NAICS Code: 236220 Commercial and Institutional Building Construction Small Business Size Standard: $39.5 Million Product and Service Code (PSC): Y1GZ Construction of Other warehouse buildings GENERAL INFORMATION: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Contracting and General Services (CGS) Region 12 has been tasked to solicit for and procure a firm-fixed-price to provide Design/Build services for the Equipment Storage Building Project at Kealia pond National Wildlife Refuge, near Kihei, Hawaii (County of Maui). The project magnitude is estimated to be between $250,000.00 and $500,000.00. The Period of Performance is estimated to be 360 calendar days. STATEMENT OF WORK: The Statement of Work for this project reads as follows: 1. GENERAL: The US Fish and Wildlife Service, Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge, has a request for Design/Build services for the Equipment Storage Building Project. 2. BACKGROUND: The Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge has a need to construct a new equipment storage building. The equipment storage building will replace inadequate maintenance facilities which consist of three storage containers, one storage building, and a greenhouse. Valuable equipment is fully exposed to the tropical maritime environment, leading to rapid deterioration and most minor maintenance activities have to be performed outdoors. The containers are dangerous, as personnel could be accidentally trapped inside the hot, unventilated spaces. A new maintenance shop will help maintain equipment and stored materials in good condition and extend their service life. 3. SCOPE: Provide Design/Build services for a new 1,800 SF equipment storage building at the Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge. Different building types and construction approaches shall be considered. More specifically provide all labor, equipment and materials necessary to: a) Plan and design a new 1,800 SF equipment storage building. This will include all design work for the complete site clearing, grading and preparation of the site for the new structure along with the complete construction of the new facility. The design shall follow the performance specifications and conceptual drawings included as part of this solicitation and any amendments issued before time of award. More specifically the facility shall: 1) Have a minimum of 3 bays, two for equipment storage and one as a shop area for minor maintenance and work on small equipment. 2) Be durable and able to withstand the harsh marine environment. 3) Lay lightly on the land and its exterior siding and roof colors should match the colors of the Visitor Center nearby. 4) Be graded to ensure that there will be no standing water near or around the building. Rain water shall drain away from the building. 5) Electrical Service with exterior bird friendly lighting and interior LED tube lighting. Currently there is electricity at the site but the contractor shall be responsible for determining if the system is adequate or needs to be upgraded for the new building. 6) Water Service. Tie-in to the local municipal water system is nearby, close to the Visitor Center. The contractor shall be responsible for any coordination, permitting and fees associated with the complete hookup to all onsite utilities. 7) Tie in to the existing security system. 8) Take advantage of natural lighting with translucent roof and wall panels. 9) Have adequate passive ventilation. 10) Have an interior concrete floor slab capable of being hosed off and sloped to drain for cleaning. The equipment storage bays shall be designed to store a 36 ton rubber tired excavator. 11) Fencing requirements to meet similar specifications of the existing fencing. 12) Have the capability for expansion in the future. 13) See conceptual drawings for additional detailed requirements for the facility. b) Perform the construction of the new equipment storage building for a complete functioning structure as per the approved final drawings and specifications. The contractor shall be responsible for all required quality control on the project. All demolition debris, unsuitable excavation materials, and construction debris shall be hauled offsite for proper disposal. 4. PLACE/DELIVERY AND PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: All planning and design work shall be completed where required by the prime contractor and their approved subcontractors. All construction related work is located in or around the Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge, near Kehei, Hawaii. Design work on the project can begin after Notice to Proceed is given.
