RECOVERY: PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE FOR CONSTRUCTION EXCELLENCE FOR THE Dr. A.H. MCCOY FEDERAL BUILDING, JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, SOLICITATION NO. GS-04P-09-EX-C-0076. The Real Estate, Design and Construction Organization in the Southeast Sunbelt Region of Public Buildings Services of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is presently soliciting proposals from qualified Offerors desiring to compete in the procurement process for the subject construction project. This project is funded from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA.) This procurement is advertised on an unrestricted basis. The project delivery method being used is the Construction Manager as-Constructor (herein referred to as CMc). The contract type is Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc)Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). A Construction Manager as-Constructor provides Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Work. GSA intends to contract for Design Phase Services with an option for Construction Phase Work for a major modernization of the Dr. A. H. McCoy Federal Building in Jackson, Mississippi, with the CMc that offers the best overall value to the Government. Design Phase Services are expected to commence upon award of the contract on or about August 2009. The Optional Construction Phase Work is anticipated to be exercised on or about March 2010 with an anticipated performance period of 900 calendar days. The Dr. A.H. McCoy Federal Building is located at 100 West Capital, Street in Jackson, Mississippi, on the western edge of the CBD. Construction of the facility was completed in 1979 and consist of one 15-story building containing approximately 423,147 gross square feet (39,312gsm), including a full basement and sits on 1.9 acres of property. At present approximately 20 client agencies are located in the “Modern Office Style” structure. The building has been well maintained over the last 28 years. However many of its systems have reached the end of their useful life. Exterior walls, glazing, and site paving are exhibiting marks of weather and environmental pollution degradation while some of the interior finishes are outdated and in need of repair/replacement. Renovation of the existing building will occur while the building is occupied. The Government intends for the work to be accomplished in multiple phases. In addition to renovation of the existing facility, construction phase services will also include constructing a new 3,000 sf security pavilion and site landscaping. The guaranteed maximum price for this project is $60 million for combined services (Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Work.). The North American Industry Classification System Code(s) (NAICS) for this procurement is 236220. The CMc will be competitively chosen using Advisory Multi-Step (FAR 15.202), and Source Selection (FAR 15.3) procedures. There are two components of work to be performed under this Contract: Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Work. The Construction Phase Work is an option. The CMc is required to complete the Design Phase Services for the firm-fixed-price presented in the procurement process. At any time during or after Design Phase Services, the Contracting Officer may request the CMc to provide a firm-fixed-price proposal for the Construction Phase Work. “Design Phase Services” means the design phase construction management services, constructability reviews, cost estimate reconciliation services and other related services as described in the scope of work provided in the RFP.. Construction Phase Work” means all work and services, including general conditions, necessary for the construction of the project described by the plans, specifications and other provisions incorporated into the RFP, excluding Design Phase Services. The CMc is a member of the project team during the design and construction phases, along with GSA as the public owner; GSA’s Construction Manager as-Agent; GSA’s selected architecture and engineering firm and Architect of Record; GSA’s building commissioning firm; GSA’s security consultant, and other consultants. The CMc shall be required to assign, as needed, a team consisting of, but not limited to, mechanical and electrical reviewers; cost estimators; CPM analysts; field engineers; field support staff; construction supervisors; construction superintendents; testing engineers/technicians; and other disciplines as needed to perform the services described herein. A best value concept will be applied for evaluation of offers and selection of the successful Offeror for this procurement. The best value approach provides the opportunity to select an Offeror who is not necessarily the lowest-priced or the highest technically-ranked. GSA will select the proposal that represents the best value based on the evaluation of technical factors and price, with technical factors being weighed more heavily than price. This is a multi-step advisory procurement that consists of two stages. Stage I, Factor 1: - Offerors must provide a statement from their federal approved bonding corporate surety (see website at www.fms.treas.gov/c570/index.html), certifying their bonding capacity for a project GMP of $60 million and are required to be licensed general contractors in accordance with state statutes. Other bonding options are available in accordance with FAR 28.204 and may be provided as an alternate to evidence of corporate bonding capacity. Factor 2: - These factors consider the Offeror in successfully completing similar projects. “Similar” is defined