Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is seeking industry feedback for the construction of the Patton Hall New Strategic Engagement Platform located at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, Virginia. The project will utilize the Design-Build to Budget (DB2B) acquisition approach, and the procurement will be a competitive design-build that seeks to optimize the budget in terms of quality, scope, durability, and life-cycle cost. The budget, or the design and construction cost ceiling, will be disclosed, and evaluation will focus on 'mission critical' factors and innovative betterments and enhancements within the budget with award to a best solution and not the 'cheapest' proposal.
Some key points to consider include:
• The project will utilize the Design-Build to Budget collaborative delivery method.
• The Government plans to issue a Stipend for unsuccessful Phase II offerors to offset the cost of planning and engineering to support the iterative process and proposal development.
• Small business subcontracting is a required evaluation factor per FAR 15.305.
• The Government plans to hold a series of iterative meetings after issuance of a DRAFT Phase II RFP to the down-selected offerors.
• The final Phase II RFP will be issued with a proposal due date of not less than 30 days from issuance.
