It is requested that interested parties submit a brief capabilities package, to include the NAVFAC Sources Sought Contractor Information Form and Sources Sought Construction Experience Project Data Form provided as attachments to this notice in order to demonstrate the ability to perform the services described.

For each of the submitted relevant projects (a maximum of five projects), ensure that the form is completed in its entirety for each project and limited to two pages per project. Ensure that the description of the project clearly identifies whether the project is new construction or renovation, the square footage and final construction cost, and addresses how the project meets the scope/complexity requirements.

The Source Sought Project Information Form shall be used to document a minimum of two (2) and up to a maximum of five (5) recent and relevant construction projects completed within the last five (5) years of similar size, scope and complexity to this project. Knowledge of the state regulations within the Area of Operation. Indicate whether your firm worked as a prime or subcontractor, contract value, brief description of how the referenced contract relates to the work described, and a Government/Agency point of contact. 

A relevant project is further defined as:

Size: Over 12,000 square feet of restroom/locker room floor area, with a Final construction cost of $25M or greater.

Similar Scope: Renovation or new construction of hospital common (multiple stall) restrooms, locker rooms, and showers in a fully occupied hospital; with renovation being more relevant than new construction. Design-build experience is preferred, with the most relevant being design-build experience with a professionally registered Architect/Interior Designer/Engineer design team on similar size, scope and complexity projects.

Similar Complexity: While also meeting the size and scope requirements set out above, the following complexity requirements must be met collectively by the projects submitted, i.e. each submitted project does not require demonstrated experience with all of the following components, but collectively, experience with all of the complexity elements below must be established throughout the submitted relevant projects:

1. Experience renovating or constructing plumbing fixtures including water closets, urinals, showers, and solid surface mounted lavatory sinks inside a fully functional and fully occupied hospital;
2. Experience renovating or constructing porcelain tile floors and walls, as well as ceramic tile shower walls and floors inside a fully functional and fully occupied hospital;
3. Experience renovating or constructing hard-wired hands-free plumbing fixture controls, power receptacles, and LED light fixtures inside a fully functional and fully occupied hospital;
4. Experience renovating or constructing multiple restrooms/locker rooms simultaneously in addition to multiple-phases (as opposed to a single construction phase) of construction inside a fully functional and fully occupied hospital.

Note: Offerors must demonstrate experience with all of the work elements set forth above. This experience may be demonstrated cumulatively through all of the projects submitted by an offeror. In order for a project to be determined relevant, it must meet the size requirement and at least one of the scope/complexity items.

Ensure that the project description clearly identifies the final construction cost and addresses how the project meets the scope/complexity.

Please note that if you are responding as an 8(a) Mentor-Protégé, you must indicate the percentage of work to be performed by the protégé. A copy of the SBA letter stating that your 8(a) Mentor-Protégé agreement has been approved would be required with your proposal, if requested.

Any commercial brochures or currently existing marketing material may also be submitted with the capabilities package.
