These multiple general construction contracts will provide NASA the capability to compete selected construction projects amongst a group of highly qualified general construction contractors for a five year period (base period and 4 one year option periods). Selection of this group of general construction contractors will be based on technical and price factors. Work will include a variety of construction related activities including new construction, renovation, and repairs at various locations at NASA ARC and Moffett Federal Air Field Complex. The work will include, but is not limited to: general and specialized construction activities (ex. roofing, demolition, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) and incidental related work. The activities relate to the new construction, renovation, and/or repair of facilities and infrastructure such as 1) aviation and aircraft facilities; 2) personnel housing facilities; 3) administrative facilities; 4) warehouses and supply faciliites; 5) medical facilities; 6) computer and research lab facilities; 7) wind tunnel and metal shop facilities; 8) abatement and handling of hazardous/regulated materials (asbestos, lead paint, and PCBs); and 9) the civil, sanitary storm water, mechanical and electrical systems supporting the facilities and infrastructure. A limited number of projects may require some design services. The solicitation will contain six (6) seed projects.
