Description

The General Services Administration (GSA) hereby notifies of the intent to issue a Two Step Requirement for the Design/Build contract for the historic Center Building as part of Phase 2 for the Consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the St. Elizabeths Hospital site in Anacostia, DC. The scope will include design/build efforts from approximately 30% bridging documents and construction management for the Center Building. Step One consists of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ); Step Two consists of a Request for Price Proposal (RFP). The St Elizabeths site is approximately 176 acres and is a National Historic Landmark (NHL) site containing primarily office space and parking structures with some special buildings for conferences and food service. The site, located one mile east of DC on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SE, is the former St. Elizabeths Hospital site in Anacostia, Washington, DC. Three phases are planned in total, with a phasing summary as follows: Phase 1 - new construction for the U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters (USCG) (1,179,500 gsf) [awarded September 2009] Adaptive reuse of historic buildings for DHS at 179,250 gsf; Phase 2 - The Center Building for DHS, Central Utility Plant and DHS Operations Center, a mix of new construction and adaptive reuse projects along with FEMA Headquarters at 1.7 million gsf and Phase 3 - a combination adaptive reuse and new construction for Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and DHS (1,398,150 gsf). The contractor must provide all design from the bridging documents, 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 GSA and client agency requirements. The contractor will perform the design and construction in accordance with the design specifications, bridging documents and terms and conditions of the contract. The estimated construction cost range is between $100 - 130 million. The Construction Performance Period shall not exceed 20 months. Competitive formal source selection procedures will be used in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.3; two-phase design-build selection procedures will be used in accordance with FAR Subpart 36.3. 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. The offeror must demonstrate its past organizational experience as a Design/Build (DB) Contractor responsible for the design and construction management of at least two (2) similar projects, within the past ten (10) years, which is comparable in nature, type, and complexity to the project in this solicitation. 2. PAST PERFORMANCE. This factor considers the extent of the Offeror's past performance with reference to such aspects as costs, timeliness, and technical success as part of the consideration. 3. KEY PERSONNEL. This factor considers the qualifications of the key personnel proposed by the offeror to execute the contract requirements for the positions proposed. 4. MANAGEMENT PLAN This factor considers the coordination and plan of action proposed by the offeror to execute the contract requirements for a successful project. 5. SUBCONTRACTING PLAN This factor considers the participation of minority contractors and the management of the subcontractors involved in the project. The Contractor (if not a small business concern), shall be required to present an acceptable small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and woman-owned small business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with Public Law 95-507 as part of its proposal. GSA anticipates issuing the Step One - Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on or about May 23, 2014, and, in accordance with the requirements of the RFQ, receipt of technical proposals by July 8, 2014. The actual date and time will be identified in the Step One - RFQ package. The RFP will be provided to all qualified teams on or about July 15, 2014 and all pricing proposals will be due to GSA on or around August 19, 2014 by 1:00 PM, Eastern, at the place designated in the RFP.

Proposals (Technical and Price) will be evaluated by the Government using source selection procedures per FAR Subpart 15.3. Only one proposal may be submitted by each offeror. Offerors should submit proposals that are acceptable without additional explanation or information as the Government may make a final determination regarding a proposal's acceptability solely on the basis of the initial proposal submitted. The Government may make an award without discussions.
