High-Level Scope of Work

The Department of the Navy (DON) seeks information from qualified vendors to inform the development of a statement of work, baseline schedule, and cost estimate for the complete demolition and site clearance of Facility A-639 (Former NGIS Boca Chica) located at Naval Air Station (NAS) Key West, Florida. Building A-639 is a 21,665 SF three (3) – Story masonry constructed Navy Gateway Inn and Suites (NGIS) building located on NAS Key West (Boca Chica), originally built in 1954 and renovated around 1997 (1997 drawings are available upon request).

The purpose of this RFI is to gather market intelligence on current demolition costs, logistical approaches to island-based waste disposal, hazardous material abatement strategies, and industry best practices.

A. Company Information Required

All responding sources must submit a response in accordance with the information provided below.

• Company Name and Address


• Point of Contact (Name, Phone Number, Email)


• Company Business Size and Status (e.g., Large, Small, 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB)


• Primary NAICS code(s) (e.g., 238910 - Site Preparation Contractors)


• SAM Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and CAGE Code


• Existing Contractual Vehicles (GWAC, FSS, or MAC) available for this work

B. Corporate Capabilities & Experience

Vendors should address their specific capabilities in executing federal demolition projects, specifically in coastal or island environments:

2. Federal Access: Confirm your firm’s capability to adhere to military installation security requirements and obtain DBIDS (Defense Biometric Identification System) credentials for personnel access at NAS Key West.

C. Cost Estimation & Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM)

The Government seeks Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimates strictly for budgetary planning and market research. Pricing submitted is non-binding.

Based on standard industry practices for a facility of this type, please provide a ROM breakdown and address the following cost elements:

Cost Element

Requested Information

Phased ROM Estimate

Provide an estimated percentage breakdown or budgetary dollar figure for the primary phases: 1. Mobilization/Demobilization 2. Hazardous Material Abatement (assumed baseline) 3. Physical Deconstruction 4. Debris Removal, Hauling, and Landfill Fees

Cost Drivers

What do you anticipate being the most significant cost drivers for a demolition project specifically located at NAS Key West?

Market Volatility

Are there current supply chain constraints, equipment shortages, or labor rate spikes in the Monroe County market that the Government should account for in its budgetary estimates?

Value Engineering

What commercial best practices or alternative demolition/disposal methods could the Government incorporate into the final Statement of Work to safely lower the overall project cost?

D. Island Logistics & Environmental Compliance

NAS Key West presents unique geographical and environmental challenges. Please describe your approach to the following:

1. Waste Disposal Logistics: Describe your standard approach for removing demolition debris from Key West. Do you typically utilize mainland landfills via the Overseas Highway (US-1), or do you rely on marine transport/barging?


2. Hazardous Materials: Assuming the presence of standard hazardous materials (e.g., asbestos, lead-based paint), how does your firm handle containment and localized staging prior to off-island transit?


3. Schedule: How many calendar days would you estimate for a standard demolition project of this nature, factoring in standard South Florida weather delays and logistical transit times?

E. Industry Feedback: Government-Provided Information

To maximize competition and ensure accurate pricing in a future formal solicitation, the Government seeks to understand what specific data the industry requires.

• What specific documents, site data, or surveys does your firm need from the Government in a formal solicitation package to provide a highly accurate, firm-fixed-price proposal? (e.g., specific types of hazardous material surveys, utility disconnect maps, laydown area dimensions, historical as-built drawings, etc.)
