- Design/Build Project for NOAA Integrated Water Resources Science and Services (aka National Water Center) to be constructed on the campus of the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, for the United States Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Acquisition Division, (EAD). The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code for this project is 236220 with a size standard is $33.5M. This solicitation is a Small Business Set-Aside. The approximate issue date is May 27, 2011 and approximate closing date is July 6, 2011. The Construction Cost Limitation for this project is $18,000,000.00. Offerors are under no obligation to approach this ceiling. The contract duration is 548 calendar days. The project is new construction of approximately 58,000 gross square feet building for a national hydrologic operations center, support services and administrative functions of NOAA's National Weather Service. The project site, located on the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa (UA) campus, is currently owned by UA and will be leased by NOAA. The building footprint limitations will require a two-story structure with a partial basement. There will be parking on site. The purpose of the NOAA IWRSS facility is to provide the nation with a seamless suite of consistent water resources monitoring and forecast information from summit to sea. NOAA IWRSS National Water Center intends to create a reciprocal relationship with UA and plans for the new facility to provide avenues of hydrological research to UA students and staff. The building will be used for a consortium of cutting edge water resource integrated services with complementary operational missions in water science, observation, prediction and management; and the design should facilitate and reflect those activities. Portions of the structure shall be hardened to maintain operations during local weather events. Additionally, it must meet a minimum sustainability requirement of Silver on the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification scale of the U.S. Green Building Council. This work will consist of design and construction of the new facility based on a design development level description of performance requirements.
