Y -- CONSTRUCTION OF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TERMINAL RADAR APPROACH CONTROL (TRACON) FACILITY IN SACRAMENTO, CA SOL DTFA08-97-B-03691 POC Edward R. Gibson (310) 725-7566 The Federal Aviation Administration has a requirement for the construction of a new Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facility. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is 1542. The estimated price range for this acquisition is between $18,000,000 to $21,000,000. The Screening Information Request (SIR) is the evaluation criteria to be used by FAA to evaluate offeror submittals. Screening decisions will be based on the evaluation criteria established in the SIR. The purpose of the SIR is to obtain information which will allow the FAA to identify the offeror which provides the best value, make a selection decision and award the contract to conclude the competitive process. The contractor shall furnish all necessary labor, material, equipment, transportation and services required to construct a 95,000 square foot, single story TRACON facility in Sacramento, California. The site is located on the east side of the former Mather Air Force Base at 11375 Douglas Road. Other work includes the attachment of site utilities, building of an off-site sewer force main and pump station and construction of an on-site communication facility (known as the Antenna Farm). The FAA considers this project to be complex in nature. Firms must demonstrate their qualifications and those of their intended key mechanical, plumbing and electrical subcontractors with respect to the published evaluation factors. The evaluation factors are listed in descending order of importance. Specific evaluation factors include: (A) Specialized Experience of Firm: Firm shall submit a detailed review of at least two projects accomplished recently which demonstrates successful completion of comparatively large, phased construction projects. A detailed review for the firm's intended key mechanical, plumbing and electrical subcontractors shall also be submitted. Specialized experience with conventional steel and concrete masonry unit construction, large modified bituminous sheet roofing systems, large critical electrical systems and mechanical HVAC systems, and complex integration of environmental control and monitoring systems is required to be demonstrated by the firm and its key subcontractors. These reviews must illustrate the scope of the effort, its complexity, how schedules were implemented and how objectives were met (include timetables). Projects completed by the firm and/or key subcontractors for the Federal Government or FAA in particular should be included, if any. (B) Past Performance: Firm and its intended key subcontractors (mechanical, plumbing and electrical) shall provide information on their past performance on construction contracts for the Department of Transportation, The Federal Aviation Administration, other government agencies, and/or private industry that are on-going or completed within the last five (5) years. Describe contract performance in terms of cost control; quality of work; accuracy of construction cost estimates; the number, dollar amount and reasons for construction change orders; testing, training, and operations/maintenance documentation for job close-out; and warranty work experience. Project schedules shall be provided to show timely completion of phased construction projects, with timely preparation for intermediate owner beneficial occupancy before total construction is completed. Special emphasis should be placed on the past performance with FAA, if any. Past performance will be used to evaluate the responsibility of the contractor and as an evaluation factor. New contractors with non-relevant contract experience will be considered. The Government considers Mechanical, Plumbing and Electrical as major subcontracts for this project performing critical aspects of the contract. Their evaluation will be equal to that of the prime. Each offeror shall provide a recent copy of a past performance report prepared by Dun & Bradstreet. References shall be provided for contracts that are similar in size, scope and complexity. All reference information must be complete and accurate. A minimm of two (2) references shall be provided for each contract referenced. The government may use past performance information obtained from other than the sources identified by the offeror and the information obtained may be used for both responsibility determination and the best value decision.

Resumes should include name, educational background, present position to title, type of experience by years and any other information in sufficient detail to facilitate evaluation of their managerial, administrative, and technical competence. For exeuctive/supervisory personnel, a minimum of three years of direct executive or supevisory control of an organization is needed. Special emphasis should be place on experience with phased construction projects which had intermediate owner beneficial occupancy dates to allow for installation of power equipment, communications equipment and electrified systems furniture by other outside contractors or owner prior to project completion. Experience with government construction projects, large complex operational facilities and communication facilities should also be emphasized. Firms and its intended key subcontractors shall provide relevant recent experience and the technical knowledge of their project personnel and outside consultants, current workloads, total number of on-going projects, their construction value or fee and their percentage of completion. Firms shall also provide documentation that illustrates firms ability to manage subcontracts.
