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 performing pre-construction services and construction services for P-993/995, F-35 Aircraft Sustainment Center and Composite Repair Facility, Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point, North Carolina. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The F35 Sustainment Center is a 255,461 SF depot level hangar to support (20) F-35 aircraft. The facility is also a pilot project to evaluate the use of sustainable building materials in military construction (MILCON). In addition to the hangar maintenance bays, the project will also include 4 paint booths, administrative space, aircraft part modification and tool shops, and a secure area built to ICD705 standards. The main facility is a precast structural concrete panel with a pile supported foundation, slab on grade, and cross laminated timber roof deck. The structure is a single story with a two-story administrative space. The site development scope includes utility improvements to support entire Hancock Village, taxiway with a bridge and aircraft parking apron. The 105,755 SF Composite Repair Facility is a new consolidated depot-level facility for advanced composites and rotor blade repair. The project consists of two major sections, a composite repair and manufacturing shop that will include a disassembly area, parts kitting area, production control/clean parts area, assembly area to include climate controlled dirty room, bonding room, clean room, depot and fleet classrooms and engineering/laboratory space. Also included is an aircraft rotor blade repair shop that includes a disassembly and staging area, dirty room, sanding pit, and bonding room. Shared spaces that include painting, parts wash, freezer, hygiene facility, bathrooms, and breakrooms to minimize construction costs and improve sustainability. Construction of the facility consists of structural steel roof framing with standing seam metal insulated roof system on load-bearing concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls with exterior finish of brick veneer and metal wall panels. Foundation design includes reinforced concrete floor slabs on prepared subgrade, and shallow concrete spread footings bearing on controlled structural fill. The completed time for this contract is 1,274 calendar days after award. P993/995 are design-bid-build projects. This procurement will utilize the Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) approach and be procured in two segments: Segment I – Early Contractor Involvement Preconstruction Services and Segment II – Construction Services. Segment I - This solicitation is being advertised as "Unrestricted" for full and open competition. The Segment I source selection procurement requires both non-price (technical and past performance) and price proposals for the preconstruction efforts 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 for Segment I. The Government intends to select up to three contractors for award of the ECI preconstruction services. Segment II – The contractors who are selected for Segment I will be prequalified to propose on the construction services. Only the contractors who participated on the ECI segment will be prequalified. The Segment II source selection procurement requires both non-price and price proposals for the construction 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 for Segment II. Only one of the prequalified offerors who participated in the ECI will be selected for the construction services. The ECI preconstruction efforts will focus on P993 but will also consider coordination and schedule with P995. The P993 and P995 projects will be at the 65% design stage. The selected contractors for the ECI will work collaboratively with Designer of Record (DOR) and the Government team to improve the overall project delivery. The preconstruction services will generally include: reviewing and evaluating the design documents at specified stages of development to identify potential constructability challenges and risks; providing value engineering-style recommendations and alternative ideas to improve the final product considering cost and schedule; advising on efficient construction means and methods; providing regularly updated construction cost information with substantiating documentation; identifying construction cost and schedule risks and mitigation recommendations; and identifying opportunities to increase small business subcontractor participation. The DOR will collaborate with the Construction Contractor to ensure the design does not inhibit use of efficient construction means and methods, and to develop design solutions that avoid constructability challenges and minimize cost and schedule risks. The DOR will maintain responsibility for the quality and engineering compliance for the design, and the Construction Contractor’s involvement during the design phase does not absolve the DOR of this contractual responsibility or Architect-Engineer (AE) liability.
