Repair AMSA/ECS- Arden Hills Army Reserve Center, Minnesota

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District, is soliciting proposals under Solicitation No. W912QR26RA035 for the Design-Build of a complete renovation and expansion of a 31,658 square foot Maintenance Support Activity and Equipment Concentration Site in Arden Hills, Minnesota, to support Army Reserve operations. The project involves comprehensive repairs and upgrades to all major building systems including HVAC, electrical distribution, fire alarm and suppression, roofing, exterior facade, windows, doors, ceilings, flooring, and interior reconfiguration, along with the retrofit installation of a new 10-ton crane requiring a raised roof structure. All hazardous materials encountered during demolition must be removed and disposed of in full compliance with state and federal regulations. The contract is a Firm-Fixed-Price type under NAICS code 236220, with an estimated value between $25 million and $100 million, and a period of performance of 987 calendar days, though no funds are currently available and award is contingent upon future appropriations. Proposals must be submitted through a two-phase Best-Value Tradeoff process. Phase I evaluates past performance of the prime contractor and architect/engineer of record, technical approach for design-build execution, and financial capability with bonding and pro forma information. Up to five offerors will be selected to proceed to Phase II, where they must submit detailed design narratives, management plans, schedule narratives, small business participation plans, and comprehensive pricing. All non-price evaluation factors—design narrative, management plan, schedule narrative, and small business participation—are considered approximately equal in importance to price, and the Government intends to award without discussions, though it reserves the right to conduct them. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and possess a valid UEI and CAGE code; proposals must be electronically submitted via the PIEE Solicitation Module in two volumes with strict formatting, page limits, and file requirements. Key special requirements include compliance with EM 385-1-1 safety standards, AT Level 1 training for personnel, English-speaking on-site representatives, inclusion of Minnesota sales tax in pricing, and submission of subcontracting plans by large businesses. Final acceptance occurs on-site in Arden Hills, and the contract includes several optional scopes for future expansion, though their exercise is at the Government’s discretion.
