Purpose and Project Estimate: (a) Purpose: The purpose of this solicitation is to procure commercial construction services for the Renovation of Common Areas at the Single Soldier Unaccompanied Personnel Housing (UPH), Building 209, Fort Hamilton, NY, in support of the U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hamilton. The Contractor shall provide all plant, labor, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and transportation to accomplish the work described in the Statement of Work (SOW) DPW00004-6J. (b) Project Estimate: For strategic planning and bonding capacity verification, the estimated price range for this project is between $100,000 and $250,000. 2. Contract Type, Period of Performance, and Administration Sequence: (a) Contract Type: The Government intends to award a single, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Purchase Order. (b) Period of Performance Definition: To establish a measurable and defensible timeline, the term "90 working days after the Pre-Construction meeting" as stated in Section 5 of the SOW is contractually defined as exactly 120 calendar days from receipt of the Notice to Proceed (NTP). This conversion provides a clear calendar baseline for contractor planning and project scheduling.
