- Description
- The USDA Forest Service has a requirement for two-phase design build at the White Mountain National Forest located on the Pemigewasset Ranger District, Grafton County. The projects begin approximately 0.2 miles south of US Highway 3 on Road #92, approximately 3 miles southeast of Bethlehem, NH. The project will consist of road reconstruction and road bridges replacement. The major work items include complete survey, design, fabrication and construction of several sections totaling approximately 0.6 miles of South Gale Road, NFSR #92. This is a single-lane collector road with aggregate and asphalt surfacing through the length. The purpose of the design is to restore the roadway sections to the correct template, provide stability, improve drainage and replace aggregate surfacing. The project will include the replacement of three road bridges numbered 92-0.3, 92-0.5 and 92-0.7. The bridges are all single span treated timber bridges with solid sawn timbers, nail laminated deck and timber wall abutments. The design shall remove all existing structures and abutments and replace with new structures suitable for the sites. Salvageable materials, such as undamaged stringers are to be delivered to the Forest Service. The project also includes repairs, in-kind of road bridge number 92-1.2. This bridge is also a single-span treated timber bridge. Repairs shall include repair to the abutments, installing a wearing surface and the replacement of riprap stream armor. The resulting solicitation will be a Request for Proposal utilizing the Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures of FAR 36.3. The outcome will be a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose proposal offers the best value to the Government, price and technical factors considered. All Design Build teams responding during Phase One will be evaluated using the following evaluation criteria: 1) Past experience. The Prime Contractor’s past bridge design and construction experiences shall be shown on similar projects completed over the past five years. Experience is relevant when the offeror has been confronted with the kinds of work or challenges that will be present under the contract contemplated. The offeror will be assessed by the relevant experience on the basis of its breadth and its depth. For each relevant contract or reference, the offeror shall provide a) name and location of the project. b) Contact name and phone number of customer or their agent. c) Whether the offeror was the prime contractor or a subcontractor. d) List of subcontractors and suppliers used. d) Brief description of project and work performed. 2) Past performance. Experience is relevant when the offeror has satisfied performance factors with customers in the past and complied with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. The assessment of past performance will be subjective, and based mainly on the offeror’s reputation with their customers and others. Previous references will be contacted for information regarding their opinion on the following: a) capability, efficiency and effectiveness. b) Performance conformed to the terms and conditions of the contract. c) Reasonableness and cooperation during performance. d) Commitment to quality work and timely completion. Offerors with no past performance will be rated as “Neutral” in this category and not necessarily be rejected. 3) Staffing. Provide names and titles of key personnel to be assigned to the project, i.e. Design Engineer, Structural Engineer, Project manager, Project Superintendent, project Foreman, and Quality Control Inspector. The key personnel shall be shown in an organization chart relative to each person’s role. Indicate the qualifications of key personnel listed, showing at a minimum their experience and education. 4) Quality Control and Quality Assurance Plan. Submit a proposed quality control and quality assurance plan for the project, which shall include a minimum all testing and inspections required in the contract. The quality control and quality assurance plan shall also include, but not be limited to, all supplier and plant inspection companies, including their responsibilities. 5) Project Schedule. A proposed schedule shall be included with the offer which shall include, but not be limited to, submission of 35% review, 95% review and final design, construction startup and schedule. The highest rated offerors from Phase One will be selected to submit Phase Two proposals. The competitive range will not exceed five unless the Contracting Officer determines that a number greater than five is in the government’s best interest. The Government will notify those offerors that did not make the competitive range and will not be considered for further evaluations. Those firms making the competitive range will be sent a Request for Proposal and evaluated to determine best value on the following factors: 1) Past experience (same as phase I). 2) Past performance (same as phase I) 3) Staffing (same as phase I). 4) Quality control and quality assurance plan (same as phase I) 5) Project schedule (same as phase I). 6) Conceptual site plans and designs. 7) Sustainability and 8) Price Proposal. The Government reserves the right to negotiate with any or all offers or award without discussion and negotiations on this phase of the solicitation to the offeror submitting the best value. Cost for submission of price and technical proposals will not be compensated. The total estimated budget for this entire project is between $500,000 and $1,000,000. Any questions in response to this announcement should be directed to Teresa Corse, 814-728-6288.
