Cost Element

Provide cost breakdown in the following manner:

Phased ROM Estimate

1. Phase 1 Base Bid:  Hangar 1 and foundation, 41,540 SF airfield pavement and site improvements including utilities for a complete and usable facility.  Phase 1 must be complete by DEC2028.

2. Phase 2 Option 1:  Hangar 2 and foundation, 20,460 SF airfield pavement and site improvements including utilities for a complete and usable facility.  Phase 2 must be completed by DEC2029.

If Option 1 is awarded with Base Bid or before Base Bid completion construction for both phases can be parallel.

D. Cost Drivers

What do you anticipate being the most significant cost drivers for a temporary hangar project specifically located at NAS Jacksonville Florida?

E. Market Volatility

Are there current supply chain constraints, equipment shortages, or labor rate spikes in the Northeast Florida market that the Government should account for in its budgetary estimates?

F. Value Engineering

What commercial best practices or alternative methods could the Government incorporate into the final Statement of Work to safely lower the overall project cost and reduce construction duration?

G. Schedule: How many calendar days would you estimate for a standard RMB project of this nature, factoring in standard Northeast Florida weather delays?

H. Industry Feedback: Government-Provided Information

To maximize competition and ensure accurate pricing in a future formal solicitation, the Government seeks to understand what specific data the industry requires.

What specific documents, site data, or surveys does your firm need from the Government in a formal solicitation package to provide a highly accurate, firm-fixed-price proposal?
