THIS IS A PRESOLICTIATION NOTICE. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. The Kansas City District, United States Army Corp of Engineers (USCE), has a need for Design-Build construction services to construct a parking structure that will provide a minimum of 627 parking stalls over seven levels (6 stories) of parking at the John J. Cochran Veterans Hospital in St. Louis, MO. Each level of the structure will be approximately 35,650 square feet and support 1 additional level of parking which may be added in the future. The structure may be cast in place, or precast. The scope includes electrical and telecommunications rooms, elevators, site work, walk-ways, access points, wayfinding, and a parking space counting system. This acquisition is using FAR Subpart 36.3 Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures. In Phase 1 of the two-phase selection procedure, Offerors will submit performance capability proposals (past performance, management, staffing) demonstrating their capability to successfully execute design build construction work under the contract resulting from this solicitation. The Government will evaluate the Phase 1 proposals and intends to invite (down-select) a target of three most highly rated Phase 1 offerors to compete in Phase 2 for the design build construction contract. Offerors must submit a complete Phase 1 proposal to be considered for Phase 2. PHASE 1 DOES NOT INVOLVE A PRICING SUBMISSION. In Phase 2, a solicitation amendment will be issued to only the down-selected offerors from Phase 1, inviting them to submit a concept design solution and price proposals that conform to the Phase 2 submission, evaluation, and performance requirements. The Phase 1 D-B Request for Proposal will be available on the SAM.gov website, on or about 05 September 2026. Proposals will be due approximately 35 days later. A formal site visit and pre-proposal conference will be scheduled in Phase 2, with details provided for those in Phase II Request for Proposal. The magnitude of this design-build construction project is between $45,000,000.00 and $60,000,000.00. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this project is 236220-Commercial and Institutional Building Construction with a Small Business Size standard of $45,000,000.00. This solicitation is being issued as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside procurement.

Bid bond will be required with your proposal in the amount of 20% of the offeror proposed price of $3,000,000.00, whichever is less. Performance and Payment Bonds will be required for the full amount (100%) of the awarded contract before the Notice to Proceed can be issued.
