The proposed high security USP and FPC is currently planned to consist of a group of buildings in a ?campus plan? arrangement with related site development and site utilities. The high security facility and camp will have a gross building area of approximately 62,000 square meters and be designed to house approximately 1,100 inmates. The anticipated performance period of this project is approximately 945 consecutive calendar days after notice to proceed is issued.

For consideration on this project, the offeror at a minimum must be a firm or joint venture with experience, individually or as a member of a team, in successfully and satisfactorily completing a project of similar size and scope. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered. For the design member of the design-build team, the Architect/Engineer firm or the principal or lead A/E firm of a joint venture must have an existing active office, which will have responsibility for the plans and specifications, located within the State of Arizona. The design of the architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, or other engineering features of the project shall be accomplished or reviewed and approved by architects and engineers registered in the State of Arizona to practice in the particular professional field involved. Participation by architects, engineers, consultants, and subcontractors located within the State of Arizona is encouraged. Participation by small, small-disadvantaged, HUBZone small businesses, small woman-owned businesses, veteran-owned businesses, and service disabled veteran-owned small businesses. The successful offeror will be required to submit a subcontracting plan for this procurement regarding the utilization of small, small-disadvantaged, small woman-owned businesses, veteran-owned small businesses, and service disabled veteran-owned small businesses. The FBOP will be utilizing two-phase Design-Build selection procedures. The Phase One solicitation will be distributed solely through the General Services Administration?s Federal Business Opportunities web site http://www.fedbizopps.gov.

All future information regarding this acquisition, including solicitation amendments, will also be distributed solely through this web site.

Phase One solicitations will be issued on or about January 7, 2002. The Phase One proposal due date will be identified in the Phase One solicitation. The Phase One solicitation will provide the scope of work, evaluation factors (Past Performance, Capability to Perform, Specialized Experience and Technical Competence, and Technical Approach) and submission information for interested Design-Build firms to prepare their Phase One qualification proposals. Phase One qualification proposals will be evaluated to determine which firms will be selected as offerors for Phase Two. Phase Two participants will submit competitive past performance, technical, small business and price proposals as defined in the Phase Two solicitation. The Phase Two evaluation factors (Past Performance, Preliminary Design and Proposed Technical Solutions, Proposed Organization and Key Personnel Consultants and Subcontractors, Management Approach, Small Business Subcontracting, Project Schedule Development and Monitoring, and Construction Quality Control and Assurance) are significantly more important than price, however, as proposals become more equal, price becomes more important and may be a determining factor for award.
