- Description
- This Sources Sought Notice is being issued for informational purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the USDA, ARS. ARS is conducting a Market Survey to identify the availability and interest of qualified Small, Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HubZone), Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB), and certified 8(a) firms as potential sources for Design-Build for the Modernization of the BARC Building 307, located at Beltsville, Maryland. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this project is 236220 (Construction) with a Size Standard of $36.5 million. Background : BARC Building 307 was constructed in 1940 and has never been renovated. Many of BARC's animal science, human nutrition, and honey bee researchers are currently dispersed and housed in small, inefficient buildings that do not serve their research needs. BARC Building 307 is a large building that is now vacant, but can accommodate the consolidation and housing of priority animal science, human nutrition and honey bee research. This will result in long term operational savings to the research program by reducing the physical and energy footprint. Requirement: The project scope includes a complete gut and rebuild of Building 307 (67,000 SF), including the replacement of all architectural elements (roof, windows, finishes), mechanical, electrical, plumbing and laboratory systems, upgrade site utilities, upgrade structural systems and removal of HAZMAT. The proposed construction at BARC Building 307 will be performed on an active research campus. The Estimated Cost of Construction for the Modernization of BARC Building 307 is more than $20 million. Prospective Design Build Contractors are required to provide an Operations and Maintenance Plan. The Bridging Documents (BD) will consist of a complete 35% design submission. The Design Build Contractor (DBC) will use the BDs as the basis to complete a set of construction documents. As stated above, the purpose of this Sources Sought notice is to identify prospective Small, SDB, SDVOSB, HubZone, WOSB and Certified 8(a) firms to provide Design Build services associated with the Modernization of BARC Building 307. The current goal for ARS is to complete the BDs before the end of May 2017, and to award the construction contract in the November 2017 timeframe. THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY.
