The Government must ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of responsible contractors. Small business, Section 8(a), HUBZone and SDVOSB businesses are highly encouraged to participate. The North American Industry Classification System code for this procurement is 236220 which has a small business size standard of $36.5million. The Standard Industrial Code is 1542 and The Federal Supply Code is Z2DA. Small Businesses are reminded under FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting that they must perform at least 15% of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with their own employees for general construction-type procurement. Should the acquisition be set-aside for the 8(a) program, 8(a) firms are reminded they need to have a bona fide office in the geographical area of consideration where the work is to be performed as determined by SBA. The Government is seeking qualified, experienced and reliable sources capable of delivering design, construction, initial outfitting and transition services utilizing an integrated project deliver method known as Integrated Design Build Initial Outfitting (iDBIO). Qualified source will be required to execute this method for Building 501, the Raymond Randall Building. Building 501 is a 21,075 square feet, single-story structure over a partial basement, constructed in 1954 as a pilot vaccine production facility in support of research to protect and sustain the warfighter and global medical solutions. Building 501's infrastructure is beyond its serviceable life and not in accordance with current building code or design practice. Efficient operation is hindered by the antiquated systems and layout of the facility. Insufficient power and data systems are found through-out the facility. Building 501 does not have sufficient space for proper operation of specialized equipment which was added after the original construction of the facility. The intent of this Project is to renovate, re-purpose, and add additional floor space to Building 501 to change mission from pilot vaccine production to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) vaccine production. iDBIO is when a single contractor provides all design, construction, outfitting services/commodities, and transition support to operate a new/newly renovated facility. [Note: Initial Outfitting (IO) includes providing furniture, furnishings, casework, communications, medical equipment, resource protection systems, artwork and transition/move services]. Integrated project delivery methods subscribe to full engagement of project management, designers, subcontractors, technical disciplines, trade and IO partners, and vendors for the full life- cycle of the project. The contractor is required to provide associated initial outfitting (IO) services and commodities to outfit new or newly-renovated medical research laboratory facilities, services include: project management, transition/relocation planning, providing temporary transition space as required, planning/design and technical support, product selection/planning, inventory identification, storage, movers, supervision, budget and procurement of the commodities to include case goods, furniture and furnishings, medical equipment, artwork, signage, information technology/communication and resource protection systems as well as installation labor, transportation, tools, materials, storage and freight of all the commodities. The effort will also include the move, reconfiguration, teardown, salvage, and/or disposal of existing products and inventory storage and installation of reusable systems furniture. Additional services include move planning and transitioning medical staff warehousing capabilities, delivery, installation, inventory, warranty services, commissioning and training on all new equipment/furniture/systems. The contractor shall have experience in utilizing performance-based requirements, where the customer identifies the objectives (desired result) and the constraints (code/criteria/standards) and the contractor is responsible for determining the means and methods to achieving the desired result. A capable and qualified contractor must have experience in performing the Integrated, Design Build, and Initial Outfitting (IDBIO) during the course of normal operating hours of medical research. In accordance with FAR 36/DFARs 236, the estimated construction price range for this project is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. Estimated duration of the project is 1100 calendar days.
