The U.S. Property and Fiscal Office for Kansas plans to issue a Request for Proposal to award a single firm fixed-price contract for constructing a new National Guard Readiness Center Building for the 35th Infantry Division in Leavenworth, Kansas. The project includes building a Readiness Center with up to 102,672 gross square feet and a detached Maintenance Bay building of up to 5,359 gross square feet. The scope covers all necessary labor, materials, tools, equipment, and supervision for construction, including site infrastructure such as access roadways, parking lots, security lighting, utilities, and stormwater management. Specific brand requirements are mandated for door lock cores and building control systems, limiting the use of substitute products. The base contract includes various supporting architectural and site components, while multiple options requiring separate pricing include enhancements such as asphalt pavement for a parking lot, terracotta architectural precast panels, metal lockers, operable partitions, dock lift installation, window roller shades, terracotta window sunscreens, site furnishings, an additional maintenance training building, audio-visual systems, and a generator installation. The contract duration is set at 24 months following the Notice to Proceed, with an estimated project value ranging between $25 million and $100 million. The solicitation will be unrestricted but includes a HUBZone preference and requires a Small Business Subcontracting Plan from large business offerors. The planned solicitation release date was on or about June 1, 2018, with a pre-proposal conference tentatively scheduled for June 11, 2018, and proposals due by approximately July 8, 2018. Evaluation factors for award include technical capability, price reasonableness, and past performance, with potential award without discussions unless deemed necessary. Interested contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and access solicitation documents through the official federal acquisition portal. All amendments and communications will be posted electronically, and written inquiries are to be submitted per solicitation instructions.
