Description

The General Services Administration (GSA) hereby notifies of the intent to issue a Requirement for the Design/Build contract for the CENTRAL UTILITY PLANT (CUP) II for the Consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the St. Elizabeths Hospital site in Anacostia, DC. The scope will include design/build efforts from approximately 30% bridging documents and construction management for the CUP II Building. The St Elizabeths site is approximately 176 acres and is a National Historic Landmark (NHL) site containing primarily office space and parking structures with some special buildings for conferences and food service. The site, located one mile east of DC on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SE, is the former St. Elizabeths Hospital site in Anacostia, Washington, DC. Three phases are planned in total, with a phasing summary as follows: Phase 1 - new construction for the U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters (USCG) (1,179,500 gsf) [awarded September 2009] Adaptive reuse of historic buildings for DHS at 179,250 gsf; Phase 2 - The Center Building for DHS, Central Utility Plant and DHS Operations Center, a mix of new construction and adaptive reuse projects along with FEMA Headquarters at 1.7 million gsf and Phase 3 - a combination adaptive reuse and new construction for Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and DHS (1,398,150 gsf). The Department of Homeland Security Headquarters Central Utility Plant Expansion (CUP2) project at St. Elizabeths is a follow-up project to work completed during Phase 1 development of the campus. The Phase 1 Central Utility Plant, constructed to support the US Coast Guard Headquarters (Munro Building), is an existing two story below grade structure with an above grade "head house" utilized for equipment and personnel access. The upper (LL1) level is dedicated to electrical systems, consisting of emergency generators and switch gear, the lower (LL2) level contains boilers, chillers, and fuel storage for the emergency generators, as well as office space for operations personnel. The CUP1 and a temporary Modular Utility Plant (MUP) are sized to accommodate only the portions of campus built out during Phase 1- the Douglas A. Munro USCG Headquarters, portions of the Departmental Operations Center A (DOC A), and Buildings 31, 33, 40, 41, 48, and 49. In order for the next phase (Phase 2A) of campus construction to be brought on line, the Central Utility Plant must be expanded to accommodate this additional area. These next phases include the Center Building Complex, the West Addition, and additional build-out space within DOC A. Ideally, the CUP2 would be operational not only in time for occupancy of these buildings, but in time to condition these building sites for interior construction, thereby saving costs for temporary air handling units. The CUP2 building is planned to accommodate the remaining equipment needed for the campus build out. The Procurement is a Design-Build-Bridging contract to be performed in a one-step process. The potential Offerors/General Contractors are expected to partner with reputable and experienced design firms. The Government will use the Best Value, Tradeoff Process in order to consider award to the other than the lowest price offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror. This process permits tradeoffs among cost or price and non-cost factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest priced proposal. The perceived benefit of the higher priced proposal shall merit the additional cost, and the rationale for tradeoffs will be documented in accordance with FAR 15.3. Non-price factors include: Past performance, Experience, Technical and Management Approach, Specialized experience and technical competence, Small Business Utilization, Project Labor Agreement. All non-price factors are considered to be of equal weight with regard to the evaluation. The estimated price range for the Project is between $30 and $40 Million. Liquidated Damages shall be $ 3,000 per calendar day. Substantial Completion is within 540 calendar days from issuance of Notice to Proceed (NTP); Contract Completion is within 60 calendar days of Substantial Completion NAICS Code: 236220 The Contractor (if not a small business concern), shall be required to present an acceptable small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and woman-owned small business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with Public Law 95-507 as part of its proposal.
