1. This notice of intent announcement is to:

A. To notify potential Offerors of the Governments intent to modify contract W912DS23C0025, Lincoln Hall Renovation, Bldg. 607, to include installation of all interior communication work. B. Notification of the Army’s intent to modify the construction contract as described below.

(1) Communication system installation (estimated cost = $775,000) The requirement is to award a modification to the construction contract to include all work associated with installation of interior telecommunication lines including voice, data and WREN in support of the Lincoln Hall renovation.

The work associated with installation of the interior passive backbone and horizontal fiber and copper cables, patch panels, jacks, faceplates, testing and labeling associated with the Lincoln Hall Renovation project plans and specifications. The Government intends to award this work as a construction modification to the contract W912DS23C0025 contractor.

A modification to the existing Lincoln Hall contract is the beneficial to the government because the Lincoln Hall contractor is familiar with the Lincoln Hall repair contract. The existing construction contract includes details on telecommunication work including room layouts and termination locations. The Lincoln Hall contractor currently has supervisors and administrative staff onsite overseeing other ongoing work as well as a dedicated laydown areas established within the work area.

Awarding this work to a new contractor would be cost prohibitive to the government because a separate contractor would be required to coordinate with an active construction project and within an active constriction site, as well as provide additional overhead and storage/laydown costs.
