Construction and/or design-build completion schedules vary from project, location, and time of year, but are usually 6-8 months for construction and 8-10 months for design-build. Interested firms may submit, but must clearly indicate in the pre-qualification application, for any or all of the project types and states referenced above. Construction contractors will be evaluated on the following criteria: a) minimum five years experience as a prime general contractor; b) owner's references; c) successful completion of projects of similar size and scope; d) other criteria listed in the pre-qualification application. Design-build contractors will be evaluated on all criteria for construction contractors, plus: a) completed two or more successful design-build projects of similar scope and dollar range as projects indicated above within the last three years; b) have license to perform architecture/engineering (A-E) services in the states where projects are located (these capabilities may be consultants to the prime general contractor); c) provide proof of previous working relationship in a design-build team with the A-E firm(s) proposed for design; d) current workload and capacity in relation to the company resources; and e) other criteria listed in the pre-qualification application. Interested firms must obtain a pre-qualification package, which will be available at no charge. This package may be obtained upon written request to the above address, Attn: Marcia Stencel.

Firms selected as being the best qualified will be placed on the pre-qualification list for a period of two years. As projects are identified and approved for implementation, the pre-qualified contractors will receive Request for Proposals for specific projects. The pre-qualified list will be reviewed periodically. The Postal Service reserves the right to add or remove firms from the list. The pre-qualified firms will be reassessed on their qualifications and past performances. New firms who have not been previously evaluated, will be considered for placement on the pre-qualification list on a periodic basis. This is not a Request for Proposal. Submittals will not be returned.***** The US Postal Service, Denver Facilities Service office, is soliciting qualification statements from contractors desiring to be placed on a pre-qualified list for the construction and/or design-build of new postal facilities, and larger remodel and/or expansion projects in the state of Utah and/or Nevada.
