This Sources Sought Notice is for informational purposes only to determine the interest, and availability, of potential qualified contractors. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any cost incurred in preparation of a response to this notice. The Government intends to use responses to this sources sought to make appropriate acquisition decisions for the project. NO AWARD will be made from this sources sought notice. All interested firms should respond to this notice. Project Description: This project is to award a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) to complete the construction of the Aviation Complex. It is anticipated the award of these follow-on phases upon the completion of the Aircraft Apron and Airfield Improvements project. The anticipated scope of work for the task orders issued under this SATOC includes the construction of an aviation hangar, aviation shops and paint shop spaces, secure spaces, and unit operations building type facilities. The seed contract of the SATOC includes the construction of a multi-story secure operations building with an approximate area of 127,000 square feet. It will house operational and administrative spaces for the complex, including a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), data center, private and open offices, command suite, conference facilities, and personnel support spaces. Also, the building will include a warehouse, armory, indoor firing range, gymnasium, indoor aquatic training facility, medical aid station, and multi-purpose team room with a commercial kitchen. The operations building will serve as the telecommunications and electronic site security hub for the entire complex. All critical electrical and communication systems must be able to connect and communicate seamlessly with other construction phases of the Aviation Complex. Power requirements include standard power, generator power and an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) requirement of approximately 500KVA. Due to the SCIF requirement, the project site must be fully secured twenty-four (24) hours a day during construction and have secure material storage in accordance with Intelligence Community Directive Number 705. Construction duration is expected to be 22 months. The follow-on task order of the SATOC includes the construction of a secure aircraft hangar with multi-story shops and support spaces with an approximate area of 204,000 square feet. The hangar includes fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft bays with bridge cranes. It will be a long span steel structure with a deep foundation and high expansion foam fire protection system. The ground floor shops and spaces will have direct access to the hangar and include Aircraft Life Saving Equipment (ALSE), paint, sheet metal and commo shops, and operations, and other related spaces. The aircraft paint shop consists of a paint booth, equipment and paint storage, and provides space for paint stripping, corrosion removal, protective coating, chemical agent resistant coating, and painting of aircraft components. Second floor spaces provide operational and administrative spaces including a SCIF, data center, training areas, troop areas and support spaces. This task order will also include final apron paving, access road paving, and pavement markings. All critical electrical and communication systems of the aircraft hangar must be able to connect and communicate seamlessly with other construction phases of the Aviation Complex. Power requirements include standard power, generator power and a significant Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) requirement. Similar to the seed contract, due to the SCIF requirement, the project site must be fully secured twenty-four (24) hours a day during construction and have secure material storage in accordance with Intelligence Community Directive Number 705. Construction duration is also expected to be 24 months. The operations building and aircraft hangar are scheduled to be funded for construction in FY 19 and FY 20, respectively. There is anticipated to be an overlap of about 16 months when the two projects will be under construction at the same time.
