The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District is conducting market research to identify sources (Small Businesses and Other-than-Small Businesses) that have the knowledge, skills and capability to perform the work concerning the potential project described below. Responses are requested only from: POTENTIAL PRIME CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS WITH COMPANY BONDING CAPABILITY (SINGLE JOB) OF AT LEAST $65M. The responses to this source sought announcement will be used by the Government to make appropriate acquisition decisions for this project. Responses are to be sent via email to brandon.p.landis@usace.army.mil and courtesy copy brittany.c.gull@usace.army.mil no later than 2:00 p.m. CDT, 18 June 2024. Questions or concerns surrounding small business matters can be sent to cenwo-sb@usace.army.mil. Please include the Sources Sought Notice Identification Number in the Subject line of any email submission. Magnitude of Construction: Disclosure of the magnitude of construction, as prescribed in FAR 36.204 and DFARS 236.204, is between $25M and $100M. This project will be primarily funded with MILCON-appropriated dollars. Project Location and Description: The upcoming solicitation of the Power Independence Mission Control Station (MCS) at Buckley Space Force Base (SFB), Colorado (CO) will be executed using a design-bid-build (DBB) project delivery method, which will require the contractor to provide the Government with a complete facility and warranty based on the Request for Proposal (RFP). Construction will include all necessary facilities to provide utility and backup power to the Space-Based InfraRed Systems (SBIRS) mission at Buckley SFB, CO. Facilities to be constructed include a new power plant to house the backup generators and spaces for operational support; the backup generators; fuel storage and fuel offload facilities; commercial power, new transformers, medium voltage switches, manholes, and Underground Primary Distribution power lines; load bank connection and switching equipment; replicated powerplant controls in the existing powerplant building; and all associated support. Provide full load capability of 3.2MW after derating for operational and environmental factors with redundant capacity components to maintain the power resiliency required by the mission. The facility housing the generators will be structural steel columns or concrete masonry unit. The facility will also include a generator readiness support space, switchgear, and building auxiliary loads. Facility construction, electrical topology, and other ancillary capacity component supporting systems will provide compartmentalization, redundancy, concurrent maintainability, and automation features to isolate faults and systems to ensure the full required load capacity is maintained with respect to all facilities required to satisfy the Uptime Institute Tier IV principles and its associated sustainment duration length requirements and other governing Unified Facilities Criteria (UFCs). The facilities required to support the overall mission sustainment duration length (that is, the bulk fuel farm and distribution to deliver fuel to the portion of the system meeting Uptime Institute Tier IV principles) will be constructed in an arrangement using the principles of Uptime Institute Tier III for concurrent maintainability and other governing Unified Facilities Criteria (UFCs). This requirement also includes construction of new transformers to supply the SBIRS building from the new power plant at a different medium voltage service than that from which the existing transformers are served; and providing redundant utility power distribution to the new powerplant, supplied from an Auto Throw-Over (ATO) device via agreement (or amendment to an existing agreement) with the utility provider. This will require the construction of associated site drainage, pavement, and equipment for a new fuel offloading depot outside the restricted area. All other work will be performed within the Protection Level 1 (PL-1) perimeter away from the only Entry Control Facility and vehicular gate. The project will demolition of adjacent existing facilities. This project is authorized generators, per Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 32-1062, paragraph 3.1.14. Facility will be designed as permanent construction in accordance with Department of Defense Unified Facilities Criteria 1-200-01. This project will comply with Department of Defense antiterrorism/force protection requirements per Unified Facilities Criteria 4-010-01 as required for the application and conditions. Project Period of Performance: 730 Calendar Days from construction notice to proceed (NTP). Project Labor Agreement Requirements: Please note, this project may be subject to a project labor agreement as per Executive Order (E.O.) 14063. A separate project labor agreement survey will be posted to SAM.gov to assist with the market research of this acquisition. Submission Details: All interested, capable, qualified (under NAICS code 237990 - Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and responsive contractors are encouraged to reply to this market survey request. Interested PRIME CONTRACTORS ONLY should submit a narrative demonstrating their experience in construction projects of similar nature for each facility as described above.
