SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE FOR Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Truck Canopy (Construction) This announcement seeking Small Business responses in order to determine if a sufficient number of certified small business concerns with the required capabilities and financial resources exist to warrant issuance of a solicitation for this requirement under small business set aside procedures (FAR Part 19). Defense Logistics Agency in Richmond, VA intends to design a canopy to cover the truck delivery area on the west side of Building 98. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Norfolk, VA District is seeking a business capable of designing a canopy to cover the truck delivery area on the west side of Building 98 between the existing canopy to the north and the boiler room to the south, a distance of approximately 250 linear feet and 18 feet wide. The canopy is to match the appearance of the existing canopy to the north but is to be built of corrugated metal with no ceiling underneath. The canopy is to be cantilevered and sloped away from the building with no ground support and attached to the building in a manner similar to the existing canopy. The existing building is a steel frame with cmu curtain wall construction built in the 1940's. The existing lights on building 98 are to be reused and lowered in a manner similar to what was done on the existing canopy with new conduit and wires and the addition of light sensors to operate them. New lighting calculations are not needed. Existing storm drainage from the roof downspouts is to be rerouted onto the canopy where rainwater will be collected at the outer edge of the canopy and new downspouts will return to the building and then reuse the existing underground connections to the storm drain system. The existing fire sprinkler system will need to be expanded to cover the area under the canopy. Due to the age of the building, State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) notification is required. The Contracting Officer has classified this requirement as Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (NAICS) code 236220. The small business size standard is $36.5 million. The magnitude of this requirement is estimated to be between $250,000 and $500,000.00. THIS SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.
