The Site Visit shall be limited to not more than four (4) representatives from each Offeror. Offerors shall submit a Visit Authorization Request (VAR) identifying all attendees from their respective team. Participants must have a valid, Government issued picture identification, driver's license preferred, to gain access for the pre-proposal Site Visit. Notification of the location of entry, where attendees are required to meet, and all other requirements for the Site Visit will be issued to the Offerors. Submit the VAR to the point of contact listed below I The Design and Construction Division in the Southeast Sunbelt Region of Public Buildings Services of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is presently soliciting proposals from qualified Offerors desiring to compete in the procurement process for the subject Design-Build project. This Full and Open procurement is advertised to Design Build contractors located only in Georgia. The project delivery method being used is Firm Fix Price (FFP). The contract type is Design Build. The Design Build Contractor is responsible for the Design-Build Contract and shall be responsible to ensure that all requirements for design and construction are met. The Design-Build Contractor provides Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Work. GSA intends to contract for Design Phase Services with an option for Construction Phase Work for Repairs and Improvements to Storm Drainage and Moisture Protection Systems at the Pedestrian and Service Tunnels at the Atlanta Sam Nunn Federal Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The Design-Build Contractor that offers the best overall value to the Government will be awarded the contract. Design Phase Services are expected to commence upon award of the contract on or about July 2016. The Optional Construction Phase Work is anticipated to be exercised within 90 days of award. The designer-builder shall design and construct appropriate repairs and improvements of the storm drainage and moisture protection components at this area. The existing building envelope at this area involves cast-in-place concrete floor slabs, roof decks, and foundation walls. The roof assembly over the tunnels involves split slabs with bituminous waterproofing membranes in the split. The roof deck above the pedestrian/utility tunnels serves as a portion of the main plaza area and has pavers installed as the top surface above a waterproofing membrane and protection board. Where the exterior sides of foundation walls are backfilled, waterproofing membranes and associated drainage boards and/or protection boards are installed against the walls. The stormwater drainage adjacent to this area involves cast iron, ductile iron and PVC pipe of various sizes. The work will be completed in two (2) phases.. Named after a former Georgia U.S. Senator, the Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center (SNAFC) was constructed in 1997 and is located in downtown Atlanta. The SNAFC is adjacent to the Richard Russell Federal Building Courthouse and the Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Building. The facility is comprised of four buildings: the high rise tower with twenty five floors, the midrise with eleven floors, the bridge with six floors and the Historic Rich's building with seven floors. The Government intends for the work to be accomplished in multiple phases. The estimated cost range is between $500,000 and $1,100,000.00 for combined services (Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Work.). The North American Industry Classification System Code(s) (NAICS) for this procurement is 236220. The Design-Build Contractor will be competitively chosen using Source Selection (FAR 15.3) procedures. There are two components of work to be performed under this Contract: Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Work. The Design-Build Contractor is required to complete the Design Phase and Construction Phase Services for the firm-fixed-price presented in the procurement process. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). It is a great likelyhood that these line items may be exercised Ninety (90) days after receipt of Notice-to-Proceed (NTP) with Constructions Services. Offerors should provide cost for all Option Construction Line Items. " Design Phase Services" means the design phase construction management services, constructability reviews, cost estimate reconciliation services and other related services as described in the scope of work provided in the RFP. Construction Phase Work" means all work and services, including general conditions, necessary for the construction of the project described by the plans, specifications and other provisions incorporated into the RFP, excluding Design Phase Services. A best value concept will be applied for evaluation of offers and selection of the successful Offeror for this procurement. The best value approach provides the opportunity to select an Offeror who is not necessarily the lowest-priced or the highest technically-ranked. GSA will select the proposal that represents the best value based on the evaluation of technical factors and price, with technical factors being weighed more heavily than price. Request for Proposals (RFP) - Proposals will be evaluated and scored according to technical evaluation factors included in the RFP. The technical proposals will be reviewed and evaluated prior to and separately from the review of price proposals. As part of the evaluation, the Contracting Officer and Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) may conduct interviews. However, the Government reserves the right to evaluate proposals and make award without discussions or oral presentations (clarifications may be made as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror's proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms. Final selection will be made based on technical factors being weighted significantly more than price (price being represented by the Offeror's proposal for Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Services). If interviews are conducted, firms will be interviewed at GSA's Region 4 offices in Atlanta, Georgia, by members of the SSEB. The following criteria represent the factors that will be used by GSA's Source Selection Evaluation Board in evaluating proposals. Factor 1 considers past performance of offerors in design and construction of similar projects. Factor 2 considers Specialized Experience and technical competence on similar projects. Factor 3 considers Technical Approach. Factor 4 considers Qualifications of Key Team Members. The factors below in descending order of importance will be used to evaluate all proposals: Factor 1: Specialized experience and technical competence Factor 2: Past Performance of Offeror Factor 3: Technical Approach Factor 4: Qualifications of Key Team Members Factor 1: Specialized Experience and Technical Competence.
