This is a Sources Sought Notice, Not a Solicitation Announcement, for information on capability and availability of potential contractors interested in proposing on an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Task Order (ID/IQ) Contract for the Mobile District's construction program in support of the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 6 (NAMRU-6) in Peru. The Mobile DOC proposes to utilize a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC).
The contractor should anticipate requirements for small repair and construction projects (typically $100K - $500K) for US Government facilities at a minimum of three (3) separate locations throughout Peru which range from Lima (desert, high seismic zone) to Iquitos (Amazon basin/tropical low seismic zone).
This is a SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS and is NOT a solicitation announcement. The purpose of this Market Research and Sources Sought Notice is to gain knowledge of potential qualified contractors. Responses to this Sources Sought Synopsis will be used by the government in making appropriate acquisition decisions.
The intended repair/minor construction contract with incidental design capabilities is intended to provide quick response for performing small-scale repair and minor construction for facilities administered by the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 6 (NAMRU-6) in Peru. The primary locations will be Callao, Iquitos, and Puerto Maldonado. Individual task orders will be negotiated with the selected SATOC as firm-fixed price Requests for Proposals. Work scope will vary from site to site and will require extensive knowledge of construction methods including equipment, facility support systems, and building structures. Experience specific to the repair and construction of biomedical research laboratories is preferred. Total capacity over the potential five year life of the contract (base year plus four option years) is not to exceed $10,000,000.
This contract will require contractors to provide all plant, labor, equipment and materials necessary to perform construction, incidental demolition, upgrade and repair of facilities and structures. Work will typically include site work; landscaping; rigid and flexible paving for roads and parking lots; fuel systems; interior and exterior utilities to include water and sewage treatment, water wells, plumbing, mechanical heating ventilation and air conditioning, communications, electrical power (to include generators and solar and wind power), security and safety of facilities. Facilities and structures may include Bio-safety Levels (BSL)-2 and 3 research laboratories and laboratory support functions, Animal Bio-safety Levels (ABSL) -2 and 3 animal holding facilities for small and large species to include non-human primates and vivarium support facilities, analytical laboratories, field laboratories (dry labs), laboratories working with chemical agents, and facilities that use specialized equipment/chambers. Facility types may also include office buildings, campus utility and infrastructure systems, hazardous material storage facilities, and central utility plants. The work may involve replacement in kind, repairs, upgrades and modification work and/or new construction. It also may include incidental design and testing, and survey and abatement for lead based paint (LBP) and asbestos containing materials (ACM). Facility repairs, upgrades and construction shall conform to the requirements of the technical criteria listed in the Task Order. Task Orders may require the application of U.S. Building Codes; International Building Code (IBC); National Electric Code (NEC); Structural and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) codes; and U.S. Department of Defense criteria that include, but are not limited to, Unified Facility Criteria (UFC) and Anti-Terrorist and Force Protection (AFTP) requirements, in addition to criteria specific to biomedical laboratories.
