Pre-engineered and prefabricated buildings ordering guide

Purpose

The purpose of this page is to create a comprehensive ordering guide that assists ordering agencies, particularly contracting officers, to effectively use the Multiple Award Schedule to purchase total solutions for pre-engineered/prefabricated buildings. This ordering guide is not a stand-alone reference — it is recommended that you also become familiar with the MAS Desk Reference Guide and Federal Acquisition Regulation 8.4 Federal Supply Schedules. This Ordering Guide may be revised from time to time.

What are pre-engineered/prefabricated buildings?

The most widely used form of prefabrication in building and civil engineering is the use of prefabricated concrete and prefabricated steel sections in structures where a particular part or form is repeated many times. Modular Construction can be considered a form of Prefabricated Construction.

Precast is a construction product (mostly concrete) produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold or “form” which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and lifted into place. In contrast, standard concrete is poured into site-specific forms and cured on site.

Prefabrication is the practice of assembling components of a structure in a factory or other manufacturing site, and transporting complete assemblies or sub-assemblies to the construction site where the structure is to be located. The term is used to distinguish this process from the more conventional construction practice of transporting the basic materials to the construction site where all assembly is carried out.

The term prefabrication also applies to the manufacturing of things other than structures at a fixed site. It is frequently used when fabrication of a section of a machine or any movable structure is shifted from the main manufacturing site to another location, and the section is supplied assembled and ready to fit. It is not generally used to refer to electrical or electronic components of a machine, or mechanical parts such as pumps, gearboxes and compressors which are usually supplied as separate items, but to sections of the body of the machine which in the past were fabricated with the whole machine. Prefabricated parts of the body of the machine may be called ‘sub-assemblies’ to distinguish them from the other components.

The most widely used form of prefabrication in building and civil engineering is the use of prefabricated concrete and prefabricated steel sections in structures where a particular part or form is repeated many times. It can be difficult to construct the formwork required to mold concrete components on site, and delivering wet concrete to the site before it starts to set requires precise time management. Pouring concrete sections in a factory brings the advantages of being able to re-use moulds and the concrete can be mixed on the spot without having to be transported to and pumped wet on a congested construction site. Prefabricating steel sections reduces on-site cutting and welding costs as well as the associated hazards.

Pre-engineering is the practice of designing a building and compiling materials to be assembled onsite. It removes the need for a contractor to source materials from multiple suppliers, as the materials will arrive onsite as a package with a plan set explaining assembly, similar to a child’s building block kit. An important difference to note is that the pre-engineered building requires on-site construction.

Benefits of pre-engineered/modular buildings compared to conventional construction

Modular vs. conventional construction:

A modular building is a pre-engineered structure that is flexible enough to satisfy virtually any requirement. It is usually tougher than standard drywall construction as well as its ability to be expanded, relocated, reusable, and recyclable. The primary advantage of modular/pre-engineered buildings over conventional construction is that they can save up to 35% on initial construction costs such as labor and materials.

Applications:

Office buildings, training centers, aircraft structures, schools, hangers, dormitories, dining facilities, temporary office space, restrooms, guard shacks, border stations, restrooms, mezzanines, and much more.

The chart details some benefits of pre-engineered modular buildings:

GreenerFasterSmarter
The factory-controlled process generates less waste, creates fewer site disturbances and allows for tighter construction.Construction of modular buildings occurs simultaneously with site work, allowing projects to be completed in half the time of traditional construction.Modular buildings are built with the same materials and to the same building codes and architectural specifications as traditional construction. Once assembled, they are virtually indistinguishable from their site-built counterparts.
Less site disturbance
On-site traffic is greatly minimized from workers, equipment and suppliers.
Reduced construction schedule
Because construction of modular buildings can occur simultaneously with the site and foundation work, projects can be completed 30% to 50% sooner than traditional construction.
Safer construction
The indoor construction environment reduces the risks of accidents and related liabilities for workers.
Greater flexibility and reuse
Modular buildings can be disassembled and the modules relocated or refurbished for new use, reducing the demand for raw materials and minimizing the amount of energy expended to create a building to meet the new need.
Elimination of weather delays
60 - 90% of the construction is completed inside a factory, which mitigates the risk of weather delays. Buildings are occupied sooner, creating a faster return on investment.
Better engineered building and Building Information Modeling
PMC relies on advanced BIM for visualization to assess the energy performance and identify the most cost-effective efficiency measures. PMC is ideal for the use of this technology where the construction process is already a collaboration of systems, materials and people—much like the software itself.
Less material waste
When building in a factory, waste is eliminated by recycling materials, controlling inventory and protecting building materials.
Built to code with quality materials
Modular buildings are built to meet or exceed the same building codes and standards as site-built structures, and the same architect-specified materials used in conventionally constructed buildings are used in modular construction projects – wood, concrete and steel.
Limitless design opportunities
Modular units may be designed to fit in with external aesthetics of any existing building and modular units, once assembled, are virtually indistinguishable from their site-built counterparts.
Improved air quality
Because the modular structure is substantially completed in a factory-controlled setting using dry materials, the potential for high levels of moisture being trapped in the new construction is eliminated.

