This Sources Sought Notice is being issued for market research purposes to determine the availability, capability, and interest of small business firms for a potential Government requirement. NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE; requests for a solicitation will go unanswered. No award will be made from this Notice. Responses will be used to determine potential acquisition strategies, understand current market capabilities, and to gain knowledge of potential sources. GENERAL SCOPE: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Sacramento District (SPK), anticipates a potential requirement for design-build construction services to repair and renovate buildings and infrastructure in support of the Army’s 88th Readiness Division (RD) at Fort Douglas, Utah. The project is anticipated to include developing Government concept design drawings and specifications from 35% to 100%, repairing or replacing approximately 124 doors and/or door frames, transoms, and sidelites for twelve (12) buildings (including buildings 28, 100, and 102 - 109, which are designated historical buildings), addition of one (1) new common access card entry terminal in six (6) buildings, and installation of new common access card entry systems in two (2) buildings. Renovations must serve mission needs economically and practically and meet obligations under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Repairs or changes made to significant (contributing) resources must comply with Section 106 of the NHPA and associated guidelines for treatment of historic properties. All work must comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring & Reconstructing Historic Buildings, as well as applicable National Park Service Technical Preservation Briefs. Design concurrence from the State Historic Preservation Officer will be required before construction begins. The project is anticipated to include two (2) potential optional items: Option #1: Fully replace doors 100-1 and 100-2 with historically accurate door assemblies including door leaves, frame, transom, and sidelites. Option #2: Replace existing door leaves and frames on doors 100-10, 100-12, and 100-13 with historically accurate door assemblies excluding transoms; existing transoms will remain in place. The potential requirement may result in a solicitation issued approximately August 2022. If solicited, the Government intends to award the contemplated requirement as a firm-fixed-price contract by approximately 30 September 2022. It is estimated that construction of the anticipated requirement can be completed within ninety (90) calendar days. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 36.204(f), the Government currently estimates the magnitude of construction for this project to be between $1,000,000 and $5,000, 000. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for the potential requirement is anticipated to be 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The small business size standard for this NAICS, as established by the U.S. Small Business Administration, is $39.5 Million annual revenue. The Product Service Code for the potential requirement is anticipated to be Z2JZ, Repair or Alteration of Miscellaneous Buildings. If there is a reasonable expectation that at least two (2) responsible small business concerns under this NAICS can provide the anticipated services at fair market prices, the Contracting Officer is required to set the acquisition aside for small business concerns. If competition is set-aside for small businesses, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, requires that general construction small business Contractors self-perform at least fifteen percent (15%) of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials. If no set aside is made, the requirement is competed with full and open competition, and the awarded Contractor is not a small business, the Contractor is required to perform the percent of work identified in the solicitation under FAR 52.236-1, Performance of Work by the Contractor. Contractors with the skill, capabilities, workload capacity, and ability to obtain bonding to complete the project described above (either through self-performance and/or Subcontractor management) are invited to provide capability statements to the point of contact listed below. Other than small businesses are also encouraged to submit Capability Statements. CAPABILITY STATEMENT: Responses must be limited to ten (10) 8.5 inch x 11 inch pages with a minimum font size of point 10. Please provide the following information: 1) Company name, Employer Identification Number (EIN; previously DUNS #), address, point of contact, phone number, and e-mail address. 2) Experience and capability to complete contracts of similar magnitude and complexity to the potential requirement, including at least three (3) examples of comparable work performed within the past six (6) years. Each example should include a brief description of the project, description of the work performed (identification of self-performance and/or Subcontractor management), customer name, customer satisfaction, timeliness of performance, dollar value of the project, and whether there were any challenges experienced during the project (delays, investigations, health and safety issues, labor shortages, management/organizational issues, etc.). 3) Business size and socioeconomic type for the applicable NAICS (ex: certified HUBZone, Woman-Owned Small Business, Serviced-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), 8(a) Participant, small business, or other than small business (large business)). 4) Bonding capability (in the form of a Surety letter). Please submit all capabilities statements, information, brochures, and/or marketing material as one (1) document, limited to the page maximum above. Responses will not be considered an offer, proposal, or bid for any solicitation that may result from this Notice. Moreover, responses will not restrict the Government to an ultimate acquisition approach. This Notice is for information and planning purposes only. Respondents will not be notified of the results of any review conducted or the capability statements received. Please provide responses and/or questions by e-mail to the Contract Specialist, Jeremy Grimley, at (jeremy.j.grimley@usace.army.mil) by 1000 / 10:00 a.m. (PT) Thursday, 4 August 2022.
