RFI: Fort Wolters H Barracks

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Fort Worth District) issued a Sources‑Sought/RFI to gauge market interest for the replacement of Fort Wolters H Barracks in Mineral Wells, Texas. The project will involve the demolition of existing structures and construction of a new 40,000‑sq‑ft, 250‑person collective‑training housing facility using a progressive design‑build or design‑build‑to‑budget delivery model under an Other Transaction Authority (OTA). The solicitation seeks industry feedback on commercial construction methods, risk mitigation, and acquisition preferences; no commitment to award a contract is made at this stage. The total construction cost limitation is $26 million, with a 730‑day performance period and a required occupancy by 30 Sep 2029. • Replacement of two existing barracks with a new 40k sf, two‑story, 250‑person transient housing facility. • Project will be delivered via a two‑phase OTA design‑build process (qualification‑based selection followed by GMP negotiation or final RFP). • Fixed budget of $26 M, 730‑day performance window, and mandatory NCIC background checks for site personnel.
