AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Seattle District is organizing a virtual Industry Day event scheduled for December 7, 2021, to discuss an upcoming Design-Build project for the Agricultural Research Service Plant Biosciences Research Building at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. This one-hour webinar aims to inform and engage industry participants in the development of the acquisition plan and solicitation process. The project involves constructing a new approximately 105,000 gross square foot research facility that will provide shared laboratory and office spaces for both the U.S. Department of Agriculture's ARS and WSU's plant biosciences programs. The government plans to award this as a firm-fixed-price contract with an estimated construction cost ranging between $25 million and $100 million, with a construction cost limitation of $90 million. Industry input during the event is encouraged to help shape the acquisition strategy, which anticipates a solicitation release in February 2022. Key details include the project's requirement for 100 percent payment and performance bonds, and its integration with WSU's existing Vogel Plant Biosciences Building, which currently lacks office space for scientists, as well as connection to the Research and Education Complex spine for access to utilities and collaborative spaces. The design must achieve third-party green building certification through the U.S. Green Building Council or Green Building Initiative. Participation in the Industry Day webinar requires prior registration via the provided link to receive access information. The project falls under NAICS code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction with applicable small business size standards, and there is no Recovery Act funding involved. Points of contact are available for further questions related to the event or project.

Full Description

SPECIAL NOTICE: INDUSTRY DAY The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Northwestern Division (CENWD) - Seattle District (CENWS) conducting a VIRTUAL Industry Day event for an upcoming project requirement Design-Build (DB) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Plant Biosciences Research Building Washington State University (WSU) at Pullman, Washington on Tuesday, 7 December 2021, from 0900 AM to 1200 PM (Pacific Standard Time (PST)). The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Seattle District intends to collaborate with industry as we prepare the acquisition plan and solicitation for a Plant Bioscience Research Building project on the Washington State University Pullman Campus. The purpose of the virtual event is for the Government to provide an update and overview of ARS Plant Biosciences Research Building requirement. We understand the importance to the construction industry to have advance knowledge of the project, and we welcome industry's participation and input in the development of the requirement's acquisition plan. The webinar will take approximately one-hour where the Government will present information and invite industry to share observations and concerns. The anticipated acquisition strategy is a firm-fixed price type contract Design-Build project with a tentative solicitation publication of February 2022. Requirement Information: NAICS Code: 236220 - Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with a small business size standard of $39.5 million. Recovery Act? No PROJECT SYNOPSIS: DB construction of a new ~105,000GSF Research Facility on the WSU campus. The new facility will provide joint ARS and WSU laboratory and office space for plant biosciences for the U.S. Department of Agriculture/ARS. The proposed project will be a firm fixed-price construction project. The magnitude of the construction project is between $25 million and $100 million (Construction Cost Limitation $90 million). For this potential project, 100 percent payment and performance bonds will be required. Key considerations include connection to the existing Vogel Plant Biosciences Building which has laboratory but no office space for ARS and WSU scientists. Inclusion of additional offices to support ARS scientists with labs, but no offices, in the Vogel building is critical. Connection to the Research and Education Complex (REC) Spine which includes collaborative space, loading docks and utility connections. The new facility will provide joint ARS and WSU laboratory and office space for plant biosciences. The project site selected, in accordance with the WSU Research and Education Complex (REC) master plan, is located on the WSU campus. The A-E will register the design for third-party certification using either the U.S. Green Building Council or Green Building Initiative.
