Submitting a response will not affect a firm’s ability to submit a proposal should formal solicitation be issued in the future. NAICS Code: 236220 – Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (Note: While Other Transaction Authority is not subject to FAR-based small business regulations, this NAICS code is provided for market research to help the Government understand the size and demographics of the interested industrial base.) Small Business Size Standard: $45 Million PROJECT OVERVIEW The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), in support of U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC), IMCOM Directorate – Sustainment, and USAG Fort Belvoir, has a requirement for the design and construction of a project to restore and modernize Building 1809 located at 6020 30th Engineer Road, Fort Belvoir, Fairfax County, Virginia (22060-5200). The scope of work consists of furnishing all necessary design services, equipment, materials, labor, construction management, supervision, quality control, and supplies to deliver a fully functional, modernized, and code-compliant administrative and general-purpose storage facility on the Installation. Building 1809 was placed in service on July 24, 1961, and has exceeded its original 40-year estimated useful life. The asset is a single-story (1 floor above ground, 0 floors below ground, 20 feet in height), semi-permanent concrete structure (Construction Material Code: CONC; Structure Code: S20; Roof Code: R11; Wall Code: W25) comprising a total of 26,247 Square Feet (SF) with a design capacity of 76 persons (PN). The facility is configured for dual-purpose operations: Administrative Building, General Purpose (Category Code 61050): 16,014.61 SF (Design Capacity: 76 PN), supporting Air Force / U.S. Special Operations Command (AFELM US SOCOM, UIC: FFDY01). Storage Building, General Purpose, Installation (Category Code 44220): 10,232.66 SF, supporting USAG Fort Belvoir (UIC: W4VNAA). Despite a 100% utilization rate and a Mission Critical (Readiness Tier T1) designation, the facility currently holds a Current Use Functionality Capability Code of F3, indicating a significant requirement for restoration and modernization funds to make the asset capable of meeting the function for which it is used. Furthermore, the asset holds a Facility Physical Quality Code of Q4 (Physical Quality Rating: 57), meaning the sum of all necessary restoration and modernization costs is greater than 40 percent of the Plant Replacement Value (PRV). Summary of Building 1809 Real Property & Facility Parameters: Facility Parameter Specification / Status Facility Building 1809 Location 6020 30th Engineer Road, Fort Belvoir, Fairfax County, VA 22060-5200 Date Placed in Service July 24, 1961 (Original 40-year estimated useful life exceeded) Structure & Dimensions Single-story semi-permanent concrete (CONC / S20 / R11 / W25); 20 ft height Total Gross Area & Capacity 26,247.27 SF total (16,014.61 SF Admin; 10,232.66 SF Storage) | 76 PN Readiness & Condition Codes Mission Critical (Tier T1) | Functionality: F3 | Physical Quality: Q4 (Rating: 57) Key facility deficiencies and modernization requirements include: Fire Protection & Life Safety: The building is currently classified under Facility Fire Rating Code 1 (Unsprinklered Combustible). Comprehensive fire suppression and life safety upgrades are required to meet current UFC and NFPA codes. HVAC & Mechanical Systems: While the building is serviced by water, sewer, electrical, and telephone utilities, it currently lacks air conditioning (Air Conditioning: N). Modernized HVAC and climate control systems are required to support administrative personnel and storage preservation. Accessibility & Sustainability: The facility has not yet been evaluated for ADA compliance (Code: NEVL) or Sustainability (Code: 3 – Not Yet Evaluated). Full architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) modernization is needed to achieve code compliance, energy efficiency, and operational resilience. Historic Status: Determined Not Eligible for Listing (DNE, evaluated January 7, 2016). Metering: There are currently no utility metering records associated with this asset; smart utility metering integration will be required. Estimated Acquisition Magnitude: $10-12M PRIMARY ACQUISITION STRATEGY UNDER EVALUATION: Progressive Design Build (PDB) via Other Transaction Authority (OTA). The Louisville District is evaluating a Progressive Design Build (PDB) strategy utilizing an Other Transaction (OT) Agreement under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 2808a. This authority authorizes transactions other than standard contracts to carry out facility repair and construction projects – including planning, design, engineering, piloting and execution – enabling early contractor involvement, commercial pricing transparency, and schedule and cost efficiencies. Currently, the Government is evaluating conceptual requirements for the following facility modernization features: Installation of modern automatic fire suppression (sprinkler) and mass notification systems to eliminate unsprinklered combustible hazards. Complete mechanical/HVAC installation to provide full air conditioning, ventilation, and climate control across the 16,014.61 SF administrative space and 10,232.66 SF storage space. Building envelope rehabilitation (roofing, walls, structural concrete repairs) and interior reconfiguration to meet ADA accessibility and modern sustainability standards. Utility infrastructure upgrades, including advanced metering and electrical/communications modernization to support Mission Critical (T1) operations. The most recent physical existence inspection was conducted on August 28, 2023. The Government is utilizing this RFI to assess industry capability, interest, and the advantages of utilizing PDB via an OT Agreement under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 2808a. The PDB Course of Action (10 U.S.C. § 2808a): The evaluation process for selection of the most highly qualified design-builder would be qualifications based. A streamlined, two-step Qualifications-Based Selection would occur: Step 1: White Papers/Statement of Qualifications submission. Step 2: Down selected design builders would be invited to Pitch Meetings/Presentations. The most highly qualified firm following pitch meetings would be selected to enter into negotiations. The OT Award would be two phases: Phase 1 (Design & Pre-Construction): The Government team will negotiate the price of Agreement Phase I – Design and Pre-Construction Services with the selected design-builder. work collaboratively to advance the design, conduct open-book cost estimating, and mitigate project risks. Phase 2 (Construction): Upon reaching an agreed-upon level of design (e.g., 60% to 90%), the Awardee will propose a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). If the GMP is accepted, the Government will exercise Phase 2 for construction execution. If a GMP cannot be agreed upon, the Government retains an "off-ramp" to complete the design and construct the facility via alternative methods INFORMATION REQUESTED Interested parties are requested to respond to the following questions to help shape the final acquisition strategy.
