The scope of CMc services under this proposed contract includes Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Services. The CMc will be competitively chosen using Source Selection (FAR 15) procedures. 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. For this procurement, the technical factors will be significantly more important than price (FAR 15.101-1, Trade Offs). The technical factors will include Experience in providing Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Services on similar projects; Project Management Plan/Approach; Qualifications and Experience of Key Personnel; Past Performance in providing Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Services on similar projects. The Contractor must demonstrate their compliance with CAS through the submittal of all disclosures in accordance with FAR 52.230-1, Cost Accounting Standards Notice and Certifications and FAR 52.230-7, Proposal Disclosure - Cost Accounting Practice Changes. Cost Accounting Standard (CAS) compliance shall represent a go/no-go evaluation factor. The Government reserves the right to make award on initial offers, but discussions may be held if appropriate. The estimated total construction cost for the project falls within the range of $15,000,000 to $25,000,000, firms must have bonding capacity within this range. The Design Phase Services is anticipated to commence upon award of the contract on or about March 28, 2016. The Optional Construction Phase Work is anticipated to be awarded on or about June 2016, with a performance period of approximately 900 calendar days. Project Summary: The existing Land Port of Entry (LPOE) facility is located in Derby Line, Vermont, and is bounded by northbound I­91, Caswell Avenue, and the southbound I­91 on/off ramp. This site is approximately 4.5 acres with 3 acres of impervious surfaces. The total square footage of the project is approximately 30,000 GSF and will include replacement of; the existing Commercial Inspection Building (CIB), the Main Port Building (MPB); and the Noncommercial Secondary Inspection Building; all inspection booths and primary and secondary inspection canopies; new bus lane, new local access drive; along with site improvements, and new HVAC, electrical, utility, and security systems. Port operations will be continuous 24/7/365 throughout all construction phases on a very constrained site. The CMc shall be a member of the project development team during the design and construction phases. The CMc selected for this project shall work along with the GSA and GSA's selected Architect and Engineer (A/E) firm, Commissioning Agent (CxA), and Construction Manager as Agent (CMa). The services requested of the CMc shall cover a wide range of design and construction activities, such as: constructability reviews, cost estimating, work phasing reviews, scheduling and general construction services. 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. 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 for the Construction Phase Services, the contractor shall complete the Construction Phase Services at or below the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). GMP is the equivalent of the ceiling price described in FAR 16.403-2. At contract award, the GMP for the contract is established as the sum of the target Estimated Cost of the Work (ECW), the CMc Contingency Allowance (CCA) and the Fee for the Construction services work. Joint Ventures: Joint venture or firm/ consultant arrangements will be considered and must submit an acceptable joint venture agreement. The solicitation package will be available on or about December 28, 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.
