Description

The General Services Administration announces an opportunity for Construction Excellence in Public Buildings. The following document describes the procurement for Construction Manager As Constructor (CMc) services for the proposed adaptive reuse of Building 7 of the GSA Campus, Auburn, Washington, from existing warehouse space into office space. DEFINITION OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AS CONSTRUCTOR: The General Services Administration (GSA) defines a CMc as a firm that contracts directly with a building owner, here, GSA, to provide pre-construction services as well as general construction and construction management services. The CMc will be a member of the project development team during the design and construction phases, working with GSA, GSA's selected A-E firm, and other GSA consultants. The scope of CMc services under this proposed contract includes Pre-construction Phase Services and various options for Construction Phase Services, which are described below. The CMc will be competitively chosen using Advisory Multi-step (FAR 15.202), and Source Selection (FAR 15.3) procedures. Stage 1 of the process will be a Request for Qualifications, under which the Government will evaluate experience and past performance and advise offerors of their competitive viability. The Government will evaluate Stage 1 submissions to establish a Voluntary Short List (those firms considered to have a reasonable chance of being selected for award). Firms on the Voluntary Short List will be invited by the Government to participate in Oral presentations, followed by stage 2 submissions. Stage 2 submissions will consist of a conceptual estimate and pricing for Pre-construction phase services, and any other requirements stated in detail in the RFP. For those within the competitive range, the Government may enter into discussions before soliciting Final Price Revisions. However the Government reserves the right to award the contract without discussions. Contract Award: A fixed price contract will be awarded to the selected firm to provide Preconstruction Phase services. The price for Construction Phase services will be negotiated at a later date and should result in a fixed price award fee contract. Stage 2, Request for Proposals, which will solicit price proposals, and additional technical evaluation factors. For this contract, technical factors, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price (see FAR 15.101-1 trade offs). PROJECT SUMMARY: The project scope includes conversion of approximately 120,000 gross square feet of warehouse space to office space. The project includes demolition, base building construction, tenant fit-out, and site work. The building tenant will be the Social Security Administration (SSA) Teleservice Center. The estimated range for construction cost, including tenant fit out is $10,000,000 to $20,000,000. Occupancy is anticipated by January 2007. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED: The CMc will provide professional, technical, administrative and clerical personnel, as needed, to perform all required services to renovate the building, including, but not limited to, those described in this presolicitation notice. The services requested of the CMc shall cover a wide range of design and construction activities, which are often performed by both Construction Managers (CMs) and General Contractors (GCs). The CMc must maintain a team with the expertise and capability to manage and coordinate the timely and orderly development and construction of the proposed project. The CMc will be required to assign, as needed, a team consisting of architectural, civil, structural, mechanical and electrical reviewers; cost estimators; CPM analysts; field engineers; field support staff; construction supervisors; construction superintendents; testing engineers/technicians; and other disciplines. Pre-construction Phase Services shall include, but are not limited to, review and evaluation of the concept, design development and construction document submissions for constructibility, value engineering suggestions, identification of any problems or errors in the design and design documentation, consultation during construction document production, preliminary project schedule development, primary cost estimates during design development and construction documents, and development of subcontractor and supplier interest. Construction Phase Services shall include, but are not limited to, renovation and conversion of the building in accordance with the specifications, administration of the construction contract and all subcontracts, coordination of regular construction meetings, CPM scheduling, maintaining of construction records including daily logs and monthly reports, monitoring of construction costs, "commissioning" and turnover to designated facility management staff, and other required supplemental services as requested by GSA. During contract performance, the CMc shall provide GSA with sound management advice regarding the approach to the project, means to achieve the best value in performance, necessary actions, schedule control, alternative ideas, problem/claim prevention, and budgeting. The CMc shall have a full understanding of the project, its contract documents, and the principles of Federal construction contracting and contract administration. Most importantly, the CMc shall have complete responsibility for renovation and conversion of the facility. SB - SDB Participation: Although this procurement is open to large business, small and minority-owned firms are strongly encouraged to participate. The Government recognizes the talent existing in smaller firms and encourages their participation in the construction of Federal facilities. Short-listed firms shall provide a brief written narrative of their outreach efforts to utilize small disadvantaged and small women-owned businesses on this project. An acceptable Subcontracting Plan shall be agreed upon prior to contract award to any large business. Large businesses shall be required to demonstrate a proactive effort to achieve participation goals. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Proposals will be evaluated using a two-stage, Advisory Multi-Step process (FAR 15.202). Under Stage I of the Request for Proposal (RFP), #GS-10P-03-LTC-0074, offerors must submit information regarding qualifications, past experience, past performance, personnel, and resources. Submissions shall clearly address the rating factors identified in the RFP. All responses will be evaluated in accordance with the criteria outlined in the Stage I RFP. After evaluation, all offerors will be notified in writing of their potentials as viable competitors and whether they will be invited to participate in Stage II of the selection process. Notwithstanding the advice provided by the Government in response to the submissions, offerors may participate in the Stage II process. The Government reserves the right to make an award based on Stage II proposals without holding discussions. How to Offer: Detailed instructions for submission and format requirements are provided in Part 2- Proposal Submission Requirements of RFP# GS-10P-03-LTC-0074. The RFP is posted at www.eps.gov.
