Black Warrior, Tombigbee, Alabama, Coosa Rivers Project Management Office

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile Directorate of Contracting, is seeking information from qualified contractors capable of delivering a Design-Build to Budget construction project for the Black Warrior and Tombigbee Alabama-Coosa Project Management Office in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This sources sought synopsis is purely an information-gathering effort with no solicitation of proposals or intent to award a contract. The planned construction, estimated between $24 million and $26 million, will require a single contractor to provide full design and construction services including site work, utilities, environmental remediation, and all ancillary requirements, strictly within a fixed Maximum Allowable Construction Cost (MACC). The acquisition will follow the Design-Build to Budget model, where contractors will compete by maximizing scope, quality, and functionality under the fixed budget, with selection based on best-value tradeoff using a firm-fixed-price structure. Respondents must demonstrate their capability to execute full design and construction under the DBtB model, with detailed information on their organizational structure, design team composition, and whether design services will be performed in-house or via a teaming partner or subcontractor licensed in Alabama. Offerors must provide evidence of past performance on comparable commercial or institutional construction projects completed within budget, especially those using Design-Build or Design-Build to Budget methods, including project scope, value, location, and outcomes. Additional requirements include documentation of bonding capacity, firm size classification under the $36.5 million Small Business Size Standard, and five relevant projects completed within the last five years, each described concisely with client references. Responses must be submitted electronically by July 7, 2026, to specified email addresses, with proprietary information clearly marked. This notice carries no obligation from the government, and no compensation will be provided for submitted information.
