This is a Sources Sought and is for informational/market research purposes only. This is not a Request for Proposal, Quotation, or Invitation for Bid, nor a synopsis of a proposed contract action under FAR subpart 5.2. The purpose of this Sources Sought is to gain knowledge of the interest, capabilities, capacity, and qualifications of industry so the government can make informed business decisions. We are seeking responses from both large and small businesses, including Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, 8(a) firms, Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) firms, Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns, Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) firms, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns and Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) entities.

The related size standard is: $45M. Project Background. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Portland District (NWP) intends to issue a two-phase design-build solicitation. Phase 1 will include the scope of work and phase 1 evaluation factors. The most highly qualified offerors selected from phase 1 (we anticipate selecting up to 4 offerors during phase 1 but this is subject to change) will receive the phase 2 solicitation and evaluation factors. NWP contemplates awarding one firm-fixed-price design-build construction contract to the responsible phase 2 offeror whose proposal represents the best value. Project Location. The construction work will be performed at John Day Dam. Contractor access to the work site is on the Oregon side from exit 109 on I-84 and John Day Dam Road. Project Purpose. Improve site access and security at the John Day Dam. Project Scope. Work includes but is not limited to the complete design and reconfiguration of portions of the road going to John Day Dam from I-84 to accommodate larger and heavier equipment and increase the security boundary on the Oregon entrance side of the John Day Dam. Design and build an Auxiliary Monitoring Station (AMS) and check point station with canopy outside of the current security boundary. The phase 2 successful offeror will provide design analysis, plans, and specifications, execute construction, and provide a turnkey AMS structure. Earthwork is anticipated to begin while the design is in progress and before the AMS design is complete. Road and parking construction may be allowed to start before AMS design completion. Project Objectives. Design the work. Provide final plans and specifications. Construct the work. Commission the work. Meet project schedule requirements. Anticipated Construction Schedule. NWP intends to solicit phase 1 in approximately June of 2025 and award before February 2026 with required construction completion currently anticipated in March of 2028. Magnitude of Construction. The current magnitude of construction is between $5M and $10M. Anticipated Source Selection Process. 2-phase design-build pursuant to FAR 15 and FAR 36.3. Project Specific Constraints and Challenges.
