SOURCES SOUGHT Design-Build Renovation of Building 164, Outdoor Recreation Center

The 482d Contracting Flight at Homestead Air Reserve Base is conducting a sources-sought market research for a potential design-build renovation of Building 164, Outdoor Recreation Center, with responses due October 26, 2026. This is a research phase, not a competitive solicitation; the flight intends to identify interested and capable firms, including socio-economic business concerns, before formal procurement.

The scope encompasses exterior facade improvements, roof replacement with high R-value insulation, interior renovations of break room, manager's office, and showroom spaces, new windows and doors, electrical and mechanical system upgrades, and construction of an exterior gazebo with connecting sidewalk. Work is structured in three phased options: Option 1 (building shell and exterior weatherproofing), Option 2 (full interior renovations), and Option 3 (outdoor gazebo and accessibility improvements). Design-build delivery requires mandatory design submittals at 65%, 100%, and final certified stages, with government review periods of up to 15 calendar days between phases. Contract performance is 120 calendar days from notice to proceed, with completion required no later than December 31, 2026.

Contractor qualifications include National Roofing Contractors Association membership, State of Florida Roofing Contractor License, manufacturer certifications from at least two roofing product companies, and a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for the selected roof system. The contractor must prepare comprehensive construction documents signed and sealed by licensed professionals and comply with UFC specifications, Florida Building Code, Miami-Dade County Code, OSHA requirements, and base Installation Facility Standards. A 20-year single-source no-dollar-limit water tightness roof warranty and manufacturer inspections are mandatory. Environmental compliance and hazardous materials management are required per applicable federal and state regulations. Pricing terms are not specified in the Statement of Work; contractor proposals must include all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary for completion. The SOW emphasizes selection of local contractors to reduce costs within budget constraints.
