NAICS Code: 236220 – Commercial and Institutional Building 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), Louisville District, has a requirement for the design and construction of an Equipment Concentration Site (ECS) complex of facilities on Fort Carson. The scope of work consists of furnishing all necessary equipment, materials, labor, supervision, quality control, and supplies to deliver a fully functional Area Maintenance Support Activity (AMSA) shop, General Purpose Warehouse (GPW), and Organizational Storage Building. Key features of the project may include: Vehicle maintenance shop required features including but not limited to concrete shop aprons, vehicle wash rack/platform, bi-level equipment loading ramps. Specialized Systems: special building foundations, extensive pavements, improved surfaces, and the related site clearing, and excavation costs associated with developing the 48-acre parcel of land. Administrative & Support: Adjoining maintenance shops, tool rooms, administrative offices, and personnel support spaces. Military Equipment Parking lot & Site Work: Construction of paving areas for heavy equipment, POVs, security fencing, and utility tie-ins. Estimated Acquisition Magnitude: $75,000,000.00 Planned Acquisition Strategy: Progressive Design-Build (PDB) via Other Transaction Authority (OTA) The Louisville 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 protptype 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 Progressive Design-Build (PDB). Phase 1 (Design & Pre-Construction): The Government and the OT Awardee will work collaboratively to advance the design, perform constructability reviews, conduct open-book cost estimating, and mitigate project risks. Phase 2 (Construction): Upon reaching an agreed-upon level of design (e.g., 60% to 90%), the Awardee will propose a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). If the GMP is accepted, the Government will exercise Phase 2 for construction execution. If a GMP cannot be agreed upon, the Government retains an "off-ramp" to complete the design and construct the facility via alternative methods. INFORMATION REQUESTED 1.
