Background. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District (NAB) requests capability statements from qualified industry partners.  USACE NAB has been tasked to solicit and award a Design-Build, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) construction contract for the construction of Kimbrough Ambulatory Care Center (KACC) located at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland. 

The magnitude of construction of this project is between $350,000,000 and $500,000,000. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 236220 - “Commercial and Institutional Building Construction”, which has a small business size standard of $45,000,000.

NOTE: An Industry Day event is tentatively scheduled for April 27th and 28th at The George H. Fallon Federal Building, located at 31 Hopkins Plaza Baltimore, MD 21201. A forthcoming announcement containing the event details will be posted under Special Notice ID# W912DR26RA033.

Project Description. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District (NAB), has a requirement for Integrated Design-Build and Initial Outfitting and Transitioning (IDB/IOT) services for a new, turnkey Kimbrough Ambulatory Care Center (KACC) at Fort Meade, Maryland. The objective is to consolidate existing outpatient and dental services into a modern, properly sized, and efficiently configured facility that supports the healthcare and readiness missions of the Fort Meade installation. The new KACC will replace an existing facility that is oversized, contains obsolete building systems, and has failing infrastructure with known hazardous materials.

This effort involves the design and construction of a new ACC facility of approximately 156,000 SF, which may consist of a single building or a campus of multiple buildings. As a turnkey delivery, the contractor will be required to purchase and install all office furniture, Audio/Visual equipment, IT infrastructure, Lab Equipment, and physical and electrical security systems in accordance with all applicable medical Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) and Defense Health Agency (DHA) standards. The transition effort includes developing operational plans for the new space, training staff on updated equipment and workflows, coordinating patient‑move or appointment‑transition logistics, managing decisions on equipment and furniture, and executing the final go‑live of the facility

The new facility will accommodate a wide range of services, including primary care, dental care, behavioral health, optometry, musculoskeletal services, audiology and hearing conservation, specialty services, preventative medicine, laboratory, radiology, and pharmacy. The scope also includes the design and construction of support infrastructure, such as a Central Utility Plant (CUP), site utilities, site improvements, parking, and signage.

This undertaking must deliver a barrier-free design in full accordance with the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Accessibility Standard and the DEPSECDEF Memorandum “Access for People with Disabilities” dated October 31, 2008. It must also integrate Antiterrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) measures, environmental protection measures, and will include the eventual demolition of the antiquated existing buildings.

A key consideration is the continuity of operations, as the new facility will be constructed adjacent to the current, fully operational medical center. All existing infrastructure and clinical services must remain fully functional throughout the construction period, requiring a carefully phased design and construction plan. This work also requires a temporary swing space of approximately 12,000 SF, to be achieved either through renovations to Building 2480 or the installation of modular buildings on-site.
