[email protected] AND NOT ALVINA WOODSON AS INDICATED BELOW. REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Tenant Relocation Move Services Introduction: The Washington Headquarters Services (WHS)may procure the services of multiple professional moving service contractors to provide logistical services. These services would encompass continued logistical services in support of the Pentagon Renovation Project. The services primarily involve relocating furniture and other office equipment within the Pentagon per schedules to be developed after award. In addition, these services could be used on a WHS Enterprise-wide basis to support of relocations of DoD components from leased space in the National Capitol Region (NCR) to Fort Belvoir, VA or other preferred site alternatives in the NCR and as mandated by the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Act and/or other WHS operational requirements. Moves would occur both within the Pentagon itself and from and to other DoD locations. The solicitation would result in a multiple award IDIQ with a maximum potential ceiling of $15 million. Individual task orders will be competed amongst the resultant contracts. The selected contractors must have extensive experience in providing the resource management, labor, transportation, materials, equipment, expertise and the performance excellence necessary to relocate the Department of Defense Staff as required by the Pentagon Renovation Project schedule and other WHS operational and logistical schedules. Background: The Pentagon Renovation Project encompasses a complete internal renovation of the entire Pentagon facility including the logistical support and activities required to ready the space for construction and the final tenant moves required when the renovated spaces become fully operational. As of March 1, 2008 there remains approximately 1.4 million square feet and 11,000 staff positions, which will be impacted by future renovation activities. In addition to relocations within the Pentagon, WHS Enterprise-wide related activities may encompass the relocation of approximately 6,200 personnel from leased or government-owned locations in the National Capitol Region including the Pentagon to other leased and/or government-owned locations within the National Capitol Region. Purpose of Request for Information (RFI): WHS may compete this requirement on an unrestricted basis. Consequently, the purpose of this RFI is to gather information to assist WHS in identifying qualified small businesses that are able to meet our requirements. WHS will in turn use this information to determine whether this acquisition is fit for a small business set aside. Description of Information Requested: All interested vendors are invited to submit a 2 page capability statement and contact information. The capability statement should discuss the vendors ability to handle internal (within the Pentagon) and external (within the NCR) moves of between 30 and 110 personnel in a day including classified materials and some specialized equipment. The moves generally occur on a daily basis (potentially Monday through Saturday) at a rate of 250-300 personnel a week. This, in turn, will occur during a two to four month period of intense activity; i.e., moves every day of every week followed by a lull in activity of 6-10 months. Many of the moves will be internal to the Pentagon but, because of construction activities, may often involve lengthy move routes (?pushes?) of between 1320 and 3,960 feet in length. Similarly, moves out of and into the Pentagon itself as well as surplus activities, because they involve moving furniture and equipment in to or out of the Pentagon through the RDF may require even more lengthy move routes since the distance from the RDF itself to the top of the RDF connector is 1380 feet. Also note that the ramp from the RDF is on an uphill incline. Offerors must plan for security-related delays such as the requirement to badge all workers and inspect vehicles that enter and leave the Pentagon or other secure facilities. Although offerors will not need a facility clearance, employees will haveto undergo a NCIC check in order to secure a badge. Disclaimer: This RFI is solely for information and planning purposes, and does not constitute a Request for Proposal. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form any binding contracts. Additionally, respondents should be aware that they will not be notified of any results of the review. How to Respond: Any vendor who can provide the services above should send his capability statement to: Keanna Maxwell at (703-693-8384)
