FA8501-27-RAPID-CIRCUIT F1-170129-OTA Under the RAPID Umbrella Framework: RAPID Progressive Design-Build to Replace Circuit F-01 from Fowler Substation UHHZ170129 Description The Department of the Air Force, 78th Civil Engineer Group, Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, is issuing this Special Notice under the Robins Agile Practices for Infrastructure Development (RAPID) umbrella framework and pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2808a. The Government seeks industry Solution Briefs for an anticipated Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) to Replace Circuit F-01 from Fowler Substation at Robins AFB, GA. The requirement includes replacement of all 15kV, 500MCM cable throughout circuit F-01. This will include replacement and removal all broken breakers or bad cable racks, install new bell ends on conduits, and pump water/dirt from manholes. This Special Notice is not an invitation for bids, a request for proposals under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, nor a commitment by the Government to make an award. Any resulting instrument will be an OTA for facility construction and repair under 10 U.S.C. 2808a. Purpose The purpose of this Area of Interest is to obtain commercially viable, safe, and schedule-credible solutions to design plans for and to perform the replacement of expired high-risk Circuit F01 cabling in order to prevent operational risk, mission delays, and compounding economic costs due to infrastructure failure at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. The Government requires an integrated approach to address the design, removal of deteriorated cables and replacement with new cable in The Fowler Substation. The selected approach must provide a practical path to execute the work while minimizing disruption to aircraft operations and controlling construction, safety, environmental, and schedule risks. Project Background and Existing Conditions Circuit F-01 has surpassed its operational lifecycle, creating a high-probability risk for catastrophic failure. If the remaining aged portion is n
