Z -- PREQUALIFIED CONTRACTORS LIST DUE 093098 POC Doug Loga717-221-4457 E-MAIL: doug.logar@gsa.gov, doug.logar@gsa.gov. The General Services Administration (GSA) maintains a Prequalified Small Business Contractors List for Construction Services (Prequalified Contractors List) for the following geographic locations: DAUPHIN, YORK, CUMBERLAND, FRANKLIN, LEBANON, AND LANCASTER COUNTIES IN PENNSYLVANIA. The Prequalified Contractors List is being used by GSA for a two year test period ending March 31, 1999. Should the Test of the use of the Prequalified Contractors List prove to be successful, GSA may continue to utilize, update, and maintain the list. The Prequalified Contractors List will be limited to small business contractors, including small disadvantaged business and small women-owned business concerns, interested in performing building repair and alterations work (construction services) for the GSA that have met certain minimum qualification standards regarding experience and past performance, capability to provide bonding or other payment protections for subcontractors, and to meet other requirements regarding conducting business electronically. The Prequalified Contractors List is used for projects costing more than $2,000 but less than $100,000. General construction contractors as well as major trade contractors ( i.e., electrical, painting, asbestos removal, demolition, etc.) may apply for placement on the Prequalified Contractors List. The Small Business Act requires that purchases between $2,500 and $100,000 be reserved for small business concerns unless a determination is made that there is no reasonable expectation of obtaining quotations from two or more small business concerns that will be competitive in terms of price, quality and delivery. In addition, Congress designated GSA as one of the agencies to participate in the Small Business Competitiveness Demonstration Program. Under the program, procurements of $25,000 or less are reserved for emerging small businesses if there is a reasonable expectation of obtaining quotations from two or more emerging small businesses that will be competitive in terms of price, quality, and delivery. Therefore, contractors must be a small business concern in order to qualify for placement on the Prequalified Contractors List. Once a requirement for construction services is identified GSA will only solicit quotes from firms on the Prequalified Contractors List for purposes of performing the individual construction projects. Small businesses placed on the Prequalified Contractors List will receive electronic notification via E-mail or facsimile of contracting opportunities within the above referenced dollar range and will be invited to submit a quote either by E-mail or facsimile. Interested small business concerns should request an Application for Placement on the Prequalified Contractors List by contacting Doug Logar, Buildings Manager, at 717-221-4457. Facsimile requests may be submited to Doug Logar, Buildings Manager, at 717-221-2234. E-mail requests can be sent to Doug.Logar@gsa.gov. Applications will be evaluated by GSA officials and small businesses will be advised within 30 days whether or not they have been placed on the Prequalified Contractors List. Posted 07/02/98. (0183)
