This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This request for information does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, NGA is not seeking proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Respondents are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party's expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this requirement. 2.0 Background N2W Requirement: The N2W facility is required to replace mission critical facilities in St. Louis that have exceeded their service life. The project will accommodate new technologies and processes that will generate beneficial synergies through integration, collaboration, and geospatial data immersion. The ‘purpose-built' facility will provide an open flexible work environment that is scalable, reconfigurable, and adaptive to changing mission requirements and the associated changes in workflow and data sharing methodologies. The project will provide NGA's workforce with safe, secure, and efficient facilities that will meet the agency's long-term requirements and vision for Geospatial-Intelligence (GEOINT) and will be consistent with the Director National Intelligence (DNI) facilities strategic plan. Given the scale of the construction project and the need for NGA to move from existing facilities minimizing dual operating costs, the N2W will require the builder to provide transition phase services from immediately after beneficial occupancy date (BOD) for up to 24 months later when the facility will be ready for full operational capability (FOC). 2.1 Delivery Period: Estimated to be five years, only during the construction phase of this project. 2.2 Considerations: 2.2.1. Official start date for this project is currently TBD 2.2.2. The site is located in an urban environment. 2.2.3. Design of the future building, floors and shape, is TBD. 2.2.4. Estimated square forage of the building is 800,000 2.2.5. The site property comprises 99 acres. 2.3 Security Requirements: 2.3.1. The completed N2W shall result in a secure facility constructed in accordance with Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 705. Some key design personnel on the design-build team shall be required to have various levels of active security clearances. 2.3.2. All Offerors and subcontractors shall be required to comply with DFARS 252.225-7050, Disclosure of ownership or control by the government of a country that is a state sponsor of terrorism, DFARS 252.209-7002, Disclosure of Ownership or Control by a Foreign Government and DFARS 252.209-7004, Subcontracting with firms that are owned or controlled by the government of a country that is a state sponsor of terrorism. 2.3.3. Construction Surveillance Technicians (CSTs) shall have a Top Secret Clearance (TS) to begin. CST's shall also have the ability to achieve TS-Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) clearance to accommodate phases of this construction project. 2.3.4. Personnel required for duties other than CST, shall be properly accredited and cleared with the proper security clearance up to TS-SCI when required according to the phased construction. The level of security clearance will depend on the progress of the building construction along with accreditation and approval of classification spaces. The proper clearance level will ensure contractors are able to enter spaces required to do their job as the progression of the building is enclosed and classified. 2.3.5. Security of the construction site, inspecting vehicles of all types entering the construction site, inspecting construction materials entering the site as well as monitoring the point of manufacture (ie: concrete plant) and personnel entering the site shall carry a high importance. 3.0 Requested Information 3.1 Performance Work Statement Feedback and Recommendations: Respondents are requested to review the attached PWS and provide recommendations on content and approach to include methods of performance, delivery, workload estimating and deliverables. 3.2 Capabilities on Required Services: Respondents are requested to submit a detailed description of their capabilities to provide all or a portion of the services outlined in the PWS. This shall include relevant experience, in house capabilities and small business subcontracting opportunities and partnerships. 3.3 Personnel Recruitment, Retention, and Timing: Respondents are requested to submit a capabilities statement that shows how trained and cleared personnel will be provided to meet all security requirements throughout the five year construction process, to include lead time for onsite personnel. This shall include the ability to staff Construction Surveillance Technicians (CSTs) as required and to staff and bring cleared, trained personnel onsite. Describe the methodology to staff TS CSTs in the St. Louis, MO area. 3.4 Additional requested information 4.0 Responses 4.1 Interested parties are requested to respond to this RFI with a white paper. 4.2 White papers in Microsoft Word or PDF format are due no later than December 20, 2016.
