- Description
- The General Services Administration (GSA), Great Lakes Region 5, announces an opportunity to provide Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) services for the Ashley Courthouse Renovation and New Annex in Toledo, OH. The scope of CMc services under this proposed contract includes Design Phase Services and an option for 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 total 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, and Project Labor Agreement. Additionally, Cost Accounting Standard (CAS) compliance shall represent a go/no-go factor. 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. 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 $67,000,000.00 to $77,000,000.00. The Design Phase Services are anticipated to commence upon award of the contract on or about November 20, 2017. The optional Construction Phase Work is anticipated to be awarded in early 2018, with a performance period of approximately 1124 calendar days for construction of the Annex and 1866 calendar days for the entire project. The requirement for this opportunity includes the modernization of the existing Ashley Courthouse in conjunction with the construction of a new adjoining courthouse annex, to meet the Judiciary's current and long-term needs in Toledo. When complete, the new annex and renovation of the Ashley Courthouse will provide for the 10-year space requirements, and the structures/site will allow for expansion to meet the anticipated 30-year needs of the U.S. District Court. The project includes a total of six courtrooms and eight chambers. The project reflects senior district and magistrate judge sharing policies, does not include courtrooms for projected new judgeships, and has no exceptions to the U.S. Courts Design Guide. The project will also support the needs of the United States Attorneys and the United States Marshals Services and court support services. GSA will first construct the new annex and once complete, the Ashley Courthouse will be vacated during the renovation. The new annex will be constructed on the site received under exchange in 2001. Alteration work within the Ashley Courthouse includes upgrades to heating, ventilating, and air conditioning, electrical systems, lighting, plumbing, life safety systems (including fire alarm replacement); elevator replacement; accessibility upgrades; tenant improvements; facade repairs; roof replacement; and hazardous material abatement. The NAICS code for this procurement is 236220. 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 Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), 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). Joint Ventures: Joint venture or firm/ consultant arrangements will be considered and must submit an acceptable joint venture agreement. A pre-proposal conference and site-visit will be held in Toledo, Ohio on August 9, 2017 at 10:00 Eastern Time at the Ashley US Courthouse; registration is required to attend the pre-proposal. A link to the Pre-Proposal Registration Form is included in the solicitation posting, and anyone interested in attending the pre-proposal conference shall complete the form and submit it no later than one week prior to the pre-proposal conference. Please note, the number of people attending will be limited to two individuals per company/team. We consider attendance at this conference vital to the preparation of a competitive and cost effective proposal and to understanding the total result desired by the Government. Failure to attend this meeting may not be used as an excuse for omissions or miscalculations in offers. The offers will be due on or about August 31, 2017. All responsible sources may submit a bid/proposal which shall be considered by the agency. In order to be eligible for award offerors are required to provide electronic representations and certifications in the System for Award Management (SAM), which can be accessed at: https://www.sam.gov. An award is anticipated on or about November 20, 2017. Any questions regarding this notification should be directed to the Contract Specialist Anna Vanko at anna.vanko@gsa.gov and Contracting Officer, Greg Oprian at gregory.oprian@gsa.gov.
