STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVE

PDB via Other Transactional Authority

01005

1. PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND

1.1. The objective of this OTA is to execute a Progressive Design-Build (PDB) project to provide all design, engineering, labor, material, plant, equipment, supplies, and coordination required to Replace Circuit F-01 from Fowler Substation at Robins AFB, GA. All A&E, engineering, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work required must be accomplished by personnel and/or businesses with active licenses in the State of Georgia. 1.2. Background: Circuit F-01 has surpassed its operational lifecycle, creating a high-probability risk for catastrophic failure. If the remaining aged portion is not replaced, the installation faces escalating operational risk, mission delays, and compounding economic costs due to infrastructure failure and emergency repair premiums. The work area is slightly congested and impacted by various airfield operations. The Fowler Substation Circuit F-01 will remain in full operation during the entire duration of the project by back feeding with circuit ties. The Design-Builder must have a minimum of five (5) years of experience working on related construction projects.
1.3. OTA & RAPID Framework Approach: This project is being executed as an Area of Interest (AOI) under the overarching RAPID (Robins Agile Practices for Infrastructure Development) Umbrella Program Notice. In accordance with the RAPID framework, this project utilizes a Progressive Design Build execution approach under the standalone statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. § 2808a. This effort utilizes a two-phased PDB approach to foster collaboration, innovation, and efficiency: •
•

Phase 1 (Preconstruction & Collaborative Design): Collaborative design development, site surveys, risk mitigation planning, and establishment of an open-book Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). Phase 2 (Final Design & Construction Execution): Completion of final design and full construction execution (exercised upon agreement).

2. EVALUATION AND SELECTION CRITERIA

2.1. Overview

The Government will utilize a two-step, Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) process mapped to the RAPID framework to select the Design-Builder. In accordance with PDB methodology, price will not be evaluated during the initial selection process. Selection is based strictly on qualifications, experience, and collaborative capabilities:
•
•

Step 1 (RAPID Phase 1 Equivalent): Evaluation of written Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) /
