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 United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Sacramento District (SPK) anticipates a potential requirement for design-bid-build (DBB) construction services to build a new single story 9,950 square foot (SF) Headquarters (HQ) Building and a new single story 3,200 SF Maintenance Shop to support USACE administrative, ranger, and maintenance staff at R.L. Schafer Dam and Success Lake in Porterville, California (CA). The buildings are anticipated to be metal stud construction and include management offices, open cubicle work areas, conference room, dam monitoring & equipment room, telecom room, mechanical & electrical room, restrooms, kitchen, storage room, document room, copy room, visitors’ entry area, and maintenance area. The project is anticipated to include the demolition and removal of four (4) existing buildings, as well as new building construction, grading, utilities, asphaltic concrete paving, sidewalks, curbs, fencing, and landscaping. The Government estimates that construction of the anticipated requirement can be completed within five hundred and forty (540) calendar days from receipt of Notice to Proceed (NTP). 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 when responding to this Sources Sought Notice. The anticipated requirement may result in a firm-fixed-price solicitation issued approximately October 2024. If solicited, the Government intends to award the contemplated requirement as a firm fixed-price contract by approximately January 2025. In accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 236.204(i), the Government currently estimates the magnitude of construction for this project to be between $10,000,000.00 to $25,000,000.00. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for the potential requirement is anticipated to be 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building. The small business size standard for this NAICS, as established by the U.S. Small Business Administration, is $45 Million annual revenue. The Product Service Code for the potential requirement is anticipated to be Y1JZ, Construction 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 will be 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.
