The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Sacramento District (SPK) anticipates a potential requirement for Design Build (DB) construction services to identify existing overhead (OH) power and cable lines and design the replacement of these elements with the construction of new underground (UG) wiring and fiber optic/copper infrastructure and new underground copper feeders at Fort Hunter Liggett (FHL), Monterey County, California (CA). This project is anticipated to include demolition and removal of remaining wooden support poles, and replacement of poles with attached overhead lighting and aluminum light poles, installation of new underground feeder infrastructure for any wooden utility poles with operational pole mounted transformers and the replacement of pole mounted transformers with new, pad mounted transformers with equivalent Kilo-volt-amperes (kVA) rating that is reconnected to the existing buildings' main distribution panels. Geographical areas covered by this project are unconnected and spread out over large areas of the Fort Hunter Liggett area of responsibility. Peripheral aspects of this project may also include erosion control, traffic control and the unification of new and existing underground power and communication infrastructure.

If solicited, the Government intends to award the contemplated requirement as a fixed-price contract by approximately September 2024. The Government estimates the anticipated requirement can be designed within two-hundred-seventy-five (275) days and constructed within seven-hundred-thirty days (730) calendar days. If market conditions indicate this estimate may be unrealistic, Respondents are encouraged to provide specific information (such as known equipment lead times or other timeline concerns) for Government consideration when responding to this Sources Sought Notice.
