Project Information Project Title: Design-Build Repair by Replacement (RBR) Vehicle and Air Ground Equipment (AGE) Maintenance Facility. Project Location: NASA AFRC, Edwards AFB, Edwards, CA 93523. The North American Classification Systems Code (NAICS) and small business size standard for this procurement are 236220 - Commercial and Institutional Building Construction and $36.5M, respectively. Construction Magnitude: The Estimated Price Range is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, in accordance with FAR 36.204. The effort shall be completed within 400 calendar days after notice to proceed. Project Description: NASA AFRC intends to replace its current obsolete AGE maintenance facility with a more functional, energy efficient, and environmentally sustainable facility. The new facility is to be constructed in a Design-Build manner, while also achieving LEED gold certification.
