths, weaknesses, and relevance to the project. The initial RFQ submission deadline was June 16, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. CT; however, the solicitation was amended on October 20, 2025 to cancel the original solicitation number W912ES25RA002, with the government planning to review requirements and potentially reissue under a different solicitation number.
This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with a small business size standard of $45.0 million in average annual receipts. No incumbent contractor or current contractor information is identified in the solicitation documents. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price design-build arrangement, though specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation. The project has a 365-day completion timeline from contract award and must comply with Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) DoD Building Code, with minimal disruption required to existing building network and electrical services. Work will be performed at the Fountain City Service Base located in Fountain City, Wisconsin 54629, with the government initially planning to shortlist three to five offerors from Phase I responses to compete in Phase II, where selected firms would have approximately 30 calendar days to prepare and submit technical and pricing proposals.
