About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces is seeking architectural and engineering services to design replacement hangar doors at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska for Buildings 1340 and 1362. The project involves developing design solutions for two distinct scenarios: converting 32 vertical fabric doors in Building 1362 to Megadoor VLF systems and replacing an inoperable hangar door in Building 1340 with either a tip-up counterweight or external sliding door configuration. The design work requires comprehensive documentation including 35% and 100% design plans, cost-benefit analyses, and technical specifications covering electrical upgrades, generator hookups, catwalk systems, and heat tracing installations. Interested vendors must respond to the Sources Sought notice by emailing the contract administrator Kimberly Graham and contracting officer SrA Christopher Prince by January 9, 2025. The solicitation is part of a market research effort to identify capable vendors for this specialized engineering project.
The opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, targeting firms specializing in engineering services with NAICS code 541330. The project involves detailed site investigations including geotechnical borings and environmental sampling at Building 1340, with specific technical requirements such as installing 10 feet of glycol heat tracing and conducting comprehensive assessments of soil profiles and potential contaminants. Current contractors identified include International Door Company (existing door manufacturer) and C4 Doors (which conducted the initial field survey). While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the project involves complex design work with multiple review stages and strict delivery timelines, including 35% design documents due 42 days after Notice to Proceed and final 100% documents due 14 days after the corresponding Notice to Proceed. The work is driven by the need to address higher than normal maintenance costs and resolve non-functional hangar door systems at the air force base.
Notice text
The Sources Sought notice is posted by the Government agency seeking possible sources for a project. This notice is not a solicitation for work or a request for proposal. The purpose of this notice is to identify interested and capable vendors to perform the work described below and to incorporate the results of this notice into the Government's Market Research Report.
This Statement of Work (SOW) describes the Government’s requirement for the design to replace the hangar doors at Buildings 1340 and 1362 at Eielson Air Force Base (AFB), AK. The hangar door at Building 1340 is currently inoperable. A survey was conducted to assess whether repairs without redesign were feasible, but it concluded that repair was out of scope. Therefore, this project is to develop a design and conduct a cost-benefit analysis to determine the best hangar door type and the manufacturer offering the lowest maintenance cost over the lifespan of the new door.
Additionally, Eielson AFB is experiencing higher than normal maintenance costs and labor hours for all 32 vertical fabric doors manufactured by International Door Company in Building 1362, compared to nearby facilities using a different manufacturer. This project shall develop the design and cost estimate to convert these doors to systems manufactured by Megadoor.
Building 1362: The A-E shall provide 100% design documents for the converting from the current door system to a Megadoor VLF. The design shall include:
• Installation of exterior generator hookups and required interior electrical upgrades to ensure the facility can be powered via generator during outages.
• Design of a catwalk system within the facilities’ mechanical room, allowing access to the HVAC system, which currently lacks accessible pathways.
Building 1340: The A-E shall provide two 35% design COAs for the inoperable hangar door; one as a tip up door using a single counterweight system and the other as an external sliding door. Based on the selected option, the A-E shall deliver 100% design documents. The design shall include:
• Installation of 10 feet of glycol heat tracing in front of the hangar doors extending to the apron.
• Any necessary electrical or HVAC upgrades to accommodate the new door system.
• Site investigations, including two borings, to assess soil profiles and environmental contaminants required for the civil/structural design and glycol work.
Respond to this notice by emailing the contract administrator Kimberly Graham at kimberly.graham.3@us.af.mil and the contracting officer SrA Christopher Prince at christopher.prince.3@us.af.mil stating your firm's interest inaccomplishing this effort.
