The Government reserves the right to make award on initial offers, but discussions may be held if appropriate.

This solution will include site work, construction of a new sallyport and prisoner elevator, parking and building entry renovations, and circulation zoning/control improvements.

Definition of Construction Manager as Constructor: A CMc contractor is defined as a firm engaged under direct contract to a building owner or client (in this case the GSA) to provide services such as design review, cost estimating, sustainability review, scheduling and general construction services. The services requested of the CMc shall cover a wide range of design and construction activities which are often performed by both Construction Managers (CMs) and General Contractors (GCs). In contrast to a CM that is not also a constructor; the CMc is at risk and is involved with project development and administration of the construction. The CMc shall be a member of the project development team during the design and construction phases, working with the A/E and the Government to ensure a quality project, within the mandated schedule and budget. The CMc contractor will perform services including, but not limited to: evaluating design concepts, monitoring A-E progress, coordinating design reviews, reviewing designs, reviewing and preparing cost estimates, controlling schedules, keeping records, reporting on design and construction progress, conducting Value Engineering (VE) exercises, conducting constructability reviews, constructing the facility at or below the defined budget or Estimated Construction Cost at Award (ECCA), administering the construction contract and all subcontracts, coordinating construction meetings, CPM scheduling, monitoring construction costs and performing administrative and other services as defined in the scope of work to provide for a completely functional facility. There are two components of work to be performed under this Contract: Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Services. There are three (3) options for the Construction Phase Services. The Contractor is required to complete the Design Phase Services for the firm-fixed-price set forth in the Contract Price Schedule. If the Government exercises the option(s) for the Construction Phase Services, the contractor shall complete the Construction Phase Services at or below the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). Joint Ventures: Joint venture or firm/ consultant arrangements will be considered and must submit an acceptable joint venture agreement. The solicitation package will be available on or about December 3, 2012. The solicitation package will only be available electronically.

A pre-proposal conference and site-visit will be held on or about December 13, 2012 and notification to the Contract Specialist of proposed attendance will be required. We consider attendance at this conference vital to the preparation of a competitive and cost effective proposal and to understanding the total result desired by the Government. Failure to attend this meeting may not be used as an excuse for omissions and miscalculations in offers. The offers are due on or about January 3, 2013 at 3:30 pm. (Central Daylight Time). All responsible sources may submit a bid/proposal which shall be considered by the agency. In order to be eligible for award offerors are required to provide electronic representations and certifications in System for Award Management (SAM) accessed via https://www.acquisition.gov.
