CONTRACT INFORMATION: Architect-Engineer services, procured in accordance with PL 92-582 (Brooks A-E Act) and FAR Part 36, are required for the design of FY05 MCA Drum Road Upgrade, Helemano to Kahuku, Island of Oahu, Hawaii. This announcement is open t o all businesses regardless of size. A firm-fixed price contract will be negotiated. Award of the contract is anticipated to be in October 2004. The selected firm, if large business, must comply with FAR 52-219-9 regarding the requirement for a subcontract ing plan on that part of the work it intends to subcontract. The subcontracting goals for this contract are that a minimum of 58% of the contractor's intended subcontract amount be placed with small business (SB), which includes small disadvantaged busines ses (SDB), WOSB, HUBZone SB, Veteran-Owned SB, and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned SB. The subcontracting plan is not required with this submittal, but the successful large business firm must submit an acceptable plan before any award can be made. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The project is to design improvements for an existing dirt, coral, and gravel road by realigning, widening, and repaving approximately 37.8 kilometers of roadway from the end of the paved road at Helemano Military Reservation to the end of the existing paved road at Kahuku Training Area (KTA) for the purpose of providing the Army with uninterrupted vehicular access to the Kawailoa Training Area and KTA. The existing Drum Road is approximately 3 to 6 meters in width with no shoulders and runs through a series of mountains, gulches, and unimproved streambeds. The roadway lacks proper drainage and safety measures. Existing bridges, culverts, drainage pipes, and ford crossings allow surface runoff to cross the roadway. The roadway contain s blind curves and/or limited sight distances, steep slopes, tight turning radii, lack of safety rails at drop offs, and narrow widths at various locations. Project is to upgrade the existing road to an all weathered asphalt concrete pavement with two lane s, compacted gravel shoulders, drainage corrections, erosion controls, and safety measures. Project estimated construction cost is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. Environmental assessment and natural resources surveys are being conducted under separa te contracts. 3.
