- Description
- This project is restricted in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c )(4) International Agreement to Danish and Greenlandic firms only. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District intends to issue a solicitation package seeking to award a firm-fixed-price contract for the construction of a new 3,012 SM, 3-story dormitory facility. This will be a competitive, Invitation for Bids (IFB), bid opening. The facility will be built with arctic foundations in the permafrost; it will be steel frame, insulated panel exterior, and pitched metal roof. The work includes site improvements, and all utilities and communications. The contractor will furnish all supervision, plant, labor, materials, tools, and equipment to construct the facility. General Conditions at Thule Air Base: The location of Thule Air Base limits exterior work to the months of June through September, although work is sometimes possible in May or October. Additionally, Thule's location demands that all supplies/personnel must be shipped/transported in/out via air/sealift. Thule Air Base is not a commercial air/sea port and there is no other access. Shipping schedules are dictated by Defense contracts, and materials and labor are not available locally. The region is glaciated and the existing soil is generally permafrost, which exists from 1 to 6 feet below the surface and to a measured depth of 1,600 feet. Average winter temperature is 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit below zero while average summer temperature is 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit above zero. One annual military cargo sealift departs from Norfolk, Virginia to Thule AB approximately 1 July. There are two sealifts that go from Copenhagen, Denmark to Thule AB: one in July and one in August. Airlifting any materials or equipment via military aircraft is very expensive and only on an emergency-need basis. The project magnitude is US$15 - $25 Million. The performance period shall be approximately 2 years from issuance of the Notice to Proceed (NTP). Anticipate the plans and specifications to be posted electronically on or about 5 November 2012 via the Federal Business Opportunities website at www.fbo.gov, with bids due on or about 9 January 2013. Any and all amendments shall be likewise posted. Hard copies will not be available. It is the contractor's responsibility to monitor the FedBizOpps website for any amendments. Award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder. A Dual Bid Opening will be held simultaneously at the New York District and in Copenhagen, Denmark on or about 9 January 2013. More information as to the exact date, time, and location will be included in the solicitation, as well as instructions pertaining to the Dual Bid Opening. All questions must be submitted in writing via email, fax, or mail to the POC. The media selected for issuance of Synopsis/Solicitation and amendments shall solely be at the discretion of the Government; accordingly, the media utilized for this project shall be the internet. Telephone, email, or fax requests for the solicitation will not be accepted or honored. Paper copies of this solicitation and amendments, if any, will not be available or issued. Plans and specifications will NOT be provided in hard paper copy or CD-ROM format. The solicitation and all amendments for this acquisition will be posted on a secure Government website known as FedBizOpps (www.fbo.gov) once the solicitation is issued. Interested parties may download and print the solicitation at no charge from the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website, https://www.fbo.gov.
