PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Construction projects to be performed under this MACC will require the ability to manage multiple task orders concurrently across the PWD Pennsylvania AOR. The general construction work includes, but is not limited to, the following elements: new construction, demolition, repair, alteration, and renovation of buildings, systems and infrastructure and may include architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and communication systems. Types of facilities include administrative, industrial, maintenance, warehouses, communications, personnel support, recreation, lodging, dormitory, medical, roads, etc. Lead or asbestos abatement may be required.

Work may be required in other areas in the area of responsibility of NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic if deemed necessary.

The Government intends to award approximately five (5) contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offerors whose proposals represent the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation. This solicitation will result in a competitively negotiated firm fixed-price IDIQ MACC. The aggregate value of all contracts awarded from any resultant solicitation is anticipated to be $249,000,000 over the base year and four option periods combined, not to exceed 60 months. Projects awarded on this MACC will have an estimated construction cost of approximately $500,000 to $5,000,000. The Government guarantees an award amount of $5,000 to each successful Offeror over the full term of the contract, including option years. However, task orders under or over these amounts may be considered if deemed to be in the Government’s best interest and approved by the Contracting Officer.

The contract term will be a base period of one year plus four option years. Only the base period of the contract will offer a minimum guarantee. If the Government does not award a follow-on contract in time, the Government may require the Contractor to continue performance for an additional period up to six months under the Option to Extend Services clause.

The initial project “seed project” for this solicitation is RM24-1995, Site Fire Suppression Improvements located at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

The seed project includes the design and replacement of the existing fire pumps in Buildings 2 and 18B to a new primary electric pump with a variable-frequency drive (VFD) and a backup diesel pump in each building; and to design a new primary electric pump with a VFD and a backup diesel pump in Building 504C. The scope of services also includes adding 127 pressure reducing valves on the domestic water connections to ensure the domestic water is not over pressurized with the new fire pumps. In addition, the scope includes installing a new transformer for Building 504C to supply power for the new electric fire pump and upgrade the fire alarm systems in Buildings 2, 18B, and 504C. Because of the age of the existing underground piping, the new fire pumps were designed smaller than the existing fire pumps to limit the pressure on the underground as much as possible to not cause additional issues but still meet the required fire flow and sprinkler demands.

In accordance with FAR 36.204, the magnitude of construction for the seed project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.
