Place of performance is Edinburg, Texas. The project involves modifying government-furnished, partially inventoried building materials to create a fully enclosed structure on all four sides, departing from the original engineer-stamped design of half-covered and half-open walls. Structural metal will be repurposed, moved, or added as needed. The facility will include one employee access door on the Northwest side and one roll-up door entrance on the South side, concrete footings, and utility integration. All work must comply with EPA requirements and Texas state and local codes, performed by EPA-certified technicians during normal business hours. A qualified job site superintendent must oversee the work. Completion deadline is 120 days from Notice to Proceed. An organized site visit is scheduled for July 30 at 9:00 AM at Building 6431, Moore Air Base.

The estimated construction cost is between $100,000 and $250,000. NAICS code is 332311, Prefabricated Metal Building and Component Manufacturing. PSC code is Y1AZ, Construction Of Other Administrative Facilities And Service Buildings. Quoters must submit a written technical approach demonstrating three similar projects, complete pricing breakdown, past performance information, and signed Standard Forms 1442 and 30 (if applicable). Award will be made to the highest technically rated responsible quoter offering a fair and reasonable price without tradeoff between price and non-price factors. Performance and payment bonds are required at 100% of original contract award price, due within 10 days of award. The government intends a single fixed-price award but reserves the right to make multiple awards if administratively cost-effective. Prevailing wage rates per Texas General Decision TX20260255 apply.
