BOWLING CENTER AND F&B UPGRADES

The Department of the Navy, through the Commander Navy Installations Command, is seeking proposals for the renovation and modernization of an eight-lane bowling center and food and beverage operation at NAF El Centro, California. This design-build project covers site investigation, architectural and engineering design, and construction to deliver a complete facility. Specific requirements include replacing existing pinsetter units with string bowling technology, creating an electronic gaming area, and upgrading food service operations. The solicitation, NAVMWR-26-R-0038, has a response deadline of June 16, 2026. As a Non-Appropriated Fund (NAF) project, it follows specific Navy NAF regulations rather than the standard Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The project budget is approximately $2.3 million. The contractor will manage all phases from initial site surveys and utility locates to final equipment installation. The solicitation package includes the base document and two amendments. These establish mandatory design-build phases at 50%, 95%, and 100% completion. Amendment 0002 incorporates pre-proposal conference minutes, clarifies USBC compliance, and allows for 'or equal' substitutes for specialized bowling hardware.
