- Description
- This is a Sources Sought Synopsis only.NASA/JSC is hereby soliciting capabilities information from certified 8(a), HUBZone, andService Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns within a five stateregion consisting of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas for theconstruction project Revitalize Building 12 at JSC. The purpose of this request is to determine the appropriate level of competition inaccordance with FAR 19.10 Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program.Information received will be used to make a determination regarding the use of full andopen competition or to set aside the procurement as an 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSBset-aside. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor these sites for therelease of any solicitation or synopsis. It is anticipated the NASA/JSC will issue a solicitation for a General Constructioncontract for the renovation of Building 12. The NAICS code for the project is 236220 witha small business size standard of $33.5 million. This NAICS code ties directly with FAR19 of the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program, under the title ofCommercial and Institutional Building Construction. The magnitude of the project is morethan $10,000,000 as set forth in FAR 36.204 Disclosure of the Magnitude of ConstructionProjects. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If asolicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA AcquisitionInternet Service. This project will provide for a total refurbishment of Building 12, AdministrativeSupport Building. Building 12 is a two story office/training facility that containsapproximately 62,254 square feet of office and training space and houses approximately220 personnel. The new flexible floor plan arrangement will realign the buildingsfunctions to improve work flow, and provide for an open, collaborative work environment.The project will improve environmental conditions by removal of asbestos sprayed on theunderside of the decking, contained in floor tile, pipe insulation, and sheet rock.Indoor air quality will be improved by replacement of heating, ventilation, and airconditioning systems with energy efficient under floor air systems. The building will bebrought up to American Disabilities Acts standards. Obsolete fire detection systems andcontrol panels will be replaced, and a sprinkler system will be installed. All electricalswitchgear, transformers, motor control centers and lighting will be upgraded withstate-of-the-art fire detection systems equipment. Building architectural deficiencies,including the open stairwell (fire issue) will be corrected. The structural slab andPrecast Exposed Aggregate Facing exterior cladding will remain in-place. In all, the facility refurbishment will renovate the entire facility by gutting theentire interior of most walls, all ceilings, floor finishes, mechanical systems, fireprotection systems, security systems, electrical systems and plumbing systems.Exteriorrepairs will include replacement of the roof and window wall system. The demolition willinvolve some asbestos removal as well as removal and working with lead contaminated painton existing areas of the facility.

The refurbishment will be required to meet Leadership inEnergy and Environmental Design (LEED) accreditation for refurbishment work asestablished by the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED features will include the use ofwater efficient landscaping, use of low flow water fixtures, enhanced commissioning ofthe facility systems, implementation of a Measurement and Verification Plan to documentenergy performance, construction waste management, use of regional and rapidly renewablematerials and certified wood, implementation of a construction indoor air qualitymanagement plan, and installation of controllable lights and thermal comfort systems.Certified 8(a), HUBZone and SDVOSB General Construction Companies capable of performingas prime contractors that meet the requirements of this synopsis are asked to submitcapability statements in no more than seven (7) pages.
