Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Fort Worth District is conducting a Sources‑Sought market research to gauge industry interest and capability for the B‑21 Utilities & Site Improvements project at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas. The effort will add underground high‑voltage power distribution and fiber‑optic communications infrastructure to support the upcoming B‑21 weapons system deployment. The solicitation is posted as an OT‑based feasibility study and does not constitute a binding RFP or IFB; no payment will be made for responses. Interested firms must submit their feedback via a Microsoft Forms link by the deadline.
• Scope includes ~3,494 LM of high‑voltage underground electrical lines, ~2,603 LM of fiber‑optic duct banks, horizontal directional boring, and apron pavement replacement.
• Total construction cost limitation (CCL) is $28.55 M, split roughly $15.15 M for communications and $13.40 M for electrical.
• USACE is evaluating an Other Transaction (OT) Agreement with possible delivery methods such as Progressive Design‑Build, Design‑Build to Budget, or CMAR, and invites industry input on feasibility, risks, and potential incentives.
