AI Contract Overview
The Department of the Navy, through Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southeast, is seeking market intelligence via a Request for Information (RFI) for the eventual demolition of Facility A-639, a formerly used Navy Gateway Inn and Suites located at Naval Air Station Key West, Florida. This RFI is strictly for planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation, commitment, or obligation to award a contract. Respondents are not required to provide proposals, and any information submitted will be treated as non-binding market research only. The government aims to collect data on demolition costs, logistical challenges specific to island environments, hazardous material handling, waste disposal methods, and industry best practices to inform future procurement activities. Responses must be submitted by July 30, 2026, via email and are limited to 25 pages with a 10 MB file size restriction. Companies are encouraged to include their SAM UEI and CAGE codes, business size status, applicable NAICS codes, and any existing contracting vehicles they hold, such as GSA Schedules or NAVFAC MAC contracts. Respondents are asked to address five key areas: company background and capabilities, past experience with similar federal or coastal demolition projects, rough order of magnitude cost estimates broken down by major phases such as mobilization, hazardous material abatement, deconstruction, and debris removal, island-specific logistics including waste transport via highway or barge and containment protocols for hazardous substances, and final feedback regarding what additional site data or documentation would be necessary to formulate an accurate firm-fixed-price proposal in the future. The project’s unique challenges include limited access due to the island location, potential environmental regulations, and South Florida weather-related delays. The government is particularly interested in understanding cost drivers such as supply chain issues, labor rates in Monroe County, and viable value engineering opportunities. All submissions must be marked as “Proprietary Information” if they contain sensitive business data, and responders are responsible for all costs associated with submitting their input.

Interested parties should limit marketing material to allow for direct and substantive responses to the information requested by the Government.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If your company has an existing contracting vehicle that can fulfill this need (e.g., GSA Schedule, NAVFAC MAC/MACC, or any other existing contract/Basic Ordering Agreement), please provide enough information in your response for the Government to analyze those resources to include points of contact, contract number/name, etc.
Any responding contractor may respond to any number of questions posed in this RFI (items A-E below); a submission does not mandate a response to each question asked. All socioeconomic categories are encouraged to respond.
High-Level Scope of Work
The Department of the Navy (DON) seeks information from qualified vendors to inform the development of a statement of work, baseline schedule, and cost estimate for the complete demolition and site clearance of Facility A-639 (Former NGIS Boca Chica) located at Naval Air Station (NAS) Key West, Florida. Building A-639 is a 21,665 SF three (3) – Story masonry constructed Navy Gateway Inn and Suites (NGIS) building located on NAS Key West (Boca Chica), originally built in 1954 and renovated around 1997 (1997 drawings are available upon request).
The purpose of this RFI is to gather market intelligence on current demolition costs, logistical approaches to island-based waste disposal, hazardous material abatement strategies, and industry best practices.
A. Company Information Required
All responding sources must submit a response in accordance with the information provided below.
- Company Name and Address
- Point of Contact (Name, Phone Number, Email)
- Company Business Size and Status (e.g., Large, Small, 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB)
- Primary NAICS code(s) (e.g., 238910 - Site Preparation Contractors)
- SAM Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and CAGE Code
- Existing Contractual Vehicles (GWAC, FSS, or MAC) available for this work
B. Corporate Capabilities & Experience
Vendors should address their specific capabilities in executing federal demolition projects, specifically in coastal or island environments:
- Similar Experience: Provide two (2) to three (3) examples of similar commercial or federal demolition projects completed within the last five (5) years. Highlight any work performed in remote locations, island environments, or heavily regulated coastal zones.
- Federal Access: Confirm your firm’s capability to adhere to military installation security requirements and obtain DBIDS (Defense Biometric Identification System) credentials for personnel access at NAS Key West.
C. Cost Estimation & Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM)
The Government seeks Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimates strictly for budgetary planning and market research. Pricing submitted is non-binding.
Based on standard industry practices for a facility of this type, please provide a ROM breakdown and address the following cost elements:
Cost Element
Requested Information
Phased ROM Estimate
Provide an estimated percentage breakdown or budgetary dollar figure for the primary phases: 1. Mobilization/Demobilization 2. Hazardous Material Abatement (assumed baseline) 3. Physical Deconstruction 4. Debris Removal, Hauling, and Landfill Fees
Cost Drivers
What do you anticipate being the most significant cost drivers for a demolition project specifically located at NAS Key West?
Market Volatility
Are there current supply chain constraints, equipment shortages, or labor rate spikes in the Monroe County market that the Government should account for in its budgetary estimates?
Value Engineering
What commercial best practices or alternative demolition/disposal methods could the Government incorporate into the final Statement of Work to safely lower the overall project cost?
D. Island Logistics & Environmental Compliance
NAS Key West presents unique geographical and environmental challenges. Please describe your approach to the following:
- Waste Disposal Logistics: Describe your standard approach for removing demolition debris from Key West. Do you typically utilize mainland landfills via the Overseas Highway (US-1), or do you rely on marine transport/barging?
- Hazardous Materials: Assuming the presence of standard hazardous materials (e.g., asbestos, lead-based paint), how does your firm handle containment and localized staging prior to off-island transit?
- Schedule: How many calendar days would you estimate for a standard demolition project of this nature, factoring in standard South Florida weather delays and logistical transit times?
E. Industry Feedback: Government-Provided Information
To maximize competition and ensure accurate pricing in a future formal solicitation, the Government seeks to understand what specific data the industry requires.
- What specific documents, site data, or surveys does your firm need from the Government in a formal solicitation package to provide a highly accurate, firm-fixed-price proposal? (e.g., specific types of hazardous material surveys, utility disconnect maps, laydown area dimensions, historical as-built drawings, etc.)
