NAVFAC will use a “two-phase” selection process for each package. Phase one responses for Packages 1, 2 and 4 were due Nov. 8, with announcement of “down-select” to three contractors expected in December or January. Packages 3 and 7 are in “pre-solicitation,” with packages 5 and 6 expected soon – with responses due in December and “down-select” announcements in January.
The NCMBC will partner with Carolinas AGC to inform members about the status of these solicitations through direct email and www.ncmbc.us, and to host consolidated “teaming forums” for the three contractors selected to proceed to Phase 2 for each package.
“CAGC and the NCMBC encourage all general and specialty contractors, designers and suppliers to monitor these opportunities, to engage in teaming events and to actively partner with contractors the Navy selects to execute this $1.7 billion in work at North Carolina bases,” the statement says.
