Y--GAOA ELKO DISTRICT OFFICE REPLACEMENT

The U.S. Department of the Interior, through the National Operations Center and the Bureau of Land Management, is seeking qualified small businesses to respond to a sources-sought notice for the replacement of the Elko District Office located at 3900 East Idaho Street, Elko, Nevada. The procurement is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, utilizing NAICS Code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with responses due by June 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM Mountain Time. The anticipated project involves a design-build delivery method to replace the existing BLM office with a new facility, followed by demolition of the old structure and construction of a new Forest Service office in a phased approach. The contractor must deliver comprehensive design documentation including schematic, design development, and final construction documents stamped by a licensed architect or engineer, along with as-constructed drawings within 30 days of substantial completion. The scope encompasses site preparation, utility work, and integration of all project elements to comply with BLM’s Building Codes and Standards 2025, the Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings 2020, and 10 CFR Part 433, requiring compliance with ASHRAE 90.1-2019 for energy modeling. All work must conform to MasterFormat and Uniformat standards, adhere to applicable federal, state, and local codes, and follow BLM’s internal memoranda on space authorizations and design standards. The contractor is responsible for providing their own contract administration and quality control, including the coordination of independent testing laboratories and the engagement of a certified commissioning agent whose services and costs are included within the contract. A detailed schedule of values must be agreed upon prior to the first progress payment, with payments based on the percentage of work completed and verified by the government. The contractor must submit monthly status reports via email and maintain a Microsoft Teams site for communication. All submittals must be electronic, provided in both PDF and native software formats (AutoCAD, Revit, Word, Excel), and transmitted via the BLM CM-16 form. Bid, performance, and payment bonds are anticipated to be required, along with proof of liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. The schedule is structured around calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with key milestones for design phases, a pre-construction meeting, and ongoing updates to a Critical Path Method schedule every two months.
