Contractor Awarded Address: Pleasanton, CA 94588 USA Base and All Options Value (Total Contract Value): $107,676,000.00 Description: Design-Build Construction of ARS/WSU Plant Bioscience Research Facility, Washington State University Campus, Pullman, WA. The U.A. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Seattle District (NWS) has a requirement for and intends to procure design and construction services to construct.....a new ARS/WSU Plant Biosciences Research Building (PBRB), located on the Washington State University (WSU) campus, within the Research Education Complex (REC). The site is approximately 2.5 acres and will be developed with supporting infrastructure utilities, paved surfaces, site lighting and landscaped areas. The building will be a maximum 113,703 GSF (per calculations as outlined in UFC 3-101-02) and shall provide research and office space representing a diverse mix of disciplines, programs, and groups of approximately 320 researchers and students. The building provides key connections within the REC complex with a direct connection to the Vogel Plant Sciences building to the west, providing office space for researchers with labs in Vogel. The laboratories required to support the important research missions range from typical Micro/Molecular Biology laboratories to Plant/Soil focused laboratories and other specific research-focused labs as well as many proposed shared research support laboratories. The laboratories are designed utilizing a Laboratory Typology Approach which utilizes a flexible and modular approach to allow space to change and adapt with the needs of the research groups over time. The adjacent Vogel and Plant Sciences buildings (REC5) must remain operational during construction with limited impact to existing building occupants where demolition is required to achieve the desired building connections. The project is projected to achieve the goals outlined by the ARS Policy and Procedure for Energy, Water and Sustainability, achieve minimum LEED Silver certification, respond to the Washington Energy Executive Order 20-01 for state efficiency and environmental performance and provide a healthy environment for all building occupants. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this project is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, and the associated small business size standard is $39.5 Million in average annual receipts. The Construction Cost Limitation (CCL) for this project is $89 million. For this potential project, 100 percent payment and performance bonds will be required. It is anticipated the proposed project will result in a firm fixed-price construction contract.
