USACE Seeking Sources for Construction Support Building at Y-12

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking sources to determine the feasibility of building a 64,800-square-foot construction support facility at Y-12, estimated to cost between $10 and $25 million and to require about 1 1/2 years to complete, according to an announcement posted on Fed Biz Opps late Tuesday afternoon. “The proposed project is for the design and construction of a three-story, weather tight, fully accessible, Construction Support Building (CSB) at the Y-12 National Security Complex,” the notice states. A government source with knowledge of the project said any contract would probably be awarded by this fall. The announcement asks interested parties to respond by July 29, and notes any resulting contract could be a set-aside, if “a reasonable number of interested small business concerns” exist. The National Nuclear Security Administration referred questions to USACE, who did not respond to Weapons Complex Morning Briefing requests for comment by press time. Y-12 also did not respond to a request for comment.
