- Description
- SOW Similar Project Template - Offeror Phase 1 Request for Qualification (RFQ) with Phase II Similar Project Template - Offeror A/E Past Performance Questionnaire The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Facilities (ORF), Office of Acquisition (OA) has a requirement for the construction of Decommission and Demolition of two (2) structures, buildings 7 and 9 located in Bethesda, Maryland on NIH's main campus. Description of Requirement NIH Building 7 previously a research building; it has 3 floors plus ground floor with a total area of 53,500 GSF. Due to research function constraints and inadequacy of the utilities to support the facility, the building was vacated in 2005. It will be the first of the two buildings to be demolished as directed by the Government; it is currently vacant and unoccupied. NIH Building 9 is an administration and research building; it has 1 floor plus basement with a total area of 38,900 GSF. The office spaces in Building 9 are currently occupied by eight (8) Institutes and ORF offices. The institutes are currently being relocated to new facilities. In accordance with the 2012 NIH Master Plan, the two (2) buildings are to be demolished to make space for a new research building. The current NIH Master Plan calls for the demolition of Buildings 7 & 9 as part of the plan to clear the Southeast portion of the site closest to Building 10. The site will be used for the new Research Facility (Building D). The schedule for the project is dependent on the current occupants vacating building 9. In addition, once buildings 7 and 9 are demolished the area will be used as a construction lay down site for Building 10 E Wing renovation project. It is anticipated to start in 2015. The contractor shall provide Design-Build services to facilitate the complete removal of buildings 7 & 9 in their entirety including all remnants of their foundations, leaving the plotted areas backfilled with compacted suitable soil, graded level with a grassy (sod) park like setting (Allow for the installation of approximately 300 lf of 4 foot wide standard thickness reinforced sidewalk, 10 - Autumn Blaze Maples tree each with a minimum of 4 inch calipers with appropriate soil amendments prior to planting) and finished as directed by the Government. The contractor is required to provide architectural and engineering design services by professionals licensed to practice in Maryland. The Design/Build Contractor (aka D/BC, DBC, or Contractor) shall provide decommissioning and demolition construction documents (working drawings and specifications), featuring the following disciplines and or representative systems; architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, plumbing, fire suppression and electrical, and security systems. The provided construction documents and specifications are subject to the NIH Peer Review (owners review) procedure. The documents shall include the necessary information to facilitate the demolition of the buildings without damaging and or causing disturbance to any of the other adjacent facilities. The contractor shall be responsible for delivering a project that is LEED accredited/certified and provides sustainable features to achieve flexibility, energy efficiency, for quality of environment. Procurement strategy Pursuant to FAR Subpart 15.3, NIH will employ source selection tradeoff procedures to procure and award the construction contract for this project. All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are significantly greater than cost or price. This is a Two Phase Design Build Selection Procedure in accordance with FAR 36.303-1(b). The selection process will have two phases. Phase I, Request for Qualifications (RFQ), shall result in the establishment of a list of offerors identified as Viable Competitors, who will be invited to participate in the next stage of the procurement, Phase II. Phase II, Request for Proposals (RFP), shall result in the selection of the construction contractor whose offer provides the Government with the best value. In Phase I, the Government shall identify the evaluation factors other than cost or price that are critical to this procurement and that will serve as the basis for the determination of the viable competitors. Interested offerors will be required to submit their responses to the RFQ by the due date established in the RFQ. The Government will evaluate all the responses to the RFQ in accordance with the criteria in the RFQ, and advise each offeror in writing either that it will be invited to participate in the RFP or, based on the information submitted in the RFQ response that it is unlikely to be a viable competitor. Notwithstanding this advice, an offeror that is unlikely to be a viable competitor may not participate in Phase II of the procurement. Offerors that did not submit a timely RFQ response in Phase I will not be allowed to participate in Phase II of the procurement. After evaluating Phase I proposals, the Government shall select the most highly qualified offerors, not to exceed three (3). In Phase II, the Government will issue the RFP to the viable competitors and the other offerors from Phase I that elect to participate in Phase II. The RFP will serve as the basis for the firm-fixed price offers from the offerors in Phase II. The firm-fixed price offers will be due by the date established in the RFP. Based on the Phase I and Phase II submissions, the Government shall select the offer that reflects the best value to the Government. The Government reserves the right to make an award upon the basis of the initial Phase I and Phase II offers without discussions. Any resulting contract will be firm fixed price. NAICS Code: 236220 with a size standard of $33.5 million. It has been determined that competition will be limited to eligible 8(a) firms located within the geographical area serviced by the Washington DC Metropolitan District Office, and other eligible 8(a) construction firms with a bona fide place of business located within the geographical competitive area per 13 CFR §124.507. All other 8(a) participants are deemed ineligible to submit offers. Magnitude of Construction is between $1 million and $5 million. All responders are advised that this project may be cancelled or revised at any time during the solicitation, selection, evaluation, negotiation and final award. All contractors are advised that they must be registered, by the time of Phase 1 submissions, in SAM's database (https://www.sam.gov). Joint ventures must also be registered into this database as a joint venture. We advise contractors to begin this process when they prepare their proposal in order to ensure this registration is in place should they be selected for the award. Lack of registration in the SAM's database will make an offeror ineligible for award. One or more of the items under this acquisition is subject to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and Free Trade Agreements. The procurement is an 8(a) competitive set aside for the local area of Metropolitan Washington DC District Office of the Small Business Administration per FAR 19.804-3(d). Program of Requirements and a Past Performance Questionnaire Templates are attached to solicitation. No questions will be taken by telephone.
