GSA will provide drawings depicting the current design solution (approximately 95% complete) along with comments associated with the solution to the firms in Stage Two of the selection process. The five floor building will house 6 courtrooms, 8 judges’ chambers, court-related agencies and court support facilities. It will include one level of subterranean parking.

The design should include consideration for sustainable design features. It will be the responsibility of the offeror to recommend modifications to the design to achieve construction in budget; complete the design documentation based upon agreed modifications, construct the new Courthouse and complete the design and construction (including commissioning) within 36 months of Notice to Proceed. This acquisition will implement a Two-Stage Design-Build Source Selection Process. The Stage One Request for Qualification (RFQ) will identify those firms which are the most highly qualified. A maximum of five (5) firms will be selected for consideration for the Stage Two Request for Proposal (RFP). The short list will be based on the firm’s submittals in response to the Stage One RFQ. The Stage Two RFP submission will be the basis for the final selection. Those firms included in Stage Two will be required to prepare fully developed technical and price proposals. GSA will allow changes to the 95% design documents necessary to meet the established guaranteed maximum price (GMP). Stage Two firms will be provided pertinent information regarding the design and programming requirements. In Stage Two, the Government will allow a stipend of $35,000 per Design/Build team for preparation of their proposal.
