About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, South Atlantic Division - Wilmington District published a Special Notice announcing an Industry Day event to provide information and gain feedback on an upcoming project to design and construct a Net-Zero Carbon Unaccompanied Personnel Facility at Fort Liberty, North Carolina.

The Industry Day event will allow prime contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers to learn about the requirement to construct a new 4-story, 146-soldier barracks incorporating sustainable features to achieve net-zero carbon standards. Interested parties are instructed to register for the November 8th virtual event and submit any questions in advance. The procurement will utilize an Integrated Design and Construction delivery method with the design contract already in progress, while early work packages not requiring design may be awarded in the interim. Responses to the sources sought notice on SAM.gov by the specified date are required for consideration for the forthcoming solicitation to be conducted using firm-fixed-price, fixed-price incentive terms.

Description
 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, South Atlantic Division – Wilmington District is hosting a Virtual Industry Day on 8 November 2023 at 1:00 p.m. (EST) to provide information and gain feedback from industry on an upcoming requirement for the design-construction of the Net-Zero Carbon – Unaccompanied Personnel Facility located at Fort Liberty, North Carolina.

The event will allow prime contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers to learn about this upcoming construction project. The event aims to seek industry input regarding best practices and examples of past success on similar projects. The two-hour event will include presenting the project history, a summary of major work features, constraints and challenges, and project delivery methods. A live question and answer session with USACE personnel will immediately follow the presentation.

The Government anticipates this procurement to be solicited as a competitive firm fixed priced and fixed-price incentive (successive target) type contract. In addition, the anticipated acquisition strategy is to utilize the Integrated Design and Construction (IDaC) delivery method. 

"Integrated Design and Construction" is a project delivery method where design and construction are contracted concurrently through two efforts. Specific to this project, the design (i.e., architect-engineer) will be procured under one contract, with a second contract award being made to a construction contractor. The proposed strategy permits an award of the construction contract early in the project's development through a competitive process. This early construction contractor involvement enables the selected construction contractor to provide constructability, cost input, etc., to the Designer of Record as the design progresses.

The Government is seeking industry feedback on the IDaC strategy (e.g., past/present experience and/or similar commercial practice).

SUMMARY OF PROJECT SCOPE:

The project scope of work consists of construction of a Net-Zero Unaccompanied Personnel Housing Facility at Fort Liberty in North Carolina. The housing facility will provide a new 146 soldier 4-story Barracks meeting the 2021 Army Standard requirements. This barracks will include dwelling units that consist of sleeping quarters with walk-in closets, kitchen, living area, bathroom, and laundry. Commons areas include a dayroom, lobby, Charge of Quarters, fitness room and vending area. The building exterior wall will utilize materials and products with “low” Global Warming Potential as defined in the Carbon Leadership Forum’s 20 July 2021 Material Baselines reports. The projects include materials such as: Concrete, Masonry, Steel, Aluminum, Insulation and Cladding.

Additional Sustainable features are to include optimal solar orientation and shading, daylighting, natural ventilation, superinsulation, high performance glazing, elimination of thermal bridges and increased airtightness of construction.

ATTENDING THE INDUSTRY DAY IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL PROSPECTIVE VENDORS. The industry day is open to the vendor community of prime contractors and significant subcontractors.

The Virtual Industry Day Event will take place from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. November 8, 2023, Eastern Standard Time via Webex.
