Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) intends to award a firm-fixed-price, sole-source contract to the Jo Carroll Depot Local Redevelopment Authority (JCDLRA) for caretaker services at the former Savanna Army Depot Activity (SADA) in Savanna, IL. This action is authorized by the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Act. Interested parties capable of meeting the requirement may submit a capability statement.
Scope of Work
The contractor will provide all program management, supervision, labor, and equipment necessary to perform non-personal caretaker services for the remaining unconveyed property at SADA. The primary objective is to maintain designated facilities at an idle status (Level III and IV) to preserve their value and ensure safety and security until the property is fully transferred. Major services include:
- Facilities and grounds maintenance for approximately 467 buildings and associated infrastructure across 3,070 acres.
- Operation and maintenance of utility systems, including electrical, water treatment and distribution, and sewage collection.
- Physical security services, including maintenance of security and fire systems, fences, and gates.
- Roads and pavement maintenance, including snow and ice removal.

Rationale for Sole Source
The JCDLRA is the formally recognized and designated Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) for the SADA property under the BRAC Law. As the entity legally designated to receive and redevelop the property, JCDLRA is uniquely positioned to provide the required caretaker services in a manner that directly supports the U.S. Army's long-term property disposal and conveyance mission. This acquisition is a direct implementation of the statutory authority provided by the BRAC Act (10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(5) as implemented by FAR 6.103-5).

However, any interested party that believes it is capable of meeting the requirement may submit a capability statement.
