PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE / SYNOPSIS

Project Description: MOTCO Containerized Ammunition Holding Facilities

Anticipated Posting Date: 18 October 2024

Pre-Solicitation Notice Number: W9123825B0001

SAM Posting Title: USACE SPK DBB – Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO) Containerized Ammunition Holding Facilities - Design-Bid-Build Construction – Concord, California (CA)

SAM Posting Description:

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Sacramento District (SPK) anticipates a  Design-Bid-Build (DBB) requirement to construct eleven (11) Containerized Ammunition Holding Facilities (CAHF), a.k.a. holding pads, each with ammunition storage pads, protective earthen berms, reinforced concrete retaining walls, all designed in accordance with Department of Defense (DoD) explosive safety standards.  

The CAHF must support container handling equipment for day and night operations, which must include improved or new pavements, lighting, fire protection, alarm systems, lightning protection systems, security fencing, intrusion detection systems (IDS), Closed Circuit Television (CCTV), information systems, and storm water drainage systems.

Supporting facilities include utilities and connections (water and fire suppression system, electric, storm water, and communications) and site development grading, landscaping, and pavement improvements, all focused on the management of munitions and explosives (MEC).

The intended facilities will be designed in IAW DoD’s Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 1-200-02) which includes a minimum of forty (40) year life and energy efficiencies, building envelope and integrated building systems performance.

In consideration of the final rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) on 22 December 2023, to implement Executive Order 14063, use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) on Federal Construction Projects mandated the use of PLAs where the total estimated cost of the construction contract is expected to be $35 M or more. Therefore, FAR 52.222-33 Alt I (JAN 2024) Notice of Requirement for Project Labor Agreement, a Project Labor Agreement will be required from the apparent successful offeror included in the forthcoming solicitation as a result.

The Government anticipates a 540-day (calendar) Period of Performance (PoP) for this project from receipt of the Notice to Proceed to include performance on all Options.

Due to the security posture at MOTCO, all individuals attempting to gain access to the facilities will have to comply with all security training protocols. Moreover, any individual that is not a United States Citizen will not be allowed to enter the facility.

In accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 236.204(ii), the magnitude of construction for the anticipated project is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000.

The Government intends to solicit an Invitation for Bids (IFB) in accordance with FAR part 14, that will result in award of a firm-fixed price contract.

The solicitation is anticipated to be issued using North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code 237990 Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction. The small business size standard for this NAICS, as established by the United States Small Business Administration (SBA), is $45,000,000 annual revenue. The Product and Service Code (PSC) is anticipated to be Y1GA Construction of Ammunition Storage Buildings.

The solicitation is anticipated to be issued as full and open competition through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE - https://piee.eb.mil) and Governmentwide Point of Entry, the System for Award Management (SAM - www.SAM.gov) on or about 1 November 2024 with bids tentatively due 13 December 2024.
