Hawthorne Army Depot New Bomb Request for Information

The Army Contracting Command - Rock Island, on behalf of Headquarters, Joint Munitions Command is issuing a request for information notice to identify capable sources for two stormwater detention pond projects at Hawthorne Army Depot (HWAD) in Hawthorne, NV. The first project includes clean-up/rehabilitation of the stormwater dry detention ponds. The second project includes design and construction of stormwater detention ponds.

REQUIREMENT DESCRIPTION: Project one requires rehabilitation of storm water controls at the New Bomb open burn/open detonation demilitarization site. The requirement will include clearance of material from storm water detention ponds resulting from a flood event in accordance with the attached statement of work titled New Bomb Stormwater Detention Basins and Channel Clean-Up SOW. The potential for unexploded ordnance exists and must be considered in the cleanup of collected silt in stormwater detention ponds and spillways.

Project two requires the design and construction of storm water controls capable of withstanding a 500-year flood event and contain a 100-year event in accordance with the attached statement of work titled New Bomb Design and Build SOW.

The intent is for project one and the design part of project two to be completed concurrently with the construction part of project two to begin immediately after to avoid double movement of material and equipment as much as possible. Nearby storage location for transient materials is available, and aggregate can be stored on site for later reuse in construction of ponds and spillways.

RESPONSES: Interested vendors are invited to indicate their interest by providing the U.S. Government with the following information no later than 0900 central on 14 October 2025:

1. Provide a brief summary of the company’s capabilities (a description of the facilities, equipment, personnel experience, quality system, and past/current relevant experience). Any potential key subcontractors shall also be addressed, by indicating which key tasks or processes would be subcontracted and provide a brief summary of potential key subcontractors.
2. Discuss the feasibility of the period of performance for tasks in each SOW. Does the contractor have the ability to accelerate the timeline? Can they be accelerated? Can any of this work be completed concurrently to create timeline efficiencies?
3. Provide a Rough Order of Magnitude for each SOW. List all assumptions and basis of estimate.
4. Discuss the advantages/disadvantages to the U.S. Government regarding the award of these two projects together to one contractor versus competing them separately.
5. Discuss preferred contract type to include advantages to the U.S. Government and mitigation of risk.
