Demolition of two buildings

Site Visit - Demolition of Buildings 657 and 659 Sept 15, 2009 Robins AFB GA The following information was provided/reiterated by the Contracting Officer: This is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business Set Aside. Only proposals from companies certified as such will be considered. If you are teaming, the award will be made to the SDVOSB and, per clause incorporated in the solicitation, the SDVOSB employees must do 25% of the cost of performance. These projects are not yet funded. The Government may fund one, both or neither of the demolitions. That is why proposals are to be for 4 line items as directed in the solicitation. This is a Services acquisition, not a construction acquisition. The Service Contract Act will apply, not the Davis-Bacon Act. The applicable Wage Determination was included in the attachments to the solicitation. There is no construction bond required, and certified payrolls will not be required. Contractor Questions: Q1. Will the buildings be emptied? A1. The government shall remove all stored materials in building 659. All equipment and materials bolted to the facility (such as the chain link fence observed at the site visit) shall be demolished with the building by the contractor. The government has already removed all equipment from building 657. The contractor shall remove all remaining materials left on site. Q2.
