CONTRACT DESCRIPTION AND ADMINISTRATION: The design-build process is the procurement of a facility utilizing a Request of Proposal (RFP) to solicit both the design and construction of the facility by a single contractual instrument. The offeror must submit a proposal conforming to the provisions of this solicitation. Upon acceptance of this offer, the offeror is responsible for both the design and construction consistent with the requirements of this solicitation and the accepted proposal. This solicitation is not a "competitive bid" and there will not be a formal public opening. ACQUISITION STRATEGY: The New York District anticipates a single award of this contract resulting from a Single Phase Selection Procedure based on the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal. The number and identities of offerors are not revealed to anyone not involved in the evaluation and award process or to other offerors. The Government, at the Government's discretion, may award a contract on the basis of initial offers received, without discussions. Therefore, the initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms from a technical and price standpoint. Any resultant contract will be based on the RFP documents, including amendments, and Offeror's technical and price proposal. After award, any proposed changes to the Offeror's Technical and Price Proposal must be approved by the Contracting Officer. EVALUATION PROCESS: The proposals will be evaluated on the basis of the technical qualifications and price. The evaluation process essentially consists of four parts: proposal compliance review, technical/quality evaluation, final proposal revision (if necessary), and price evaluation. To be considered acceptable, Offerors shall specifically address each of the evaluation factors set forth within the solicitation. Sufficient detail should be provided citing specific data as may be required, such that the proposal may be adequately evaluated. The proposal must clearly show that the Offeror has an understanding of the work required and has the capability to accomplish the project in accordance with the project schedule. PARTIAL LISTING OF EVALUATION FACTORS: 1) Building Systems and site work (includes Floor Plan, Bullet Trap, Site Plan, Range Ventilation System, Range Material); 2) Contractor Qualifications, Past Experience, and Past Performance; 3) Resources, Management and Personnel; 4) Performance Capacity.
