This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) OR INVITATION FOR BID (IFB). This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract or otherwise pay for the information submitted in this request. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) supports multiple entities throughout the Department of Defense (DoD) by performing weapons testing and procuring test articles for weapons testing. DTRA operates test sites in several locations, including White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) and Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB). The testing plans and objectives often require the construction of test articles to validate the object being tested or to achieve certain results. These test articles are varied in design requirements and can include, but are not limited to multi-storied structures, above and underground carports, and underground bunkers built with reinforced concrete and high strength steel, and extensive tunnel systems at varying sizes, lengths, and varying depths below the surface. The purpose of this announcement is to identify all construction firms (no size restrictions) capable of performing the work outlined herein, in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements and U.S. Army Corps. Of Engineers, EM-385-1-1, Safety. Description of Work: An Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is contemplated. Task Orders will be issued on a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) and/or Time-and-Materials (T&M) basis, incentive type contracts may also be considered. The contemplated contract will have a total potential period of performance of ten (10) years, consisting of a five (5) year base period and a five (5) year option period. The total projected contract ceiling value is $280,000,000, or $140,000,000 for each five-year period. The following list of requirements are applicable to the planned contract: Construction of multi-story reinforced concrete or earthen filled structures (2-5 stories) with subsurface spaces and/or basement structures. Steel work, unique fabrication, erecting and construction of steel platforms and towers up to 100 feet in height. Construction and/or repair of remote dirt or partially paved roads. Installation of electrical systems and power supply. Trench work in soil and concrete to support placement of instrumentation for measuring data. Construction of berms (10 - 15 ft in height) for protection of blasting. Tunneling similar to mining: Drill/blast tunnels with diameters ranging from 5ft. to 30ft and lengths ranging from 50ft. - 800ft; may be D shape or circular profile. Subsurface materials vary. Requires tight tolerances of profile. Includes installation of reinforced concrete or shotcrete for surface remediation within the tunnel complex: end walls, inverts, and portal entrance. Drilling and placement of vent shafts or bore holes from varying depths to the surface within all types of subsurface materials (depths ranging from 10 - 35 ft). This includes coring and core sampling. Placement of shotcrete with tight tolerances, includes possible use of welded wire fabric, rock bolts, and installation of steels sets. Emplace portals and other types of door structures in underground structures. Earthwork, excavation, removal, transport, grading and compacting. Grading of earthwork may include slopes of up to 45 deg and excavation at varying elevations (15 ft and below). Operation of Heavy lift equipment: cranes, rough terrain forklifts, etc. to support test bed preparation efforts. General construction efforts may include, but are not limited to, rough and finish carpentry, painting, roofing, low-voltage electrical, plumbing, and masonry. Management and experience with providing tunnel rescue teams and ventilation of confined spaces and management of air quality controls. Demolition of steel and concrete structures. Perform and review LIDAR surveys of both tunnel construction and the surface excavation; excavation may be required to be within 6" of theoretical profile. Perform geological surveys to validate subsurface materials in support of testing objectives and construction standards. Environmental remediation of various hazardous and non-hazardous materials, structures, and general site soil as part of construction and remediation efforts. Location of work: Most primary constructions sites are located on WSMR, NM approximately 45 miles from the closest base entrance (KAFB). The WSMR entrance is located approximately 25 miles from the nearest town (Las Cruces, NM) and is considered remote with little direct support for services. There are concrete batching facilities located no more than 25 miles from the potential sites. Note that there is a possibility construction will be required at other DTRA testing sites (i.e., KAFB). Applicable NAICs Codes: 2379 - Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (primary); 1622 - Bridge, Tunnel, Elevated Highway; 1629 - Heavy Construction Not Elsewhere Classified Response Requirements: In response to this Sources Sought publication, provide a Capability Statement document with a limit of 15 pages. Submissions should include pertinent information demonstrating your company's capabilities to accomplish the specific work described above. In addition, include a list of any similar projects completed in the last 5 years. Other information can include general company data, key personnel, current/potential business partnerships, core competencies, differentiators (unique capabilities), and point of contact (POC) information. The Government is also requesting input from interested firms regarding the best contract type(s) to accomplish the construction work described in this announcement.
