This unrestricted procurement involves building a 46,000-square-foot, three-story facility to house 300 personnel in open bay sleeping rooms. The project follows the Army Standard for Operational Readiness Training Complexes (ORTC) and includes interior design and furnishings. The scope covers storage, team rooms, laundry facilities, and specialized systems for access control, intrusion detection, and mass notification. The contractor is also responsible for site modifications, utility connections, storm drainage, and the demolition of two existing barracks buildings. The government intends to award a single firm-fixed-price contract with a 950-day performance period. Evaluation will be based on a best value trade-off considering past performance, management plans, small business participation, and price. The project magnitude is estimated between $25 million and $50 million. The project requires construction of a 46,000 SF barracks facility and the demolition of two nearby existing barracks. Technical work includes physical access control, intrusion detection, mass notification systems, and cybersecurity measures. Mechanical systems must provide 100 percent redundancy for heating and cooling, either through self-contained units or connection to the local energy plant.
