- NOTE: Inquiries should be directed to Rhonda Dukes, Sandia Contracting Representative, Sandia National Laboratories: Phone: (505) 844-1939, Facsimile: (505) 284-3056, e-mail: mesa@sandia.gov. GENERAL INFORMATION: Subject to the availability of funds, Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) in Albuquerque, New Mexico (located on Kirtland Air Force Base with restricted gate access) intends to contract for the construction of the third element of the Microsystems and Engineering Sciences Applications (MESA) complex, including construction, installation of equipment, system integration, documentation and commissioning. The construction estimate for this element of the MESA Project is approximately $39M. The purpose of this announcement is to invite interested firms to attend a pre-proposal meeting to be held on Wednesday, March 17, 2004, in the afternoon (1:00PM to 3:30PM) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This will be the only pre-proposal conference held. This element of the MESA complex, the Weapons Integration Facility (WIF), consists of the following: 1) a new, ~160,000 gsf facility construction, 2) associated site improvements and 3) ~2900 gsf addition to a central utility building (CUB-2). Offeror must have a proven record of successfully completing projects of comparable size, complexity and function. Offeror must also have demonstrated knowledge and construction experience in the Technical Capabilities listed below. WIF PROJECT TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES: The Weapons Integration Facility (WIF) is a high-security facility providing classified and unclassified workspaces for 374 personnel. It is comprised of two building elements totaling approximately 160,000 gross square feet (gsf). Antiterrorism construction standard features are incorporated into the facility design and the site improvements, which consist of support structure enhancements, blast resistant glazing, establishment of perimeter vehicle/pedestrian barriers at an appropriate stand-off distance, automated access controls for vehicles and pedestrians, security fencing, and parking. The WIF will be constructed adjacent to existing operational facilities located in the southeast corner of SNL?s Technical Area I. The classified WIF (WIF-C), consists of a three story building with a partial basement and mechanical support equipment penthouses. The structure is concrete waffle slab construction that is designed to a vibration criterion of 1,000 micro-inches/sec and includes structural anti-collapse features. The WIF-C will contain laser labs, electrical labs, advanced visualization technical design development areas, and office workspace for research and support staff. The labs and workspaces are divided into "Need-To-Know" suites and are designed to meet Top Secret Restricted Data (TSRD) requirements for acoustic isolation. A sophisticated design visualization facility, known as the ?VIEWS (Virtual Interactive Environment for Weapons Simulation) Corridor,? is included, as well as a computer server room that will contain the advanced visualization servers. Additional server rooms are located throughout the facility to house other scientific IT systems. The WIF advanced visualization and computational systems will be supported by a centralized high-speed copper and optical data communication system that is constructed to industry standards for reliability, long-term usability and special telecommunications requirements (BISCI). Other facility features are the intrusion detection and automated access control security systems, passive and active acoustic security features, laser safety interlock systems, closed-circuit TV systems to monitor critical locations, and secure encrypting telephones. The mechanical systems to be commissioned include a lab exhaust system, smoke evacuation exhaust system, an acid waste drain system, compressed air piping, a heat recovery system, process chilled water system and an HVAC system with digital controls and commissioning. The unclassified WIF (WIF-U) is a two-story structure that includes many construction features listed above, with a mechanical support equipment penthouse. The WIF-U will contain a visualization laboratory, computer lab, computer server rooms, electrical lab, conference areas, and office workspaces. A central utilities building, CUB-2, will be expanded by approximately 2,900 gsf, and will include the addition of two chillers with cooling towers and two boilers. WIF is designed to and will be constructed to Sustainable Design criteria. Application will be made for certification of the WIF as a ?Green Building? utilizing the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. The construction prime contractor shall have Primavera scheduling capability, which shall be used to produce construction planning and progress reports. All construction contractor employees shall be 10-hour OSHA certified and implement a comprehensive site-specific safety program. The proposed schedule for selection of the contractor is as follows: Advertise in Federal Business Opportunities January 27, 2004 Pre-Proposal Conference March 17, 2004 Drawings/Specs. Available for Purchase March 17, 2004 Proposals/Bids Due April 28, 2004 Anticipated Contract Award July 23, 2004 In order to attend the pre-proposal conference, companies must e-mail names of individuals (up to 2 per company), to mesa@sandia.gov. SNL will provide the exact location of the event and detailed directions five business days prior to the event. No cameras or recording devices will be allowed at the pre-proposal conference. Inquiries should be directed to Rhonda Dukes, Sandia Contracting Representative, Sandia National Laboratories; Phone: (505) 844-1939, Facsimile: (505) 284-3056, e-mail: mesa@sandia.gov.
