FY28 Frequency Converter Plant, Yokohama North Dock

Description

See attachment for full Market Questionnaire. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is exploring the use of alternative acquisition strategies like Progressive Design Build and Integrated Design and Construction for the upcoming electrical substation project at Yokohama North Dock. Because these contracting method differ from traditional U.S. Government Fixed-Price Design-Build contracts, this summary is provided to explain the different framework, how risks are shared, and how the contractor and Government will collaborate as well as to determine local industry interest in these new methods. What is Progressive Design-Build (PDB)? PDB is a highly collaborative project delivery method. Unlike traditional Design-Build where contractors must submit a final construction proposal based on an incomplete preliminary design, PDB selects a contractor based primarily on their qualifications, past performance, and expertise, rather than a final price. What is Integrated Design & Construction (IDAC)? The Integrated Design and Construction (IDAC) acquisition strategy represents a highly collaborative, two-phase procurement method designed to mitigate risks, compress timelines, and control costs on complex military and civil works construction projects. The intent is to competitively select the construction contractor early in the design cycle. This allows the construction contractor to provide real-time constructability reviews, cost estimations, and market supply-chain analysis while the Designer of Record (DOR) finalizes the design. For both methods, once the contractor is selected, the U.S. Government and the Contractor work together as a team to collaboratively/progressively develop the design, schedule, and cost. This market survey is intended for local sources only. Local sources are those sources physically located and licensed to conduct business in Japan.
