The government anticipates issuing a solicitation around June or July 2025. Additionally, this notice seeks to gather names of contractors interested in attending the site visit for the Base Access Request (BAR), which will be facilitated by the US Government. Due to host nation security requirements, the only way to access the site visit is the BAR submitted by the US Government. Any requests for site access after the response date will not be considered. Project Description: This is a Design-Build (DB) project to provide a facility located within the boundaries of NDOB, Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines (RP). This construction project must be designed and constructed in accordance with the International Building Codes (IBC), and Philippines Codes as stated in the Request for Proposal (RFP). This Design-Build (DB) project involves the complete design and construction of a new Boat Maintenance Facility (BMF). The facility will support the repair and maintenance of various host nation vessels, including 7.32-meter (24-foot) watercraft and other smaller conventional boats. A portable 5-ton gantry crane will be incorporated, featuring a hoist with smooth lateral movement and mounted on wheels for easy maneuverability. The facility will also include two multi-purpose interior rooms suitable for equipment storage or conference use. The project also includes repair and improvement of the existing boat ramp and boathouse, addressing the current ramp's steep slope to facilitate proper launching of watercraft. Project Magnitude is between US$1,000,000 and US$5,000,000 (FAR 36.204 Disclosure of the magnitude of construction projects). A Pre-Proposal Site Visit (PPSV) for this project is tentatively scheduled for July 2025. The site visit is to provide Offerors with an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the job sites and conditions to be encountered and is not for the purpose of answering questions. Offerors interested in the project must complete the attached Base Access Request (BAR) and provide the required information to attend the PPSV. Submit it to the site access coordinators listed below by May 28, 2025, no later than 11:00 am Thailand Time.

To: Ms. Djarell Buenavente (Site Access Coordinator) Email: BuenaventeDP@state.gov / mnlnavfacroicc@state.gov cc: artitar@state.gov and williamsrg@state.gov Note: -Contractors may submit up to 4 names (2 primaries and 2 alternates), but only 2 participants, 1 driver, and 1 vehicle, per company shall be allowed to attend the PPSV. The driver can enter the base but must remain in the vehicle throughout the site visit. The driver is not permitted to attend the site visit or replace any of the attendees during the site visit and must present a valid form of identification or passport for base access. -This base access process is only for the list of attendees the US Government is facilitating. Contractors that request access after the required date will not be added to the US Government list but will still be allowed to attend the site visit with two attendees if they can get access to the base on their own. This is a limitation imposed by the host nation. Contractors are not allowed to inspect the project sites outside of the scheduled site visits. Any Contractor that does a site inspection outside of the scheduled site will be disqualified and ineligible for award due to having a competitive advantage.
