P-1577, Combat Water Survival Training Facility, Marine Corps Base (MCB), Camp Lejeune, NC

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command Mid-Atlantic is conducting market research for a Design-Build project to construct a Combat Water Survival Training Facility at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. The anticipated magnitude of construction is between 100 million and 250 million dollars, with an estimated period of performance of 1,460 calendar days. The facility will feature an indoor combat survival pool with a dive tower and concrete decking, an indoor combat training pool equipped for Underwater Egress Training, and a support facility for trainer module storage. Additional components include swim qualification classrooms with an enclosed walkway, administrative spaces, filtration and mechanical rooms, bleachers, locker rooms, and public bathrooms. Construction will utilize steel beams, columns, CMU walls, and a standing seam metal roof, requiring deep foundations to mitigate buoyancy from a high water table. This project must adhere to Department of Defense criteria for cybersecurity in facility-related control systems and comply with Unified Facilities Criteria for minimum antiterrorism standards for buildings. As this is currently a Sources Sought Notice and not a formal request for proposals, the government is evaluating the availability of small business sources, including SDVOSB, HUBZone, and 8(a) certified firms. To be considered relevant, interested contractors must demonstrate experience with indoor aquatic or specialized military training facilities completed within the last ten years that cost at least 60 million dollars and feature at least 10,000 square feet of water surface area. Future solicitations may include limitations on subcontracting and requirements for a Project Labor Agreement.
