- Description
- This is a PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE only. This is not a request for proposal. General Contractor for Construction Services for the High Performance Green Building Follow-On Project at the Federico Degetau Federal Office Building, Hato Rey, Puerto Rico Reference may be made to FBO Sources Sought Notice No. GC-DegetauFOB-2016, posted on February 5, 2016. The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS) Northeast and Caribbean Region (Region 2) intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a qualified General Contractor to provide construction services for the modernization of the Federico Degetau Federal Office Building (FOB). This requirement will be 100% set aside for small business concerns in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 19.5. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code associated with this procurement is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction; with a size standard of thirty-six million, five hundred thousand dollars ($36,500,000) average annual receipts. All responsible small business firms may submit a proposal. This will be a competitively negotiated acquisition governed by procedures in FAR 15. Source selection procedures will be used to select the proposal that represents the best value to the Government by using the trade-off process. A firm fixed price contract is contemplated. GSA anticipates issuing the Request for Proposal (RFP) approximately on or about June 1, 2016; with receipt of proposals at a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days later. All information, amendments and questions concerning this solicitation will be electronically posted at the FedBizOpps website via http://www.fbo.gov. The period of performance for this requirement is expected to be between 570 and 775 calendar days. The Estimated Construction Cost for this project is between the range of $15,000,000 and $25,000,000. This project will serve as a follow-on action to the High Performance Green Building (HPGB) project funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. The building is located at 150 Carlos E. Chardon Avenue, which is on an existing 27 acre federal campus located in the Hato Rey area of San Juan. The modernization of the Federico Degetau Federal Office Building (FOB) aspires to greatly improve the environmental impact of the facility. The facility was constructed in the early 1970s, and, aside from small retrofits, was still utilizing the original base building environmental systems. The facility is located in the Hato Rey area of San Juan, Puerto Rico, which is a hot, humid environment. As a result, there is a continuous demand for cooling and dehumidification, particularly during the occupied daytime hours, and there is no demand for space heating. In 2011 the HPGB modernization project began with the primary goal of reducing the annual energy consumption and to further employ sustainable "green" strategies at the facility therefore making a healthier environment for its occupants. In this case, a healthier environment refers to greater thermal comfort, better indoor air quality, more comfortable lighting, and less toxic finishes (paints, floors, walls, ceilings, sealant, adhesives, etc.). To achieve this, the GSA committed to replacing all of the existing lighting and environmental systems with newer, more efficient, more effective systems. The original HPGB modernization project outlined- above has been completed generally through its second phase, including the complete upgrade of the chiller plant, replacement of the majority of the power distribution and substations and HVAC, lighting and ceiling upgrades to roughly 50% of the tenant the areas in the FOB. The project described by this document seeks to complete as close as possible the intent of the HPGB project as a "follow-on" comprised of the unfinished portions of the Degetau FOB. In general, this includes the work on upper floors 4-7 of the building from the original HPGB project. This work is expected to be presented for proposal with base, optional and alternate line items. The scope of work for the anticipated contract will be limited to the completion of the Degetau Federal Office Building. Follow-on project work in the Nazario Courthouse and the structure that links it to the FOB will be performed under a separate contract. The contractor may be required to interface with the Nazario Courthouse contract, since the two buildings share common systems, including, but not limited to the chiller plant, emergency power distribution, fire pump and BMS system. The offeror selected will be required to supply all labor, materials, equipment and supervision to perform the complete services as required by the Scope of Work under the resultant contract. Construction elements include but are not limited to building construction services, fire protection, lighting, mechanical and electrical upgrades, and asbestos abatement. A Pre-Proposal Conference will be held for the procurement. The date and time will be posted on FedBizOpps (estimated date is on June 15, 2016). The purpose of the conference will be to discuss the project and proposal requirements. Interested firms must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), in order to receive a contract award.
