NAICS Code: 237110 – Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction (Note: While Other Transaction Authority is not subject to FAR-based small business regulations, this NAICS code is provided for market research to help the Government understand the size and demographics of the interested industrial base.) Small Business Size Standard: $45 Million PROJECT OVERVIEW The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Alaska District, has a requirement for Preconstruction Services and construction for the Utilities and Infrastructure Fighter Town Recapitalization at Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson (JBER), Alaska. This project executes Phase I of a multi-phase recapitalization program to prepare a 500+ acre site and establish the critical civil, utility, and airfield infrastructure. Due to complex topography and concurrent MILCON construction schedules, the work must be highly sequenced to ensure uninterrupted operational capabilities and facilitate staggered facility occupancy dates. Key deliverables may include: Mass Civil Earthworks: Excavation of approximately 10 million cubic yards of material to grade the 500+ acre site. Comprehensive Campus Utilities: Installation of a new 20 MVA electrical substation and utility networks (water, sewer, electrical, communications) for 25+ future MILCON buildings. Airfield & Logistics Infrastructure: Construction of heavy-duty airfield pavements, a dedicated airfield lighting vault, and a new POL tank farm with a truck fill stand. Phased Project Execution: Structured sequencing of utility upgrades and site preparation to allow concurrent facility construction. Estimated Acquisition Magnitude: $400,000,000 to $600,000,000 Planned Acquisition Strategy: Construction Manager at Risk via Other Transaction Authority (OTA) The Alaska District is conducting market intelligence to assess industry capability and interest in supporting this effort utilizing an Other Transaction (OT) Agreement under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 2808a, Facility Construction or Repair: Transactions Other Than Contracts and Grants. This authority is distinct from the Department of Defense prototype OT authorities commonly associated with 10 U.S.C. § 4021 and 4022. This authority is intended for military construction projects that involve testing and experimentation associated with new and emergent construction technologies to achieve potential benefits such as enhanced mission resilience, improved installation support, or cost and schedule reduction. The anticipated delivery method is Construction Manager at Risk (CM@R). Phase 1: Pre-Construction Services - The OT Awardee shall assist the Government collaboratively in achieving its goals with respect to the project’s scope, constructability, budget, quality, schedule, and in coordination with the Designer of Record (DOR). Phase 2: Construction - Upon reaching an agreed-upon level of design (e.g., 65% to 95%), the Awardee will propose a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). If the GMP is accepted, the Government will exercise construction execution. If a GMP cannot be agreed upon, the Government retains an "off-ramp" to complete the construct the facility via alternative methods. INFORMATION REQUESTED 1.
