Due date pushed to 15 Feb. Addendum: It is expected that after final quotes are received that discussions will be opened with the low quote, and minor changes might be made to facilitate scheduling logistics. Award is expected to be made concurrent or after related Contracts in order to solidify timeframes. A delay in award should be expected. *Specification documents are not posted. All vendors shall contact SMSgt Christopher Fisher for a copy of the floorplan and specifications. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement is being issued as a request for quotation (RFQ) and constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2005-100. This combined synopsis/solicitation is being issued as a cascading small business set-aside. If no acceptable Small Business quotes are received, then other than Small Business responses will be considered. North American Industrial Classification Standard 238330 applies to this solicitation; business size standard is $15m. The Minnesota Air National Guard has a requirement for raised flooring in a new flight simulator facility to support equipment cable routing below the raised floor. See specification document. *Please read this solicitation carefully* Situation: Currently the 148FW is remodeling a site via an existing Construction Contractor (CC) which will eventually house specialized flight simulator equipment. Each step in the process is time sensitive. The area will be ready for flooring installation between February and June (exact timing to be determined), at which time the awardee of this solicitation (Flooring Contractor, FC) will be ready to install raised flooring in the area. The FC shall initially install the raised floor throughout the facility per the design spec, except in the vicinity of the exterior entry door where there shall be an uninterrupted level surface across the entire width of the exterior entry door. This area requires a temporary infill of the area that will ultimately be the fire-egress ramp, and this portion of the project will be referred to as "the temporary ramp infill." This temporary ramp infill requirement is necessary to create a wide "loading-dock" style area sufficient to allow a 3rd party Equipment Contractor (EC) to utilize the entire width of the exterior door to unload and stage equipment. The exact configuration of the temporary ramp infill in this area shall be such that the temporary floor surface matches the finished elevation of the rest of the raised floor, allows for the unimpeded use of pallet-jacks across any transitions, be of equal or greater load bearing capacity to the rest of the raised floor, be constructed so as to allow for removal after the 3rd party EC is finished, and be of a design and material to be proposed by the FC. The installation of the raised floor throughout the facility, and the temporary ramp infill near the exterior door, shall be referred to as "Phase 1" of the project. After Phase 1 of the project is complete, the FC will be allowed to depart the site. Phase 2 is the period of time during which the 3rd party EC will be installing flight simulator equipment throughout the facility; Phase 2 is not a part of this solicitation, and the FC is not expected to be present during Phase 2 of the project. Upon completion of Phase 2, the FC will be recalled to the project site to begin Phase 3. Phase 3 requires that the FC remove the temporary ramp infill, and proceed with any remaining steps to finish the fire-egress ramp portion of the floor, as well as install any required railings at the perimeter of the ramp. Once the temporary ramp infill has been removed, and all portions of the raised floor and egress ramp are determined to be complete (per design spec,) then Phase 3 will be complete (completing the contract resulting from this solicitation). Note that the FC will be responsible for removing any and all waste, to include the temporary ramp infill, from the project site prior to final completion. Schedule of events: 1. Existing CC nears completion of area requiring flooring. 2. Government will contact FC with notice to proceed on Phase I and will provide dates which the area will become available. 3. CC finishes area. Government takes ownership. 4. Phase 1 work begins, FC immediately installs raised flooring and temporary ramp infill. 5. FC notifies government that Phase 1 is complete. 6. Phase 2 begins; EC will import and set up the simulator equipment inside the area. 7. Upon EC completion, Government will give FC a notice to proceed on Phase 3. 8. Phase 3 begins; FC will remove the temporary ramp infill, install/finish the fire-egress ramp and associated railings to complete this contract. Specifications: Any deviation from the listed specifications must be approved by the Contracting Officer for quote to remain eligible for consideration. If a specification is too restrictive, please make the Contracting Officer aware as soon as possible. The specifications are not absolute, but the weight tolerances need to be sufficient to support the equipment which will be installed in the room. This is a major technical consideration. Any quote which the government receives will be considered to have the specifications releasable to the simulator equipment installation vendor. This flooring requirement is being procured as flooring equipment with installation. Please contact Contracting Officer if you would like to schedule a site visit, although site visits might not be practical as the site is not constructed as of yet. Be sure to submit/attach enough additional information to enable the Government to fully ascertain the specifications/capabilities of any products quoted.

Evaluation: The Government plans to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the offer conforming to the solicitation which will be most advantageous to the Government.
