- THIS IS THE SOLICITATION NOTICE. RFP IS AVAILABLE. SEE DETAILS BELOW. NO HARDCOPIES WILL BE PROVIDED BY GSA, BUT CONTRACTORS CAN UPLOAD AN ELECTRONIC VERSION AND PRINT FROM THE UPLOAD. The project is a continuation of a four-phase program to renovate an 18-story office building. Approximately 188,000 gross square feet of the 1.2 million gross square foot building will be renovated in this project. Estimated award range is $20,000,000 to $30,000,000. Completion time is 602 calendar days after receipt of Notice to Proceed, to be issued on or about August 29, 2005. This contract is restricted and limited to only those firms having (1) meeting the minimum requirement of having worked on a similar or partially similar project ? defined as an interior office renovation or other renovation project with a comparable level of interior finishes (new construction projects will not be evaluated); (2) a hazardous materials abatement subcontractor whose on-site supervisors for this project possess the Supervisor / Missouri State Certificate for Asbestos Related Occupations and their most recent required refresher training certificate; and (3) a data wiring subcontractor whose on-site supervisor for this project has been certified by Building Industry Consulting Services International, Inc. (BICSI). This project will be limited to floors 11 through 14; miscellaneous lobby work on floors 15, 16 and 18; and stair towers on floors 11 through 18. The building will be occupied during construction; however, floors 13 and 14 will be initially vacant. The 12th floor tenant will vacate the floor and move to 14 after completion of 14th floor work, the 11th floor tenant will move to 13, the 10th floor tenant will move to 12 and the 9th floor tenant will move to 11. Above ceiling work on the 10th floor generally related to 11th floor plumbing is also required. Base Bid Work: Generally consists of general demolition, and asbestos and lead paint abatement; reconfiguration of existing shaft openings; seismic bracing of shaft walls; complete renovation of lobbies and restrooms including reconfiguration of restrooms; wood paneling, terrazzo, drywall partitions, paint and plaster, new ceramic tile walls and floors; new ceilings, lighting and above ceiling HVAC throughout the floor; and new building signage/graphics. Option Bid Work consists of: tenant improvements; egress stair improvements; dedicated computer room chilled water system; sun control; power monitoring; utility monitoring on main utilities; sub-metering; LEED; and porcelain wall tile. Phased substantial completion dates are required. Any contractor or subcontractor performing asbestos abatement shall satisfy special competencies and provide bodily injury liability insurance written on the comprehensive form of policy of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence. Such coverage must encompass liabilities arising from work with the hazardous materials involved. The Government will not indemnify against such risk. Construction work disruptive to the tenants and building operations must be completed outside of normal business hours. This is a competitive negotiated acquisition using source selection procedures. The Government intends to use the ?trade-off process? in selecting the prime contractor. The ?trade-off process? is a method of evaluating both the technical factors specified in the solicitation, the price and, at the Government?s Option, an in-person interview. For this solicitation, the goal is to select the proposal that offers the best combination of technical qualifications, price and an optional interview. The Government intends to award the contract to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and is most advantageous to the Government, with technical factors being considered more important than price. The object is to select the proposal that offers the most for the money, not necessarily to select the lowest price. Proposals will be evaluated in three stages, however technical qualifications and price proposals shall be submitted at the same time, but evaluated separately. The Request for Proposals (RFP) will be issued on or about 03-30-05. The RFP will consist of technical qualifications and a pricing proposal. Stage One, the Technical Proposal, will establish those within a competitive range. The elements that make up the technical evaluation factors, in order of importance, are (1) Past Performance of the Firm, (2) Experience and Qualifications of Key Personnel, (3) Management Plan, and (4) Sustainable Construction Materials and Methods. Proposals will first be ranked according their technical quality. Stage Two shall consist of Pricing. Offerors should submit price proposals that are acceptable without additional information, as the Government may make the final determination regarding a proposal?s acceptability based solely on the basis of the initial proposal submitted. The Government may proceed with the award of the contract without discussion. However, the Government may request additional information from offerors that it considers having a reasonable chance of being selected for contract award, and may discuss proposals with the offerors. The offeror with the highest technical rank and the lowest price will be considered the most advantageous. As proposals become more equal in their technical merits, price then becomes more important. If the selection board deems it necessary or desirable, they may invite selected firms to an in-person interview, which shall constitute Stage Three. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and provides the combination of technical qualifications, price and the interview, if held, that is the most advantageous to the Government. The Government will evaluate all proposals that meet the minimum requirements. The Request for Proposal (RFP) includes a general scope of work, completed Construction Documents, the Solicitation Provisions, the Proposal Submittal Requirements and the Evaluation Factors. In an effort to safeguard sensitive but unclassified acquisition related information, the General Services Administration is participating as a pilot agency in the Federal Technical Data Solution (FedTeDS). GSA, PBS, Property Development Division, Procurement Services Branch (6PCA), will no longer mail hardcopies of construction documents and amendments. The solicitation (specifications and drawings) and its amendments will only be available through a link in FedBizOpps (www.fedbizopps.gov) to the Federal Technical Data Solution (FEDTeDS) website. Note that registration in FedTeDS requires as a prerequisite current registration in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Vendors seeking business opportunities with the General Services Administration must first register with CCR (www.ccr.gov <http://www.ccr.gov>) and then with FedTeDS (www.fedteds.gov <http://www.fedteds.gov>). As the General Services Administration implements FEDTeDS, solicitations will continue to be available through the government-wide point of entry (www.FedBizOpps.gov) but the sensitive but unclassified acquisition related information (specifications and drawings) will only be available through links to FedTeDS. The drawings are being provided as .PDF files. Drawings can be viewed from Autodesk. Bidders are responsible for producing their own print sets for their use. Effective October 1, 2003, all government contractors must be registered in CCR prior to receiving an award. At minimum, all vendors must supply the following information: 1. Your Company's Central Contractor Registration (CCR) Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN) which you should obtain from your Company's CCR Point of Contact, 2.

No federal materials can be downloaded until you have registered under both sites. You may register with FedTeDS via the following URL https://www.fedteds.gov/. If you have not used the site previously, please go to "Register with FedTeDs" and read the Vendor User Guide. The official planholders list will be based on only those requesting specifications through FedTeDS. Effective January 1, 2005, Representations and Certifications (required to be completed prior to proposal submission) must be completed online. To prepare for this requirement and to register in Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA), you will need to have two items: an active CCR record and a Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN) identified in that CCR record. Your DUNS number and MPIN act as your company?s ID and password into ORCA. (Visit www.ccr.gov for more information on creating and entering your MPIN). The basic information provided in your CCR record is used to pre-populate a number of fields in ORCA. You must complete the ORCA PRIOR to date and time of receipt of proposals for this project to be considered responsive to this solicitation.
