Estimated Acquisition Magnitudes: EIE483 – Joint Mobility Center Expansion: Approximately $249.2 million. EIE484 – 225-Bed Permanent Party Dormitory: Approximately $305 million. Planned Acquisition Strategy: The Government anticipates utilizing an Other Transaction (OT) Agreement for each project. The final delivery method has not been determined and may be Progressive Design-Build (PDB) or Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), as informed by market intelligence and Government requirements. The Alaska District is conducting market intelligence to assess industry capability and interest in supporting these efforts utilizing an OT Agreement under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 2808a. This authority permits the Secretary concerned, subject to applicable statutory requirements, to enter into transactions other than contracts, cooperative agreements, or grants for facility repair and construction projects, including planning, design, engineering, prototyping, piloting, and execution. This authority is distinct from the Department of Defense prototype OT authorities commonly associated with 10 U.S.C. § 4021 and 4022. The Government will use market-intelligence responses to inform the appropriate delivery method, acquisition approach, and project-specific terms for each requirement. The anticipated delivery approach is expected to include the following phases, subject to the final acquisition strategy and project-specific solicitation terms: Phase 1: Design and Pre-Construction Services. The OT Awardee shall collaborate with the Government and, as applicable, the Designer of Record (DOR) or project design team to support scope validation, constructability, cost estimating, schedule development, risk management, design coordination, and development of a proposed construction price. Phase 2: Final Design and Construction. Upon reaching an agreed-upon level of design and completion of pre-construction activities, the Awardee may submit a proposed Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) or other agreed-upon construction price, as identified in the applicable solicitation. If the Government accepts the proposed price, the Government may authorize construction execution. If the parties cannot reach agreement on price or other required terms, the Government retains an off-ramp to complete the requirement through an alternative acquisition or delivery method.
