concrete floor slab, poured concrete foundation, structural steel frame, precast concrete exterior wall
panels, flat membrane roof, fire protection systems, intrusion detection system, all necessary utilities,
precise heating, ventilation and air-conditioning and humidity controls, isolation from building vibrations,
and site improvements. This facility includes secure/non-secure laboratory space/administration space,
Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 705, RF Shielding, an elevator, raised-floors and mission
support space. Local materials and construction techniques shall be used where cost effective. Construct
over 100 parking spaces.

Business contractors should respond to this survey via email by Wednesday, May 19, 2021 by
3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. This project will be solicited as a design-build to budget
project. The purpose of this solicitation method is to maximize the achievable scope within a
target budget ceiling (currently estimated at $7,000,000.00). The Design-Build to Budget project
will consist of a contractual budget ceiling for which contractors will propose the quantities,
configurations, construction type and other innovations that the proposing contractor can
complete within the budget ceiling. Negotiations will occur with those offerors invited to phase
2 to finalize the scope and cost after receipt of initial proposals. The goal is to allow maximum
flexibility in design and construction. The Government intends to only include the basic
requirements in the RFP. This will be a single (1) phase design-bid-build procurement.

1. Identification and verification of the company’s small business status.
