- Description
- THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. The General Services Administration, Public Buildings Service, National Capital Region, working with the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission (EMC), intends to issue a Request for Proposal for Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) services intended for a New National Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial. The Memorial will be located entirely on Federal Property at a four acre site in the center of Washington, DC. The site lies at the intersection of Maryland and Independence Avenues, SW and spans two blocks, from 4th street to 6th Street, SW. The estimated range for this project is between $85,000,000 and $95,000,000. The Project: Provide Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) services necessary to construct the new Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial in Washington, DC. The Eisenhower Memorial will be a permanent addition to the urban landscape of Washington DC. The Eisenhower Memorial must have quality and substance equal to its place in the monumental core of the Nation's Capital. It will be a "plaza-type" memorial with extensive landscape and hardscape components and a small (approx. 4,500 SF) building consisting of office space, a bookstore, public toilets, and support facilities for the operation and maintenance of the Memorial. The project will feature large monumental-grade memorialization elements and aesthetic depictions befitting a national presidential memorial within in the scope of the construction contract. The estimated construction cost including all construction work and memorialization elements, NOT INCLUDING the bronze sculptures, ranges between $85,000,000 and $95,000,000. The Bronze sculptural figures are being procured by GSA under a separate contract. All work will be performed in accordance with GSA authorized and approved standards. Award will be a Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) Guaranteed Maximum Price with Construction Contingency Allowance and Shared Savings contract. The CMc contract is a variation on the fixed price incentive (successive targets) contract type found in FAR 16.403-2 tailored for construction. The ceiling price is set at selection and award of the contract. The adjusting profit requirement in FAR 16.403-2 is accomplished through the shared savings aspect of the contract. The solicitation will be made under FAR 15 Source Selection. The procurement method will be a competitive negotiated RFP. Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal conforms to all requirements of the solicitation and is considered to be most advantageous to the Government, cost or price and other factors considered. For the solicitation, the combined weight of the technical evaluation factors is significantly more important than price. As technical proposals become more equal in their technical merit, the evaluated cost or price becomes more important. Design Phase Services include, and are not limited to, review and evaluation of the Architect of Record construction document submissions for constructability, reconciliation of all cost estimates; preliminary project schedule development; identification of long-lead items, and, establishment of firm-fixed pricing. The CMc shall possess a full understanding of the project, its contract documents, the principles of Federal construction contracting and contract administration. Most importantly, the CMc shall have complete responsibility for the construction of the facility, should the Option for Construction Phase Work be exercised. Construction Phase services include, but are not limited to, construction; project scope management; selection and procurement of all necessary subcontractors, including artisans; administration of the construction contract and all subcontracts; critical path method (CPM) scheduling and schedule control; monitoring construction costs; progress reporting; conducting and coordinating inspections and testing to ensure proper functioning of the Memorial; coordination of commissioning and turnover to designated facility management staff and tenants; performing closeout procedures; and, all other required services necessary for a complete and sustainable facility. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this work is 236220. All responsible firms may submit an offer. This is a competitive negotiated acquisition governed by procedures in FAR 15. 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. Therefore, offerors will be requested to submit initial proposals to the Government on the most favorable terms from a technical and price standpoint. Proposal submission instructions will be included in the RFP. GSA anticipates awarding one firm-fixed price contract as a result of the solicitation. The RFP will be available on or about 15 days after the posting of this Pre-Solicitation Notice. It is anticipated that the proposals will be due approximately 45 days after the RFP is released.