as renovation or modernization of multi-story (6-story minimum) buildings of a minimum of 200,000, gross square feet. These structures can include courthouses, hospital facilities, casinos, Class A office space, research laboratories, government-owned buildings, or major renovations of such similar projects, with a construction cost of a minimum of $35 million. The SSEB will be limited to reviewing only projects of similarity. All projects submitted should be relative to those similar in type and scope to this project. a: Design Phase Services: - Demonstrate capability on one (1) project completed within the past ten (10) years of $35 million or more in construction cost and a minimum of 200,000, gross square feet, in which the Offeror provided Design Phase Services similar to those required under this project. Provide the name, location and date completed of referenced project. b: Construction Phase Work as a prime contractor. Demonstrate capability on three (3) projects completed within the past ten (10) years of $35 million or more in construction cost and a minimum of 200,000 gross square feet, in which the Offeror provided construction phase work similar to those required under this. Licensed general contractors having the minimum bonding capacity are invited to respond to Stage I by submitting one (1) original and five (5) copies of the required technical information. The submission should be in an 8-1/2” x 11” bound format and should be organized to correspond with the evaluation factors listed below. The total pre-solicitation notice submission should not exceed ten (10) one-sided 8-1/2”x 11” pages or five (5) double-sided 8-1/2”x 11” pages (not including Table of Contents or Section Separators), with one-inch margins, and in a font not less than 12-point in size. Font style is optional. Submissions shall clearly address the Stage I factors identified in this announcement. Proposals will be evaluated using an Advisory Multi-step Process as specified in FAR 15.202. The Contracting Officer shall advise respondents considered not to be viable competitors of the general basis for that opinion. All Offerors shall be informed that, notwithstanding the advice provided by the Contracting Officer in response to their submissions concerning their viability, they may still compete in Stage II. Projects presented under Factors 1 and 2 above may be the same projects. The Stage I Pre-Solicitation Notice factors are independent of the factors in the Stage II Request for Proposal and will be used to evaluate an Offeror’s viability based on its submission to the Stage I Pre-Solicitation Notice. Offerors will be notified of viability and the Request-for- Proposal will be released on or about May 15, 2009 Stage II Request for Proposals (RFP) - Proposals will be evaluated and scored according to technical evaluation factors included in the RFP. The technical proposals will be reviewed and evaluated prior to and separately from the review of price proposals. As part of the Stage II evaluation, the Contracting Officer and Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) may conduct interviews. However, the Government reserves the right to evaluate proposals and make award without discussions or oral presentations (clarifications may be made as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror's proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms. Final selection will be made based on technical factors being weighted significantly more than price (price being represented by the Offeror’s proposal for Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Services). The Offerors may use projects submitted in Stage I to respond to the Stage II evaluation factors. If interviews are conducted, firms will be interviewed at GSA’s Region 4 offices in Atlanta, Georgia, by members of the SSEB. The following criteria represent the factors that will be used by GSA’s Source Selection Evaluation Board in evaluating Stage II proposals. Factor 1 considers past performance in providing Design Phase Services on similar projects. Factor 2 considers past performance in providing Construction Phase Services as a prime contractor on similar projects. Factor 3 considers qualifications and experience of key personnel. Factor 4 considers the management plan and technical approach. Factor 5 considers the offeror’s proposed approach for successful and meaningful participation and performance during Design Phase Services. Factor 6 considers the offeror’s available resources and facilities to accomplish the project. Stage II also requires offerors that are a large business to indicate their intention to submit a subcontracting plan for the project that provides for participation by small business concerns. Stage 2 proposal will be due on or about June 15, 2009. Interested firms must submit their Stage I submission, no later than 2:00 PM EST on Monday, May 11, 2009, to Leslie M. Smalls, Contracting Officer, General Services Administration, Public Buildings Service, Acquisition Management Division (4PG), Suite 2500, 401 West Peachtree Street N.W., Atlanta, Georgia, 30308. A Pre-Proposal Conference and site visit is scheduled to be held on May 27, 2009 at 10:30 am All submittals must clearly indicate the solicitation number (GS-04P-09-EX-C-0076) on the face of the envelope. Late submittals will be handled in accordance with FAR 52.215-1(c)(3). Facsimile proposals will not be accepted. Be advised that, due to heightened security measures, individuals entering a Federal facility must have photo identification and may be delayed. Firms planning to hand-deliver submissions should take this into consideration.
