This is not a request for proposal (RFP). However, the resultant contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price contract. PROJECT SCOPE OVERVIEW: This market research effort seeks preliminary information from capable and reliable sources who may be interested in submitting a proposal to perform the fabrication and field installation of a modular office facility inside a warehouse that will be constructed by others. The MOF contractor will provide design assistance to the architect-engineering (A-E) firm designing the warehouse. The MOF contractor will provide the A-E firm with technical and engineering requirements of the MOF to incorporate into the warehouse design. The MOF contractor will make final electrical, HVAC, piping, and communications connections between the modular office to the appropriate tie-in points in the warehouse. Delivery and installation of the MOF must be coordinated with the completion and turnover of the warehouse. The MOF shall be one level with an open office space configuration; and approximately 64 feet long by 40 feet wide and 12 feet high. All mechanical ductwork, fire suppression, and electrical conduit shall be within the interior of the MOF. The MOF shall be designed such that another modular office space of the same size can be mounted on top of the MOF for future expansion. Magnitude of Construction Project: The magnitude for this project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. Proposal Procedures: For this project, USACE intends to issue a RFP, utilizing the tradeoff source selection proposal evaluation procedures, on the best value continuum, in accordance with FAR 15.101-1.
