Renovate Ni-Cad Battery Shop B2131H

The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces is seeking architectural and engineering services to prepare complete construction documents for the renovation of approximately 671 square feet of interior space to house a nickel-cadmium (Ni-CAD) Battery Shop at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. This is currently a Request for Information (RFI) only, issued for market research and planning purposes prior to formal solicitation, with responses due by March 27, 2026. Qualified firms must demonstrate a minimum of five years of Department of Defense project experience, hold professional licensing in Hawaii for principal architects and engineers, and possess expertise in industrial and shop facilities with hazardous ventilation and safety interlocks. The Air Force is actively seeking to identify competition and qualified potential sources, with particular emphasis on small business set-asides including 8(a), woman-owned, HUBZone, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Respondents should submit no more than four pages addressing company information (DUNS and CAGE codes, business size classification, socio-economic status), similar contracts performed, and capability statements demonstrating comparability to the project requirements, but should not submit cost or price data as this RFI does not constitute a binding commitment to award a contract.

The contract is not using any set-aside designations at this pre-solicitation stage, though small business preferences will be applied during formal solicitation. No incumbent contractor is identified for this market research phase. While no award value is provided in the pre-solicitation materials, the NAICS code has been identified as 541210 (Architectural Services) with a size standard of $12.5 million. The anticipated contract structure will be Firm-Fixed Price with a desired delivery of 120 calendar days after award execution, including design development documents (65% complete) within 60 days, pre-final construction documents (95% complete) within 100 days, and final construction documents (100% complete) within 120 days. The A-E firm must deliver five full-size sets of hard-copy drawings and specifications along with digital searchable PDFs and native editable files at the 100% milestone, comprehensive cost estimates with basis of estimate, comment resolution matrices, and a hazard classification memorandum.
