- Description
- Project consists of fire alarm replacement and smoke evacuation at the Thomas S. Foley U.S. Courthouse, Spokane, Washington. Work includes but is not limited to (1) selective demolition, cutting and patching, (2) replacing existing fire alarm system, and (3) hazardous materials abatement in selected areas. The existing fire alarm system and generator must remain operational during the entire construction period. The contractor is required to provide better than average collaboration of fire alarm and asbestos abatement disciplines. The Government's obligation under this contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. SELECTION PROCESS: This procurement is issued pursuant to the Small Business Competitive Demonstration Program. Award will be a firm fixed price contract and the procurement method will be a negotiated request for proposal process. The successful offeror will be the technically acceptable firm offering the lowest request for proposal price. The following criteria will be utilized as evaluation factors for award. 1. Proposed Fire Alarm System shall have been available commercially for a minimum of five years. 2. Prime contractor or subcontractor shall have demonstrated a minimum of five years successful experience incorporating the proposed Fire Alarm System. Highlight any experience with proposed Fire Alarm System. 3. Prime contractor or subcontractor shall have demonstrated five years experience in Asbestos Abatement/Remediation. Highlight any experience with Asbestos Abatement/Remediation. 4. Provide construction methodology and proposed management strategies geared strictly to asbestos abatement. 5. Provide documentation to demonstrate contractor's past performance: Offerors shall provide the following information for current contracts, or contracts completed in the past five years that are similar to the subject contract: a. Name of the Customer/Company with whom the contract was held. b. Name and Phone Number of the primary contact with Company. c. Brief description of contract. d. Contract Value (total). 6. List key personnel and organizational structure. Technical Proposals shall be evaluated on an ACCEPTABLE or NOT-ACCEPTABLE basis only. Price is considered equally important to the Technical Evaluation Factors. For those proposals which have been deemed technically acceptable, price will become the deciding factor upon which award will be made. Accordingly, award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is determined to be technically acceptable and at the lowest price. The estimated magnitude of this project is between five hundred thousand dollars and one million dollars ($500,000.00 and $1,00,000.00). The approximate duration of the contract is 240 calendar days. The NAICS code for this procurement is 236220. This procurement is UNRESTRICTED.

Small business participation: Although this procurement is open to large business, small, small women owned, small disadvantaged, Section 8(a), Service-disabled Veteran, and HUBZone small business firms are strongly encouraged to participate.
