Description

Notice of Intent/Request for Qualifications ? No. HE703 August 29, 2003 Facility 9720-82 BWXT Y-12, L.L.C. PURPOSE: BWXT Y-12, L.L.C. (BWXT Y-12), acting under its Prime Contract No. DE-AC05-00OR22800 with the United States Department of Energy (DOE) at the Y-12 National Security Complex, is soliciting Statements of Qualification (SOQ) for the construction of a new building/facility known as, ?9720-82?, at the Y-12 National Security Complex located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The value of the facility construction is estimated to be in the range of $40 to $60 million dollars. It is the intent of BWXT Y-12 to secure a construction firm capable of performing the required construction activities for this project. This notice to solicit Statements of Qualification does not constitute an invitation for sealed bids or a request for proposal. This request is for the purpose of determining interested and qualified firms. Responses received will be evaluated to determine the shortlist of firms to receive the Request for Proposals (RFP). Technical documents for this project will contain Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information and Official Use Only information which requires special information security preparations on the part of the shortlisted firms prior to receiving the RFP. All subcontractor personnel working on this project must be United States citizens. Offerors must be able to obtain a favorable Foreign Ownership, Control, or Interest (FOCI) determination from the Government in order to be eligible for subcontract award. If you do not respond to the Request for Qualifications (RFQ), you will not be eligible for the subsequent procurement actions. The forecast for issuing the Request for Proposals is January 2004. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT & SCOPE OF WORK: The planned building footprint is approximately 450 feet by 300 feet with a height of approximately 40 feet. See Attachment 1 for artist?s rendering. The construction site is approximately 7 acres and is at the Y-12 National Security Complex. Physical access to the site will be from Tennessee State Route 95 and Bear Creek Road West. The work location does not require Q-Cleared workers, but all construction personnel must be United States citizens with assigned identification badges and vehicle passes. Construction work at the Y-12 National Security Complex requires the successful firm to become signatory to the Construction Labor Agreement with the Knoxville Building and Construction Trades Council. Work scope consists of procurement of materials and installation of the following: Site Work--Excavation and backfill for underground utilities, grading, underground and above ground utility installation, trenches, access roads, erosion control, and site restoration. Civil/Structural?Administrative offices, mechanical/electrical and storage areas consisting of seismically qualified, cast in place, reinforced concrete building foundations, walls, and columns, structural steel racks/supports, roofing, and loading docks. Architectural--Suspended ceiling, sheet rock, cubicles, lockers, restroom facilities/partitions, interior and exterior doors, scuppers, downspouts, signs, insulation, and painting.

Equipment--Installation of government and subcontractor furnished equipment including piping, electrical components, and instrumentation. Testing Support--Test, checkout, and startup support for systems, structures, and components. Quality Control/Quality Assurance--Requirements will be per DOE 414.1A. PROCUREMENT PROCESS: BWXT Y-12 intends to award an evaluated competitive firm-fixed price subcontract to the successful offeror that best meets the project?s goals and objectives. Selection will be based on best-value using a two-phased approach of a Request for Qualifications and a Request for Proposals. Phase 1 (Request for Qualifications) will request that firms respond to evaluation factors regarding Past Performance & Experience, Technical Capabilities, and Organization & Personnel Qualifications. From the responses received, BWXT Y-12 will evaluate and score the Statements of Qualification against the RFQ evaluation criteria to down-select to a shortlist of firms to receive the Request for Proposals. No pricing is to be included in Phase 1. Notices will be forwarded to offerors upon completion of the SOQ evaluations to inform them if they made the shortlist to receive the RFP. Offerors selected to receive the RFP must comply with BWXT Y-12 information security requirements prior to receiving the design documents. Phase 2 (Request for Proposals) will request that firms respond to technical evaluation factors such as, but not limited to, Project Management Plan & Business Management, Organization & Personnel, and Socioeconomic and Affirmative Action Plans and provide Pricing. The basis for award will be the firm offering the best overall value, considering price, the technical RFP submittals, and the SOQs evaluated under the Request for Qualification. Subcontract award is anticipated in September 2004, but will ultimately depend on the availability of funding.
