The Baltimore District Corps of Engineers, Real Property Services Field Office, issues this pre-solicitation notice for a Single Award Task Order Construction Contract for the Western States. The geographic area for this contract is anticipated to be primarily Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada, but may be used throughout the Continental United States. This is a task order construction contract that will include both design-build and design-bid-build task orders. One contractor will be selected for award.

The scope of this contract encompasses a broad variety of major and minor repair, modification, rehabilitation, alterations, design / build, and new construction projects in support of the Intelligence Community (IC) and other DoD organizations and other agencies, organizations, and branches of the U.S. government and other customers within the supported secure community. The customers (users) to be serviced by this contract will predominately belong to secure agencies. These types of customers have assets distributed throughout the continental United States and the world. However, the proposed contract is anticipated to be limited to within the western states but may be utilized to extend throughout the United States. The type of work performed will be for secure and non secure sites and will include but not be limited to: design-build; construction; demolition; geo-technical investigation: infrastructure; interior fit-up; communications, security, and counter terrorism (including weapons of mass destruction) and force protection (AT/FP).

A Top Secret Facility Clearance is required at the time the offer is due and at time of award and throughout the life of the contract. In the event of a Joint Venture (JV), the clearance requirement will apply to the JV. This means that the entity identified in block 14 of the Standard Form 1442 must have the Top Secret Facility Site Clearance in that name along with the matching Cage Code. For example, if Company A and Company B forms a Joint Venture called Company AB, then Company AB must have an active Top Secret Facility Site Clearance. Even if both Company A and Company B each individually posses the clearance, unless Company AB posses its own Top Secret Facility Site Clearance, the proposal will not be eligible for award.
