Z -- PREQUAL LIST FOR REPAIR AND ALTERATION OF FEDERAL BLDGS/LEASED SPACE SOL n/a DUE 103197 POC Erica D. Wulf-Kamaka-415-997-0332 The General Services Administration(GSA) maintains a Prequalified Small Business Contractors List for Construction Services(Prequalified Contractors List) for the following geographic locations in Northern California(Region 9 of GSA) under the cognizance of the East Bay Field Office, including the Santa Rosa Federal Building, the Alameda Federal Center, the Vallejo Federal Building, and various lease locations in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, Sonoma, and Solano Counties. The Prequalified Contractors List is being used by GSA for a two year test period which began on April 1, 1997, and will end on March 31, 1999. Should the Test of the use of the Prequalified Contractors List prove to be successful, GSA may continue to utilize, update, and maintain the list. The Prequalified Contractors List will be limited to small business contractors, including small disadvantaged business and small women-owned business concerns, interested in performing building repair and alterations work(construction services) for the GSA that have met certain minimum qualification standards regarding experience and past performance, that are capable of providing bonding or other payment protections for subcontractors, and that can meet other requirements regarding conducting business electronically. The Prequalified Contractors List is used for projects costing more than $2,000 but less than $100,000. General construction contractors as well as major trade contractors(i.e., electrical, painting, asbestos removal, demolition, etc.) may apply for placement on the Prequalified Contractors List. The Small Business Act requires that purchases between $2,500 and $100,000 be reserved for small business concerns unless a determination is made that there is no reasonable expectation of obtaining quotations from two or more small business concerns that will be competitive in terms of price, quality and delivery. Therefore, contractors must be small business concerns in order to qualify for placement on the Prequalified Contractors List. Once a requirement for construction services is identified, GSA will only solicit quotes from firms on the Prequalified Contractors List for purposes of performing the individual construction projects. Small businesses placed on the Prequalified Contractors List will receive electronic notification via E-mail or facsimile of contracting opportunities within the above referenced dollar range and will be invited to submit a quote by E-mail or facsimile. Interested small business concerns should request an Application for Placement on the Prequalified Contractors List by contacting Erica D. Wulf-Kamaka, Procurement Analyst, Tel. (415)522-3401, (E-Mail: erica.wulf-kamaka@gsa.gov). Facsimile requests may be submitted to Erica D. Wulf-Kamaka, Procurement Analyst, FAX #(415)522-3310.
