DESCRIPTION OF WORK: This project will repair the facility’s structural concrete spalling, roof, and mechanical and electrical systems. The concrete roof will be completely rebuilt, including an anchoring system and seismic improvements. Insulation will be installed on the interior side of the exterior walls and below the roof slab. The ventilation and air conditioning, electrical, and fire protection systems will be replaced throughout the building. Project also includes the patching and repair of concrete spalling, structural repairs to the concrete masonry unit load-bearing walls, replacement of interior doors, and repairs to finishes including gypsum and drop ceilings. The roof and concrete beams as well as select foundation footings will be demolished; footing extensions and slab on grade improvements included where new or extended shear walls are required.

NOTE: This requirement will be performed in its entirety in the country of Japan. The successful Offeror must be licensed and registered to perform work in Okinawa Prefecture.

All offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) (https://www.sam.gov/SAM/). Joint Ventures (JV) must be registered in SAM as the joint venture. Offerors are advised to begin this process when they prepare their proposal in order to ensure this registration is in place should they be selected for the award. Lack of registration in the SAM database will make an offeror ineligible for award.

Vendors are highly encouraged to take full advantage of this advance information. The Government will host a virtual vendor engagement to provide more details about the two-phase selection process and answer questions regarding this requirement.

The Government will evaluate qualifications in accordance with the criteria described in the RFP and will award a single firm fixed price contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal the Source Selection Authority (SSA) determines conforms to the solicitation and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering the non-price factors described in the RFP.
