Y--Challis FO Construction Request for Information

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Idaho State Office is conducting acquisition planning for the requirement to construct a new field office. The existing site is Government owned. The Government is preparing the 100% for construction documents and is currently planning to phase the construction. The Government is considering whether to separate each phase into a separate contract or to issue as a single contract with phase II as an option item. Notice of intent to exercise the option may not come from the Government until late 2025. The estimated disclosure of magnitude to complete both phase I and Phase II is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 in accordance with FAR 36.204(f). Phase I would include site preparation activities including clearing/grubbing, grading, asphalt, sidewalk, utility connections, lighting, utility distribution, fencing, and preparation for future landscaping, etc. Phase II would include site work within the building footprint including structural fill, foundation, structure placement, final utility connections, final landscaping, etc. The Government is considering the convenience of utilizing a Factory-Built Building (FBB) style facility instead of standard construction methods. The attached drawing shows the draft site layout of the proposed project.
