This amount includes construction, contingency, design, construction security, and other applicable project costs and does not represent the construction agreement value available under this AOI. The present acquisition contemplates award for the Rapid Delivery Projects under Milestones 2 through 4 only, consisting of: Combined Operations and Maintenance Hangar. Reprogramming Laboratory. Simulator Facility. Aircraft Apron with Sunshades. Supporting utilities and infrastructure necessary for permanent operation of the Rapid Delivery facilities. The Government strongly prefers to select one Design-Build team capable of delivering all Rapid Delivery Projects, while reserving the right to select up to four teams if warranted by program requirements and permitted by the applicable acquisition authority. The Government also values organizations possessing the qualifications and resources to support the remaining Nellis F-47 Campus. However, selection under this AOI does not guarantee Milestone 5 or subsequent Agreement(s). Progressive Design-Build Delivery Approach The Government intends to initiate design and preconstruction services following completion of the Planning Charrette Reports establishing the initial mission requirements. The selected Design-Build team will work collaboratively with AFCEC and its Owner's Advisor to advance facility designs, evaluate alternative technical and construction solutions, develop cost and schedule strategies, and establish commercially supportable construction pricing. The Government contemplates negotiating firm-fixed-price construction agreement at approximately 65% design completion, subject to sufficient scope maturity, risk allocation, and commercial cost viability. Advanced design packages, early construction activities, and long-lead procurement may be considered where appropriately justified and authorized. AFCEC seeks a collaborative construction partner committed to delivering the greatest possible mission capability and value for the resources invested. The Government intends to consider innovative design and construction approaches, including industrialized construction methods, commercially effective Agreement commitment strategies, and practical alternatives that improve affordability and schedule performance. Three-Phase Selection Process The Government intends to conduct an expedited three-phase selection process under MACH1: Phase 1: Solution Brief. Respondents will submit qualifications and technical information demonstrating the capabilities of their actual proposed design and construction organizations.
