The General Services Administration (GSA) wants top-quality design for the Foley renovation project.

For this, GSA has created Design Excellence Procedure that stresses creativity in design and quality in construction. Selection suitable offerors will be based on the offerors response to this RFQ. Each offeror will submit its qualifications in the format prescribed by the Design Excellence Procedure. Every offeror in response to the opportunity created here, will submit a short portfolio. The submitted portfolio will include: Five(5) sets as follows:(1) A cover letter referencing the CBD announcement and briefly describingthe firm and its location, organizational makeup, and noteworthy accomplishments; (2) Modified Standard Forms 254 and 255, which can be obtained from Ms. De La Torre, CO listed in the CBD announcement; (3) Documentation of up to five outstanding projects completed within the past ten years.

Up to three 8- by 10-inch illustrations (photographs, drawings, computer-generated art) should be submitted for each project. These can be before and after photos, interiors, elevations, or other visual evidence of quality design; (4) A statement of intent by the proposed lead designer (maximum of two pages) that conveys his or her design philosophy, understanding of current design issues, and approached and solutions applicable to the Foley project; (5) A profile of the proposed design leader and design team, caliber of team members, covering education, professional experience, and accomplishments; (6) A lead designer portfolio documenting up to three projects.

The offeror will provide the following assurances: (a) it has the resources available to handle this project; (b) the proposed design team is sufficiently experienced in designing federal buildings and courthouses; and (c ) the design team is familiar with the technology and security aspects of federal buildings and courthouses; and if awarded a contract, it will deliver a finished building that relates to the fabric and aesthetics of the existing building architecture and the surrounding buildings. Consideration for the selection of the A/E firm is not restricted to any geographic area.However, if an A/E firm from outside of the State of Nevada is to be considered, the firm must establish a local office in Las Vegas for the duration of this project with the key A/E personnel residing in the greater Las Vegas area. This approach is to avoid loading the budget with travel and long commuting expenses generated by the A/E project team. Posted 05/13/99 (W-SN331485). (0133)
