The objective of the Source Selection Process is to select a proposal that represents the best value to the Government. The award will be made to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and offers the best value to the Government, considering the technical factors and the evaluated price.

The Government reserves the right to make award on initial offers, but discussions may be held if appropriate.

The performance periods for all five (5) options are anticipated to overlap at times. Project Summary: The project is based on the Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse Major Building Systems Study, which took place in April 2013. The Levin U.S. Courthouse Prospectus project is an alteration project funded in three phases (FY14, FY15 and FY16) to correct serious building deficiencies of the historic courthouse which houses the Federal Courts for the Eastern District of Michigan. FY14 funding includes the replacement of chillers, addition of fire safety stair and freight elevator, and basement loading dock improvements. FY15 funding includes the replacement of the fire alarm, electrical distribution system and emergency generator, perimeter fan coils, passenger elevators, and extension of the fire sprinkler system. The FY16 funding includes replacement or repair of major HVAC components, including air handling units and fiberboard ductwork and upgrades to the building automation system, plumbing, and restrooms.

The CMc is at risk and is responsible for involvement in the project development and administration of the construction. Definition of Construction Manager as Constructor: A CMc contractor is defined as a firm engaged under direct contract to a building owner or client (in this case the GSA) to provide services such as design review, cost estimating, sustainability review, scheduling and general construction services. The services requested of the CMc shall cover a wide range of design and construction activities which are often performed by both Construction Managers (CMs) and General Contractors (GCs). In contrast to a CM that is not also a constructor; the CMc is at risk and is involved with project development and administration of the construction. The CMc shall be a member of the project development team during the design and construction phases, working with the A/E and the Government to ensure a quality project, within the mandated schedule and budget. The CMc contractor will perform services including, but not limited to: evaluating design concepts, monitoring A-E progress, coordinating design reviews, reviewing designs, reviewing and preparing cost estimates, controlling schedules, keeping records, reporting on design and construction progress, conducting Value Engineering (VE) exercises, conducting constructability reviews, constructing the facility at or below the Estimated Construction Cost at Award (ECCA), administering the construction contract and all subcontracts, coordinating construction meetings, CPM scheduling, monitoring construction costs and performing administrative and other services as defined in the scope of work to provide for a completely functional facility. There are two components of work to be performed under this Contract: Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Services. There are five (5) options for the Construction Phase Services. The Contractor is required to complete the Design Phase Services for the firm-fixed-price set forth in the Contract Price Schedule. If the Government exercises the option(s) for the Construction Phase Services, the contractor shall complete the Construction Phase Services at or below the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). Joint Ventures: Joint venture or firm/ consultant arrangements will be considered and must submit an acceptable joint venture agreement. A draft solicitation package will be posted on or about Tuesday, April 14, 2015. The finalized solicitation package will be available on or about April 24, 2015. The solicitation package will only be available electronically. Potential Offerors will be responsible for downloading the solicitation from the FedBizOpps website, https://www.fbo.gov, and for monitoring for possible amendments and/or additional information.
