TOEWS,Contracting Officer (202)307-0954 The Federal Bureau of Prisons intends to award a firm-fixed price contract for Construction Management Support Services for the design-build construction of a United States Penitentiary (USP) and a Federal Prison Camp (FPC) to be located in Preston County near Hazelton, West Virginia. Additionally, the Construction Management Support Services for the design-build construction of a Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) located at the same site will be a contract option subject to factors which will include funding availability in Fiscal Year 2001 and may be exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Construction Management Firm's contract. The Construction Management Firm's contract will encompass Construction Management Support Services for an independent design-build contract which includes: site work and major construction of a USP, FPC, and various support buildings. The USP is a high security facility currently planned to consist of a group of one and two story buildings in a "compound plan" arrangement with a gross building area of approximately 54,000 square meters. The FPC is a minimum security facility and will be located outside the secure compound and will have a total building area of approximately 3,000 square meters . Total design and construction costs for the entire project are estimated to be more than $10,000,000. Site work for the USP is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2000 with major construction anticipated to begin in the spring of 2001. Contract performance period is anticipated to be approximately 102 calendar weeks. This performance period may be extended to approximately another 52 calendar weeks if contract option as noted above is executed. The proposed Construction Management Support Services are to include, but not be limited to: attendance at design review meetings; review of documents and inspection of construction for conformance with contract requirements; analysis of contractor's CPM schedules and progress reports; maintenance of project files, inspection and testing records, and job diaries; preparation of cost estimates and analysis of change order requests; review of contractor's submittals and payment requests; analysis and recommendations related to disputes and claims; preparation and processing of correspondence and documentation related to these services; and other services required for the successful administration of the project. The selected firm will provide these services using onsite and home office support personnel, as well as any other resources required, to execute the needed tasks. To be considered, firms must have at least five (5) years experience in management of construction projects of similar scope and complexity and have experience in the analysis and resolution of claims and disputes. Failure to identify all site personnel and provide requisite resumes may disqualify an offeror from further consideration or may result in a lower technical score. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers (listed in descending order of importance with the exception of price): past performance, technical, small business subcontracting and price. Contract Award will be determined by Best Value consistent with the evaluation criteria. While the non-price evaluation factors when combined are significantly more important than price, as proposals are determined to be more equal in technical merit, price becomes more important and may become the determining factor for Award. This agency will consider all proposals submitted by responsible sources. The solicitation, which includes instructions for submitting a quote, will be available on or about July 18, 2000. To facilitate timely issuance, requests for the solicitation should be faxed and then mailed to Belinda Toews, Contracting Officer, at the address and phone number below. Do not send P.O.
