CONSOLIDATION SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT for the Fire Station and Air Passenger Terminal at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), New England District, is issuing a Sources Sought Announcement for a construction contract to build a new Fire Station and Air Passenger Terminal (APT) at Hanscom Air Force Base (AFB) in Massachusetts. The purpose of this announcement is to determine the potential impacts of consolidation, as described below. The NAICS code for this procurement is 236220. The solicitation is scheduled to be issued in the fall of 2025. Construction will begin in the winter 2025 with an expected duration of approximately forty-eight months. The estimated construction cost is between $25,000,000.00 and $100,000,000.00.

Work under this contract will include the tasks outlined below. Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for preliminary layouts.

• Demolish Building 1639. This building is an existing, 394 sm single story facility that is an abandoned gas station.
• Construct a new fire station. The fire station will be constructed at the site of Building 1639 and will be a new single story 2,450 sm (26,371 sf) facility. The Fire Station proposed construction will consist of concrete foundation, reinforced floor slabs, steel framing and masonry walls, HVAC, central fire alarm, Emergency Communications Center with Fire and Security Forces Dispatch, paving, and landscaping.
• Construct a new APT. The APT building will be constructed north of the existing Building 1721 and will be a single story 478 sm (5,150 sf) facility. The Air Passenger Terminal will include the safety offices, Distinguished Visitors (DV), Lounge pavement for building access and turnaround, as well as sidewalks. The existing flightline perimeter fence will be re-routed to the new Air Passenger Terminal building location.
• Work will be executed in a phased approach. Building 1721 will be occupied, and therefore the building must be operational and accessible while construction of the new facilities is underway. After construction of each building has been completed and accepted, the tenants will then occupy that building. The new APT must be operational and accessible during the demolition of Building 1721.

The Government is considering consolidating all described work into one procurement package or splitting the project into two separate procurements. If the project is split into two procurements, one procurement would include the demolition of Building 1639 and construction of the new fire station and one procurement would be for the construction of the APT and demolition of Building 1721.

The results of this market research will be taken into consideration during the Government's determination to consolidate this work. Please describe how consolidating this work into one project will affect the offer's ability to do the work, either positively or negatively. Interested firms should submit a response to this notice to include a discussion of the potential consolidation.
