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 United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Sacramento District (SPK) anticipates a potential requirement for a design-bid-build project in support of the Defense Distribution Depot, San Joaquin (DDJC) Tracy, located in Tracy, CA. The Contractor shall provide all labor, material, and equipment necessary to effect column repairs in Warehouse 16-B. In total, fourteen (14) columns will be repaired consisting of three (3) corbel style repairs and eleven (11) column style repairs. The contractor shall also be required to disconnect and modify electrical wiring and conduit that is mounted on the existing column faces to accommodate the installation of the proposed repair. Any required modification to electrical wiring and conduits shall allow the circuit to function as originally designed or better. All repair methods shall meet all applicable codes (United Facilities Criteria (UFC), ASCE-7, local building codes, NEC and any other applicable code). The following construction constraints will be incorporated into the final solicitation and should be considered when determining interest in this requirement: 1. The contractor shall be limited to the demolition and construction of 1 column face per section. This will allow maximum use of the warehouse space to accomplish mission activities. 2. Construction shall have minimal to no impact to mission activities. 3. Construction shall occur during off peak warehouse hours (1600 -0530). Weekend work is acceptable but must also occur during these hours. 4. The contractor shall retain a Geotechnical Engineer who specializes in foundations. The Geotechnical Engineer shall be present during the excavation for the new column footings to ensure that any unstable or unknow conditions are appropriately addressed by a competent person. 5. The contractor shall retain a Structural Engineer who specializes in structural retrofits and bracing. The Structural Engineer shall be present when the contractor jacks the roof girder to install the temporary column at all locations to ensure that unsafe conditions are appropriately addressed by a competent person. 6. Contractors will be required to submit employee’s information on the secure Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) Pre-Enrollment Portal to initiate pre-vetting and the subsequent issuance of access badges. 7. Suppliers, vendors, or other one-time/occasional visitors will require prior notification to the Security Officer and escorted to the project site. The anticipated requirement may result in an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation issued in approximately April 2024. If solicited, the Government intends to award the contemplated requirement as a firm, fixed-price construction contract by approximately June 2024. The Government estimates that construction of the potential requirement can be completed within 365 calendar days from receipt of Notice to Proceed. If market conditions indicate this estimate may be unrealistic, Respondents are encouraged to provide specific information (such as known equipment lead times or other timeline concerns) for Government consideration. 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.
