- Description
- GSA?s Southeast Sunbelt Region announces a contracting opportunity for agency construction management (CMa) services in connection with the design and construction of a proposed twenty-five to thirty million dollar (hard construction cost) project in the Fairlie Poplar Historic District of downtown Atlanta, GA. The proposed project is an annex to the existing Elbert P. Tuttle United States Court of Appeals Building (Tuttle Building Annex). The 120,000 gsf project is the adaptive use of two existing historic, five story buildings with basements, new construction of a loading dock and tunnel connection to the existing Tuttle Building for administrative office space for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. The project is being delivered using the design-build ?bridging? methodology. The "bridging" architect-engineer is Stevens & Wilkinson Stang & Newdow of Atlanta, GA. A contract for abatement and demolition based on complete construction documents is scheduled for award to an 8(a) certified firm in Sept 2006. This CMa contract is scheduled for award about Oct 2006. The bridging design is scheduled for completion in mid-Jan 2007. A separate design-build contract based on approx. 35% complete contract (bridging) documents is scheduled for award in May 2007. The design documents for the project are being produced using Revit v9.0 and Constructware is the ePM collaboration tool. Scope of Work CMa services under this contract will generally include design management, construction management, and building commissioning services. The CMa through a multi-disciplinary team shall assist GSA in performing design reviews using Dr. Checks of the final design intent documents by the Bridging A/E and the production of construction documents by the Design Build contractor?s A/E (Architect of Record). The CMa shall assist GSA in managing and administering the contracts for construction with the abatement/demolition contractor and with the Design Build contractor for all other work. The CMa shall perform Building Commissioning services to verify and document that the performance of the facility and its various systems meet the design intent as well as the functional and operational needs of the building owner and the occupants of the building. There may also be a contract option for the CMa to provide post-construction services consisting of move planning related services for the occupants of the building. The CMa will be required to staff an office at the job site during the construction phase of the project. Selection Process This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to firms interested in competing either as prime or as consultant to the prime for the contract for these services. This is not a request for proposals. All services shall be performed under the direction and supervision of professional licensed architects and/or engineers. All offerors will initially be ranked based on technical qualifications for this particular project and the evaluation criteria listed and described herein. A shortlist of at least three offerors will be established and the short-listed offerors invited to present their qualifications and submit to interview questions. GSA will then rank the short-listed offerors in order of technical qualification. GSA will then enter into fee negotiations with the offeror ranked as the most technically qualified for this project. Assuming that agreement can be reached on a fair and reasonable fee with the top ranked offeror, GSA will enter into a contract with that offeror. If agreement cannot be reached on a fair and reasonable fee, GSA will terminate negotiations with the top ranked offeror and enter into negotiations with the second most highly qualified offeror.
