GSA intends to contract for design-build services with the firm that best demonstrates a commitment to meet the IRS's program requirements. The Government's program objectives for this project are that it: 1) provide a new Customer Servic Center of approximately 36,491 gross square meters (392,799 gross square feet) of mid-rise general office space;2) provide innovative technologies and features which will support improved occupant productivity, energy conservation, space flexibility, reliable systems operations, and low maintance; and, 3) comply with local, state and Federal government codes and standards. The estimated total construction costs for the project is estimated to range between $50,000,000 to $60,000,000. The Government anticipates award of the design-build contract approximately April 1, 1996. The facility will be designed and constructed in metric units. The scope of the design-build service under this proposed Solicitation for Offers include, but are not limited to, the following: 1) competition of construction documents based on Government supplied design documents which set forth the Government's minimum requirements and are approximately 45% complete; 2) CAD drawings and specifications compatible with GSA's AUTOCAD and QIC-80-MC Format; 3) design submissions for 60%, 90% and 100% levels of design completion; 4) construction of facility; 5) post-construction services. The GSA will employ a two phase evaluation process to determine the successful business entity to provide this project. The Phase One process will involve a technical proposal submission to be evaluated using a ''go/no-go'' selection approach. ALL Phase One minimum submission requirements must be met by aprospective business entity in order to be considered for Phase Two evaluation under this project. Firms that do not qualify for Phase One will not be invited to submit for Phase Two. Qualified firms for Phase Two will submit technical and pricing proposals to be evaluated using both a ''go/no-go'' and ''greatest value'' process in order to determine the succssful business entity. Phase One submission requirements will consist of Standard Forms 254 and 255. Minimum technical submission requirements will also include evidence of prime contractor construction experience, Architectural/ Engineering design expeience and demonstration that those firms have performed work of similar size and complexity under past performance. Qualified firms shall also demonstrate financial and bonding capabilities and must show proficiency in utilizing CAD. Phase One evaluation will solely be a ''go/no-go'' selection approach. Phase Two submission requirements will consist of electrical and mechancial documentations, similar to Phase One requirements, which will be evaluated on a ''go/no-go'' selection approach. Other documentation required to be submitted will contain a technical and price proposal which will not be evaluated, unless, the electrical and mechanical technial qualifications are met. The technical and pricing proposal will be evaluated using the ''greatest value'' approach where the pricing is compared to the technical evaluation factors. Technical evaluation factors include but are not limited to: 1) detailed project implementation plan; 2) quality control plan; 3) team qualifications and experience. The Solicitation for Offer will clearly specify the total evaluation process including the format that shall be utilized for proposal submision.
