This notice does NOT constitute a request for proposal, request for quote, or invitation for bid. The intent of this pre-solicitation synopsis is to make notice of a proposed contract action for a Design-Build (DB)/ Design-Bid-Build (DBB) Indefinite Delivery/ Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Small Business Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) for Waterfront Construction Services, Hampton Roads, Area of Responsibility (HR AOR). This contract(s) will require the ability to manage multiple task orders concurrently across the Hampton Roads AOR. The Waterfront Construction work includes, but is not limited to, the following elements: piers; wharves; quay walls; dry docks; bulkheads; crane rail systems; fender systems; berthing and mooring; and waterfront related utilities (e.g., steam; low pressure compressed air; fresh water; salt water; sanitary sewer; oily waste water collection; high voltage to low voltage electrical; and fire protection systems) and required staging and performing construction in or over open tidal waters from barges and/or other floating or affixed work platforms. The selected contractors will be responsible for all labor, supervision, engineering, design, materials, equipment, tools, parts, supplies, and transportation to perform all of the services described in the drawings and specifications provided for each individual project. It is anticipated that approximately six (6) contracts will be awarded as a result of this potential solicitation. The duration of the contracts will be for one (1) year from the date of contract award with four (4) one-year option periods, not to exceed 60 months. The total five-year (base and four one-year options) estimated construction cost for all contracts will not exceed $249,000,000.00 for the life of the contract. Projects awarded on this MACC will have an estimated construction cost of approximately $250,000.00 to $10,000,000.00; however, smaller and larger dollar value projects may be considered. The Government guarantees an award amount of $5,000.00 to each successful Offeror over the full term of the contract, including option years. The initial project (“seed project”) that will be awarded as the first task order concurrently with the basic contract is V-47 200’ Breakwater Pier, at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. The work includes construction of a small combination breakwater and pier near the entrance to the basin. The new V-47 Breakwater Pier will be designed to protect personnel accessing or operating watercraft along the bulkhead southwest of the breakwater during extreme weather events due to wave action. The breakwater pier will also be designed for berthing of various watercraft during calm weather. The pile supported breakwater pier will be approximately 200 feet long by 26 feet wide. In accordance with FAR 36.204, the magnitude of construction for the seed project is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. The procurement method utilized is the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, “Contracting by Negotiation.” This solicitation will be advertised as "Small Business" set-aside. This is a source selection procurement requiring both non-price (technical and past performance) and price proposals, and will utilize the best value continuum process at FAR 15.101-1, Tradeoff. The basis for evaluation and evaluation factors for award will be included in the solicitation. The appropriate North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this project is 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) with a Small Business Size Standard of $45,000,000. Offerors will be required to submit with their offer a bid bond of at least 20% of the proposed price but shall not exceed $3,000,000 of the amount for Construction Wage Rate Requirement (CWRR) (formerly known as Davis bacon Act (DBA)) work. A Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) and a Sources Sought Notice was initially conducted and issued on 07 February 2023, seeking eligible Small Businesses, HUBZone Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses. The Government invited prospective offerors with the capabilities of performing construction services that meet or exceed the stated requirement to submit a capabilities statement. Respondents were required to submit relevant experience in performing efforts of similar size, scope and complexity within the last ten (10) years. A second DSBS and Sources Sought Notice was published on 07 March 2023. Based on the market research conducted for this procurement, there is a reasonable expectation that two or more capable small businesses will propose on this requirement.
