- Description
- The Eastern Facilities Service Office of the U S Postal Service is seeking Qualification Statements from construction companies wishing to be Prequalified for award of a Fixed Price Contract for design-build construction at the USPS Suburban Processing and Distribution Center in Gaithersburg, MD. The Scope of Work includes upgrading existing central cooling plant and electric service in a stepped phased schedule. The existing cooling plant will be removed in its entirety when the new chiller plant consisting of two 500-ton exterior air-cooled chillers with 480-ton rated capacity is ready for changeover and operation to satisfy a requirement of 986-ton block peak load. The existing Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) system will be replaced with Energy Management Control System (EMCS); a BACnet compliant Direct Digital Control (DDC) System that incorporates electronic microprocessor controls. A new double-ended indoor unit substation will be provided with 2 - 1500KVA transformers. Consideration shall be given to require less complex construction phasing and to keep the existing cooling plant operational as long as possible during construction. All sizes described are approximate; exact sizes will be denoted on plans and specifications to be issued with the request for proposal. Drawings and specifications will be provided by USPS defining the Scope of Work. Total period of the project will be 540 calendar days. Estimated cost range is between $6,000,000 and $8,000,000. Only the most qualified contractors will be prequalified. To be considered for Prequalification: the company must be financially capable; have five (5) years experience as a construction company with design-build experience, and the completion or ongoing of two (2) comparable projects within the past five (5) years, one of which must be a design-build construction project for USPS or a government agency. Comparable projects are defined as "Design-build construction work of mechanical systems for USPS or other government installations, carried out in phases while keeping the existing facilities' operations least impacted during construction. The scope includes associated electrical systems work and incidental structural and architectural work with the total construction cost ranging from $6M to $8M". The contractors Qualification Statement will be evaluated in accordance with the following criteria listed in order of importance: EXPERIENCE/PERFORMANCE and CAPABILITIES: Organization, Safety, Backlog, Financial Capability, Bonding, and Banking. The Postal Service intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to prequalified firms only. The Postal Service will select the offeror that provides the Best Value to the Postal Service. Qualification Statement packages are available now and may be obtained by sending a written request to USPS Eastern Facilities Services Office, P. O. Box 27497, Greensboro, NC 27498-1103, Attn: Mickie Burton. An electronic version of the Qualification Statement may be requested via e-mail by contacting Mickie Burton at mickie.e.burton@usps.gov. Prequalification statements are due by Monday June 7, 2004 at 3:00 PM EST. The completed Qualification Statement should be delivered via one of the many services provided by the Postal Service or hand delivered to USPS Eastern Facilities Services Office, 7029 Albert Pick Road, Suite 300, Greensboro, NC 27409, Attn: Mickie Burton.
