RM22-1205 B7 Structural Repairs at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery ME

NAVFAC Atlantic is requesting information on using a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) for a significant construction project in Maine. This RFI is not a solicitation, but a market survey for building repairs and renovations, including a major renovation of Building 7 at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The project, valued between $25M and $100M, will span approximately 1095 days. Per Executive Order 14063, PLAs are required for federal construction projects costing over $35M, promoting efficiency. The public, including government entities, unions, and contractors, is invited to provide feedback via a questionnaire by January 2, 2026. The questionnaire seeks input on specialized construction, labor availability (union/non-union), interest in participation, the impact of PLAs, their use in similar projects, wage rate comparisons, and potential cost increases due to PLA requirements. This information will aid NAVFAC's planning; no contract will be awarded based on this survey, and all responses will remain confidential.

This document is a "SOURCES SOUGHT – PROJECT INFORMATION FORM" used by contractors to submit project experience relevant to a government announcement. Contractors can submit up to five projects, with each response limited to two pages. The form requests detailed information about each project, including contractor and customer names, contract and project numbers, award and completion dates, and the final contract price. It also asks for the project's completion percentage and whether the contractor was a prime or subcontractor. Further details include the type of work (new construction, repair, or renovation), type of contract (Design-Build, Design-Bid-Build, or other), and a detailed description of the project and the percentage of work self-performed by the firm. This form is crucial for government agencies to assess a contractor's capabilities and experience for federal and state/local RFPs and grants.

The "SOURCES SOUGHT – CONTRACTOR INFORMATION FORM" is a standardized document for contractors to submit essential company details for government RFPs, federal grants, or state/local RFPs. It requests basic contractor information such as EIN, CAGE Code, firm name, address, and contact person details. The form also requires the contractor to specify their business type, including certifications like SBA certified 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Veteran Owned, Woman Owned, Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business, or general Small Business. Additionally, it asks for bonding capacity information, including the surety name and maximum bonding capacity per project and in aggregate. A dedicated section is available for contractors to clarify any of the provided information, ensuring accuracy and completeness without altering the form's content.

The document outlines criteria for evaluating construction firms, likely for federal or state government RFPs. It details required project experience, including a final construction cost exceeding $25M, and specialized experience in complete renovation of historic structures that are at least three stories tall. Key experience points include hazardous material abatement, renovation of historic granite block buildings with temporary shoring, modifications to historic timber framing, adherence to the Secretary of the Interior guidelines for historic facilities, overhauling building systems (mechanical, electrical, fire protection), managing multi-phased construction, and working in congested urban areas with limited laydown space.
