No incumbent contractor or award value information is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as this is a market research phase preceding the formal solicitation. The project will be funded as an Operation and Maintenance, Army (OMA) modernization project and executed under the Design-Build contract method. Building 136 is a historically significant structure originally constructed in 1943 with a major addition in 1957, and the project will maintain continuous boiler operations throughout the repair period.