  4. Are any of the prefabs made with sustainable materials? If so, what? If not, is there any future vision in the industry to create sustainable prefabs?

    ‘Sustainable’ doesn’t have a definite definition. We have some vendors that have buildings made from scrap metal. Ongoing initiative to get sustainable…

  5. Are any of the prefabs LEED certified?

    No buildings are LEED certified at this time

  6. Are sidewalks and utilities required to complete a project covered under any ancillary services SINS or categories?

    Sidewalks fall under SIN 238910, installation and site preparation requiring construction. Utility hook up is within the scope of SIN 238910; the requirement for utility hook up is determined by the customer.

  7. What services (minor construction, ancillary repair) are included in the procurement of the prefab building?

    Any services beyond delivery of the building are not covered under the building SIN. Services must be solicited and quoted under the applicable services SIN. The applicable SIN is determined by the extent of services required to provide a turnkey solution.

  8. What types of services are excluded when hooking up a prefab building to the utilities?

    Any non-standard electrical requirement within the building.

  9. What is included in the building itself?

    Standard and optional items vary by contract, dependent on the standard and optional items offered by the contractor. Non-contract items may can be included in a procurement as open market items. However, open market items are subject to formal price evaluation procedures.

  10. How do you define “Construction”, “Ancillary Repair & Alteration”, and “Minor Construction?”

    Complex construction is not approved under GSA MAS contracts.

    Facilities Structures includes commercial products that may require services in conjunction with the purchase of the product.

    There are three basic types of services available:

    • ANCILLARY SIN Ancillary Service for functions such as set up, simple installation, and training. (Excludes construction and services subject to the Service Contract Act)
    • ANCRA SIN Ancillary Repair and Alteration requiring minor construction (includes Davis Bacon and construction clauses)
    • SIN 238910 Installation and Site Preparation requiring Construction, which is necessary, to install a Pre-Engineered or Prefabricated Building or Structure, (includes Davis Bacon and Construction Clauses).

    Ancillary Repair and Alteration SINs are available in conjunction with purchase of products that require minor construction to be installed properly, such as minor construction necessary to install a door or window, repair drywall, or paint a room. SIN categories are also available to provide installation and site prep requiring construction, services ordered in conjunction with purchase of products to be installed under the Schedule contract—a prefabricated building, solar energy system, roofing, generator, transformer, and more. Davis Bacon and Construction Clauses are incorporated into Facilities Structures contracts offering installation and site preparation requiring construction and R&A. We negotiates fixed rates for services (rates include consideration of prevailing Davis Bacon wage rates). The applicable Davis Bacon wage determination is incorporated at the task order level, when place of performance has been determined.

  11. Does the schedule include furniture, bathroom fixtures, and kitchenettes?

    Contracts usually do not include furniture. However, it is routine to include optional bathroom fixtures or kitchenettes depending on the building and contractor. A teaming arrangement may be necessary to furnish the building or structure.

  12. What preconditions are required at the proposed site? This would include water and sewer lines, electric and gas connections, and more.

    These utilities must be available at the site.

  13. If extensive site preparation is required, is this covered under the schedule?

    Site prep is covered under the installation and site preparation SINs, which cover specific products categories:

  14. SIN 238910 Site preparation is limited to the immediate location of the installation, such as leveling and clearing ground, pouring a cement pad, etc.
  15. Is the foundation part of the schedule?

    Yes, a foundation is included under installation and site preparation requiring construction SIN 238910.

  16. Since foundations are necessary, is this considered ancillary?

    A foundation is considered under installation and site preparation.

  17. Are there limits on site preparation costs?

    No, any cost/price decision is determined by the customer. GSA MAS contracts do not include a limitation at the contract or order level.

  18. Are there options for leasing?

    Yes, SIN 532490P Lease/Rental of Pre-Engineered/Prefabricated Buildings and Structures. This includes portable/mobile office buildings, restroom facilities, and temporary living quarters such as mobile homes and tension fabric structures.

Sample statement of objectives and statement of work

When writing a Statement of Objective or Statement of Work, when possible state the purpose, rather than the specific detail. This will allow the contractor to propose based on the materials they would use, rather than the materials necessary to complete the project. This can result in lower pricing. If a specific detail is required, then list.

Statement of objectives

Title: Secure Temporary Office Modular Project

1.0 Purpose. This Statement of Objectives describes the basic objectives for the completion of a Secure Temporary Office Modular Project. The Statement of Objectives is provided in lieu of a Government written Statement of Work. This approach provides potential offerors the flexibility to develop cost effective solutions and the opportunity to assess the offeror’s understanding of all aspects of the effort to be performed by eliminating the “how to” instructions to accomplish the required effort normally contained on the SOW the government provides to prospective offerors. Teaming (teaming arrangement) with other schedule holders may be necessary to complete your proposal.
