This Sources Sought Notice is being issued for market research purposes to determine the availability, capability, and interest of small business firms for a potential Government requirement. NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE; requests for a solicitation will go unanswered. No award will be made from this Notice. Responses will be used to determine potential acquisition strategies, understand current market capabilities, and to gain knowledge of potential sources.

GENERAL SCOPE:

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Sacramento District (SPK) anticipates a potential requirement for design-bid-build (DBB) construction services to repair and improve the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Disposition Services facility located within Sierra Army Depot, in Herlong, California (CA).

The project is anticipated to include site improvements and renovation of existing pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB). Work for building 314 is anticipated to include complete replacement of exterior windows and doors, plumbing systems (including under-slab sanitary sewer and sewer connection out of the septic system), mechanical systems, electrical systems, fire alarm systems, and communication systems. Work for building 315 is anticipated to include work to improve envelop deficiencies. Site improvement work is anticipated to include improving the existing hard stand site area, replacing the existing truck scale with a new truck scale, installing radiation monitors, and replacing and expanding the concrete demilitarization pad.

The Government anticipates the requirement will be fully designed. The Government estimates the requirement can be constructed within seven hundred and 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.

The potential requirement may result in a firm-fixed-price solicitation issued approximately November 2024. If solicited, the Government intends to award the contemplated requirement as a fixed-price contract by approximately February 2025.

In accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 236.204(i) the Government currently estimates the magnitude of construction for this project to be between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000.

The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for the potential requirement is anticipated to be 237990, Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction. The small business size standard for this NAICS, as established by the U.S. Small Business Administration, is $45,000,000.00 annual revenue. The Product Service Code for the potential requirement is anticipated to be Y1JZ, Construction of Miscellaneous Buildings.

If there is a reasonable expectation that at least two (2) responsible small business concerns under this NAICS can provide the anticipated services at fair market prices, the Contracting Officer is required to set the acquisition aside for small business concerns. If competition is set-aside for small businesses, FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, requires that general construction small business Contractors self-perform at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials. If no set aside is made, the requirement is competed with full and open competition, and the awarded Contractor is not a small business, the Contractor will be required to perform the percent of work identified in the solicitation under FAR 52.236-1, Performance of Work by the Contractor.

Contractors with the skill, capabilities, workload capacity, and ability to obtain bonding to complete the project described above (either through self-performance and/or Subcontractor management) are invited to provide capability statements to the point of contact listed below. Other than small businesses are also encouraged to submit Capability Statements.
