Federal Office Building Number 8 is a vacant laboratory building built in 1964 that needs to be cleaned from hazardous materials (primarily asbestos, lead paint, and PCBs), and at a later time is to be converted to an office building. The Contractor must provide all management, supervision, labor, materials, supplies, and equipment (except as otherwise provided), and must plan, schedule, coordinate and assure effective performance of all construction to meet General Services Administration (GSA) and client agency requirements. The Contractor will perform the demolition and abatement in accordance with the design specifications, drawings, and the provisions of the contract. The estimated construction cost range is between $5 - 11 million. The Construction Performance Period shall not exceed 300 calendar days. Competitive formal source selection procedures will be used in accordance with FAR 15.3. The contract will be Firm Fixed Price. The "Best Value Continuum, Tradeoff Process" is the method that will be used to evaluate price and other factors specified in the solicitation, with the goal being to select the proposal that offers the best value to the Government in terms of performance, quality and pricing. The objective is to select the proposal that offers the most for the money, without necessarily basing selection on the lowest price. The Technical Evaluation Factors are: 1. EXPERIENCE . (1) The offeror must demonstrate its past organizational experience as a General Construction (GC) Contractor responsible for the demolition and abatement of at least two (2) projects, within the past five (5) years, which is comparable in nature, type, and complexity to the project in this solicitation, and meets all the following characteristics: (a) the offeror simultaneously performed abatement and demolition while disconnecting, sealing or capping mechanical, fire protection and electrical systems; and (b) The building size was not less than 150,000 gross square feet. (2) The offeror shall submit Data and/or Information for each Project (two minimum to five maximum) presented, in accordance with the RFP. 2. PAST PERFORMANCE.

Consideration includes: (1) The offeror has experience as a General Construction (GC) Contractor responsible for the demolition and abatement of at least two (2) similar projects, within the past five (5) years; (2) The offeror shall submit the following information on the two (2) minimum, up to five (5) maximum for each submitted project. Give project title, location and reference who may be contacted regarding the quality of your performance. Indicate name, title, company name, current company address, and phone number of each reference. 3. KEY PERSONNEL.

Considerations include: (1) Educational background; (2) Experience on similar projects in a position comparable to that for which they are being proposed; (3) Certification or professional registration held by the individuals proposed for key personnel positions. 4. MANAGEMENT PLAN & SCHEDULE . This factor considers the plan being proposed by the offeror to execute the work contained in the contract drawings and specifications. Considerations include: (1) Submission of a detailed logic diagram, arrow-on-arrow (minimum 200 activities), illustrating the proposed sequencing of work and clearly defining the critical path. Submittals, including shop drawings and samples and long lead time items should be indicated as separate activities; (2) Submission of a tabular schedule printout indicating, at a minimum, activity, activity duration and total float; (3) Submission of a narrative management plan describing how the offeror intends to execute the work in the field.

The General Services Administration (GSA) is committed to assuring that maximum practicable opportunity is provided to small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small business concerns to participate in the performance of this contract consistent with its efficient performance.

Consequently, an offeror, other than a small business concern, before being awarded a contract exceeding $500,000 ($1,000,000 for construction) will be required to demonstrate that its subcontracting plan represents a creative and innovative program for involving small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small business concerns as subcontractors in the performance of this contract. If selected for award, the offeror’s subcontracting plan should be ready for approval without the need to obtain additional information. The FY 2004-2005 GSA goals for subcontracting are as follows: small businesses at least 39% of total subcontracting planned; small disadvantaged businesses at least 6% of small business subcontracting planned; small women-owned businesses at least 5% of small business subcontracting planned; HUB Zone Small Business at least 3% of small business subcontracting planned; Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business at least 3% of small business subcontracting planned; and Veteran-Owned Small Business at least 5% of small business subcontracting planned.
