ADVANCE NOTICE FOR Renovation of Building 99 at Pituffik Space Base, Greenland. The New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) intends to issue a solicitation package seeking to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract to for the Renovation of Building 99 at Pituffik Space Base, Greenland. This will be a competitive, 2-Step Best Value Trade-Off Solicitation. General Conditions at Pituffik Space Base: The location of Thule Air Base limits exterior work to the months of June through September, although work is sometimes possible in May and/or October. Additionally, Thule's location demands that all supplies/personnel must be shipped /transported in/out via air/sealift. Pituffik Space Base is not a commercial air/seaport and there is no other access. Shipping schedules are dictated by Defense contracts, and materials and labor are not available locally. The region is glaciated, and the existing soil is generally permafrost, which exists from 1 to 6 feet below the surface to a measured depth of 1,600 feet. Winter temperatures average between 20 -30 degrees F below zero while average summer temperatures are between 40-50 degrees F above zero. One annual military cargo sealift departs from Norfolk, Virginia to Thule AB, on or about 1 July. There are two sealifts that leave from Copenhagen, Denmark to Thule AB, one in July & one in August. Airlifting any materials or equipment via military aircraft is very expensive and only normally allowed on an emergency-need basis. SUMMARY OF WORK Prepare design/build construction documents and provide construction Facility recapitalization of existing three-story dormitory at Pituffik Space Base.
