- Description
- Document Security for Sensitive but Unclassified Paper and Electronic Building Information RECOVERY. The General Services Administration (GSA) announces an opportunity for public construction and is soliciting written expressions of interest from qualified general contractors desiring to compete in the procurement process for the referenced project. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this procurement is 236220. The size standard is $33.5 million per year. This is an unrestricted procurement open to all large and small business concerns. All firms shall submit a one page letter of interest on company letter head. This letter shall include a statement of interest, number of personnel that will attend the Pre-proposal conference and a signed Document Security Certification (uploaded on FedBizOpps) with a copy of a valid business license. Letters and certification are due to the office of the Contract Specialist no later than April 20, 2009. Send documentation to the attention of Marsha Tyson, Contract Specialist, General Services Administration (GSA), (7PMA), Room 12B01, 819 Taylor St., Fort Worth, Texas 76102 or marsha.tyson@gsa.gov. GSA retains the right to publish and distribute the list of offerors to other interested parties (i.e., subcontractors, etc.). The Estimated Construction Cost at Award for the project is $40,000,000 to $50,000,000. Funds allocated via www.recovery.gov reflect funds for the entire project and not just construction. Contractors should price according to the construction specifications. The Request for Proposal (RFP) is scheduled to be issued on or about April 27, 2009 via FedTeds (https://www.fedteds.gov/). Firms must send the letter of intent with the security certification to gain access to the documents. A Site Visit and Pre-Proposal Conference is tentatively scheduled to be held May 6 - 7, 2009 in San Antonio, Texas to answer questions that offerors may have concerning the project, specifications, drawings and technical evaluation criteria. Attendance at the Pre-proposal conference and site visit is not mandatory. GSA intends to contract for complete construction services with the construction contractor that offers the best overall value to the Government by demonstrating a commitment to construction excellence, by providing and maintaining a viable team organization and by adherence to the budgetary and time parameters for this project. The project for this building will include replacing the HVAC system to improve energy efficiency, modernize the building electrical and fire protection systems, including the construction of a new exterior fire stair, construct new space finishes for several tenants prior to move-in, and alter interior spaces for existing tenants and renovate public spaces with focus on historic preservation, handicap access, and upgrades to the elevators and building security systems. Additional project work will consist of extensive restroom plumbing, refurbishing of the limestone exterior, and re-roofing. The project is designed to comply with a Certification Level according to the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED), Silver Level Rating System. The offeror selected shall be required to supply all labor, materials, equipment and supervision to perform the complete services as required by the Scope of Work under the resultant contract. The contractor will be chosen competitively utilizing FAR Part 15 Source Selection procedures in conjunction with the Best Value/Trade-off process. Based on the complexity and importance of this project, the Government deems it to be in its best interest to consider award to other than the lowest priced offeror. Therefore, combined technical evaluation factors will be significantly more important than cost or price. The final price will encompass all-inclusive costs for the entire construction project including the administrative cost of processing change orders throughout the course of this project. The Government anticipates the award of a Firm Fixed-Price Contract (see FAR Part 16.202), based on a final negotiated or accepted price, to the contractor that offers the best overall value to the Government. Any scope changes by the Government that result from the pre-proposal conference or any other discussions may be incorporated into the Scope of Work at any time prior to the final request for price proposal submission at no recompense to the offeror(s). The technical factors are tentatively as follows: (#1) Past Performance and Experience on Similar Historical Projects; (#2) Experience and Qualifications of Key Personnel; and (#3) Detailed Management Plan and Technical Approach. Proposals will be due on or about June 2, 2009. All questions/clarifications regarding the project documents (drawings, specifications, procedures, etc.) shall be put in writing and submitted to the Contract Specialist no later than close of business May 18, 2009. Production costs and proposal preparation costs are at the expense of the offeror. This procurement is being made under the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program (FAR 52.219-19). This procurement is open to small and large business concerns. Before award of the contract, the business concern (if not a small business concern) shall be required to present an acceptable Small Business and Small Disadvantaged Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with Public Law 95-507. Small, women-owned, service disabled veteran owned and small disadvantaged firms are strongly encouraged to participate as prime contractors or as members of joint ventures with other small businesses. All interested large business firms are reminded that the successful firm will be expected to place subcontracts to the maximum practical extent with small and disadvantaged firms as indicated FAR 19.702. The Subcontracting Goals established for this project are as follows: Total Small Business 36%; Total Small Disadvantaged Business 8%; Woman Owned 5%; HUBZone Business 3%; and Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business 3%. All correspondence in response to this announcement must clearly indicate the Solicitation Number GS-07P-09-HH-C-0063. This project is being funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for 2009. THERE IS REASONABLE CERTAINTY THAT FUNDS WILL BE AVAILABLE.
