Repair ADM Baker Pool Complex

The Navy is seeking a contractor to renovate the ADM Baker Pool Complex in San Diego, California, to address high demand and enhance safety standards. The project encompasses upgrading the main swimming pool, converting an existing wading pool into a splash pad, and renovating the snack bar and locker room facilities. The total funds available for the design and construction are capped at $7,118,094, with liquidated damages of $1,678 per calendar day for delays beyond the agreed completion timeline. Proposals must be submitted in two volumes—technical and price—by the deadline of June 5, 2026. The procurement follows a best value trade-off approach, prioritizing technical merit equally with price, meaning the award may not go to the lowest bidder if a higher-priced offer provides demonstrable added advantage. Evaluation focuses on the proposed design solution, the contractor’s qualifications and experience, and the viability of the project management plan, with no formal adjectival ratings or numerical weights assigned to sub-factors. Contract requirements include compliance with stringent technical standards such as UFC codes, ASTM standards, NFPA codes, the California Building Code, and the Model Aquatic Health Code. The contractor must submit detailed design submittals, a critical path method (CPM) schedule in Gantt chart format, an inventory of all installed equipment, a schedule of values for fixtures and furnishings, and a comprehensive operations and maintenance manual that includes extended warranties aligned with the contract’s technical specifications. The contractor is responsible for implementing a quality control plan, ensuring all work is performed to government inspection standards, and conducting video-recorded systems demonstrations and training sessions for Navy staff. Key personnel cannot be substituted without prior written approval, and all employees must be clearly identified on site. Insurance must name NAFI as a party and include a 30-day cancellation notice. All materials, particularly pesticides, must be handled under strict environmental protocols per EPA and DoD guidelines, and all design documents become the exclusive property of NAFI. Invoices must be submitted electronically via a designated portal using AIA Form G-702 and G-703, and payments will be processed through electronic funds transfer. The Contracting Officer, Alanna Young, serves as the sole point of contact for all administrative and contractual matters, with no COR or COTR yet assigned.
