The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be issuing a solicitation for an Invitation for Bid (IFB) project for the construction of a 215-space parking lot located at Hanscom Air Force Base (HAFB) in Lexington, MA. The NAICS code for this procurement is 237310. This project will be a total Small-Business set-aside. The estimated construction cost is $1,000,000 to $5,000,000. Any responsible source meeting this standard may submit a bid to be considered by the New England District. The scope of the project is as follows: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory (MIT LL) is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) chartered to apply advanced technology to problems of national security. As part of their mission requirements, MIT LL is working with the Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC) and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to design and construct an Advanced Compound Semiconductor Laboratory and Microelectronics Integration Facility (CSL-MIF) building. The CSL-MIF project is a Military Construction-Air Force (MCAF) project currently programmed for construction in Fiscal Year 2022. The Advanced CSL-MIF is to be located on an existing paved parking lot and, as a result, a replacement parking is needed prior to the start of the CSL-MIF construction. The scope of work for this project involves the construction of a new parking lot northwest of the CSL-MIF building site adjacent to Hartwell Avenue. The new parking lot will replace parking that will be lost due to the construction of the CSL-MIF facility. The current site for the new parking lot consists of a relatively flat area that is partially paved and includes an area where three buildings have been recently demolished. Construction of the new parking lot will involve the demolition and removal of the existing asphalt concrete pavement and concrete sidewalks, excavation and removal of any existing unsuitable fill, and demolition and removal of existing drainage piping and structures, water lines, steam lines, communications duct banks, and buried power lines and light poles. The new parking lot will include the placement of asphalt concrete pavement and vertical granite curbing covering approximately 77,500 square feet (215 parking spaces) and will require grading and the placement of new drainage structures, drainage piping, infiltration basins, parking lot area lighting, retaining walls around the northwest portion of the lot, along with installation of new base course, binder and top coat and pavement marking and striping. The parking lot is being designed as a permanent construction in accordance with the Department of Defense (DoD) Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 1-200-01 General Building Requirements. Geotechnical information will be provided. It should be noted that some work may be required in a designated wetlands buffer zone. This project requires traditional asphalt concrete pavement construction expertise and the work is located on an active military base. Impacts to on-going traffic and base operations must be kept to a minimum and carefully coordinated with the Contracting Officer and HAFB staff.
