The NAICS Code assigned to this acquisition is 236220 Commercial Building Construction, with a size standard of $39.5M. Work to be included in this project consists of: DESCRIPTION OF WORK: • Contractor shall provide all supervision, labor, materials and equipment necessary to fully meet all requirements of the Statement of Work, Construction Specifications, Construction Drawings and all other Contract Documents related to and/or titled: “Main Gate Vehicle Inspection Facility”, QJKL-040088-934CONF220002 at the Minneapolis Air Reserve Station, Minneapolis Minnesota. The purpose of this project is to provide a facility to inspect commercial vehicles to ensure no explosives or other damaging materials are present prior to the entering the base. Trades for this project include, but not limited to, Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, and Fire. BACKGROUND: Currently, a vehicle inspection facility is not present at the entrance to the base and, as a result, all inspections are conducted outdoors. Outdoor weather conditions frequently prevent security forces personnel from conducting thorough inspections of commercial vehicles, which increases the potential danger to the base, in the event a hazardous device is overlooked. Outdoor inspections are conducted in a tight pullout lane that does not have a hard surface wide enough to inspect vehicles without forcing inspectors to walk on the surrounding grass. Concrete curbs are also frequently damaged by large semi-trucks due to the tight turning radius required. Magnitude of construction is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. Respondents should indicate their size in relation to this size standard and indicate socio-economic status (i.e. SB, 8(a), HUBZone, EDWOSB, WOSB, or SDVOSB). Respondents are further requested to indicate their status as a Foreign-owned/Foreign-controlled firm and any contemplated use of foreign national employees on this effort. The Government reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside based upon responses hereto for any subsequent action. All prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database to be awarded a DoD contract. No set-aside decision has been made. Note that a key factor in determining an acquisition to be a Small Business Set Aside, is that small business prime contractors must perform at least 15% for general construction and 25% for construction by special trade contractors as defined in FAR Clause 52.219-14.
