UPDATE TO: Construction of Safety Technology Bldg., Test Structure, Control Center and Research Test Pavements

* Please see the Attached Questions and Answers 2. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), William J. Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC), located in Pomona, NJ has a requirement for construction. The project consists of the provision of an approximate 7,600 square foot pre-engineered type Safety Technology building, an approximate 20,000 square foot steel frame membrane type Test Structure, an approximate 1,400 square foot pre-engineered type Control Center; associated site work; utility work including electrical, potable water, fire water, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and telecommunications. Included in the site work will be the construction of research test pavements to be built using FAA design standards for the construction of airports (found in advisory Circular 150/5370-10F) for the purpose of testing asphalt runway materials and designs, to include sensors installed by the FAA during the time of construction. A total of six (6) pavements will be built. Four (4) will be outside and two (2) will be inside the Test Structure. The FAA anticipates award of a Firm Fixed Price Contract late August, early September. Award of this requirement will be made to the responsible lowest price, technically acceptable offeror. The performance period is expected to be 550 calendar days, following the issuance of a Notice to Proceed. The price range for this requirement is between $5 million and $10 million. This procurement will be done in three phases. Phase I – The FAA has retained professional architectural and engineering services to detail the specific work needed and expects to have the final drawings and specifications by mid to late July. INFORMATIONAL ONLY Preliminary Drawings are attached (Attachment I); the preliminary drawings outline the scope of the envisioned work. This broad scope is to give vendors an idea of the size of the project and the resources it will require. It is meant to be informational only.

Vendors must meet all of the requirements under Factors 1 and 2 in the pre-qualification criteria to be considered technically acceptable to move on to the next phase. Phase III – The FAA will invite all of the pre-qualified vendors to a site visit, at which time final drawings and specifications, and a complete Request for Proposal (RFP) Package will be distributed. The FAA will not pay for any information received or costs incurred in attendance of the site visits or preparing responses to this announcement.
