Denise.Singletary@gsa.gov. Quarterly Notice The General Services
Administration (GSA) maintains a Prequalified Small Business
Contractors List for Construction Services (Prequalified Contractors
List) for the following geographic locations: Allegany, Erie, Monroe
and Onondaga. 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.
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
receiveelectronic 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. It is GSA
policy that prospective Public Buildings Service (PBS) contract
employees, custodians, guards, child care employees, construction
workers, etc. undergo a limited pre-employment background check. In
addition to the policy requirements in the GSA Contract Employee
Adjudication Guidelines, the GSA Federal Protective Service will
conduct a pre-employment criminal history check and a wanted person
check on all prospective contract employees by utilizing the Criminal
Justice Information System (NCIC and III). Interested small business
concerns should request an Application for Placement on the
Prequalified Contractors List. The information required via facsimile
or E-Mail is as follows: firm name, complete mailing address, and name
of the point of contact. Facsimile requests may be submitted to Kim
Hammer, Contract Specialist, and Denise Singletary, Contract
Specialist. Contact Kim Hammer, Contract Specialist (315) 448-0958;
E-Mail -- Kim.Hammer @ gsa.gov or Denise Singletary, Contract
Specialist (315) 448-0922; E-Mail-Denise Singletary @ gsa.gov.
Applications will be evaluated by GSA officials, and small businesses
will be advised within approximately 30 days whether or not they have
been placed on the Prequalified Contractors List. Posted 07/15/98
