Description

Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Contract for Design/Construction of military facilities at Palmachim and Chazor, both located approximately 30 km south of Tel Aviv, Israel. The proposed facilities construction will be administered under Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and United States procurement laws and regulations. Contract will be awarded and paid in U.S. dollars. This procurement is restricted to United States firms only. Contractors may bring into Israel, nationals of the United States and third countries having diplomatic relations with Israel for the purpose of accomplishing the work. This procurement is subject to the requirements of FMS and the U.S. Balance of Payments Program set out in FAR Subpart 25.3. In addition to the FAR Balance of Payments limitations, use of Israeli content is limited to the cost of bulk materials such as sand, gravel or other soil material, stone, cement, or concrete masonry units. At least 51% of the contract value, exclusive of bulk materials and Israeli design certification services, must represent U.S. content. Principal features of the three (3) facilities are as follows:  Logistics Center at Palmachim includes a 2,100 m2 facility with mezzanine consisting of an automated warehouse and office space. The structure will have a concrete and steel frame, pitched metal and flat roofing, and concrete and metal panel exterior walls. Special features include automated storage and retrieval equipment, automatic guided vehicles, storage shelving, conveyors, exterior and interior roll up doors, loading dock, dock levelers, forklift rated floors, an overhead crane, equipment platforms, a pneumatic tube system, and a 460 cubic meter water tank.  Flight Simulator Training Facility at Palmachim includes a two story 1,600 m2 facility consisting of a helicopter simulator training classroom, office, and computer laboratory space. The structure will have a concrete frame, masonry walls, flat roofing, and plastered masonry exterior walls. Special features include storage shelving, raised floors, an overhead crane, exterior and interior roll up doors, projection equipment, projection screens, and an electric elevator.  Flight Simulator Training Facility at Chazor includes a one story 1,350 m2 facility consisting of an airplane simulator training classroom, office, and computer laboratory space. The structure will have a concrete frame, masonry walls, flat roofing, and plastered masonry exterior walls. Special features include storage shelving, raised floors, an overhead crane, exterior roll up doors, projection equipment, and projection screens. All three (3) facilities will have an automatic fire sprinkler system and an HVAC system. Flight simulator equipment will be supplied and installed by another U.S. contractor under a separate FMS contract; the construction contractor under this announcement will be required to coordinate design and construction activities with the contractor supplying and installing the flight simulator equipment to ensure a smooth interface. The contractor will be responsible for follow-on detailed design (which must be Israeli certified) for each of the three facilities. Responses are desired from firms who can demonstrate recent experience and excellent past performance in design/construction of similar facilities. If a single offeror does not have in-house design and construction capabilities, US-only joint ventures will be acceptable. The qualifications of both the design and construction firm will be evaluated. The offeror will also have to demonstrate scheduling capability, proposed schedule for this procurement, and submit a management plan. Solicitation will be issued on or about 23 February 2001. Proposals will be received on or about 25 April 2001. Estimated cost of proposed procurement is in the range of $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. Estimated completion time: Staggered completion times with the final facility to be complete in 547 calendar days. SIC code 1542. Plans and specifications will be issued on CD-ROM only and limited to one (1) set per offeror. A site visit has been scheduled for March 2001, beginning at Palmachim. Specific dates and other information regarding the site visit/pre-proposal conference will be contained in the solicitation documents.
