Description

The project is for complete asbestos abatement and interior demolition of a nine-story office building with a partial basement/sub-basement below and mechanical/elevator penthouses above. The building area is 410,000 gross square feet. Estimated cost range: $3M -- $5M. Time for completion: 210 calendar days after receipt of notice to proceed. This is a competitive 8(a) Set Aside restricted to the SBA Region 7 area (NE, IA, KS & MO). The Government intends to use the "greatest value concept" in selecting the prime contractor. The "greatest value concept" is a method of evaluating price and other related factors specified in the solicitation, with the goal being to select the proposal that offers for greatest value to the Government in terms of performance and other factors. The objective is to select the proposal that offers the most for the money, not necessarily to select the lowest price. The Request for Technical Proposal contains the scope of work, drawings, and the Evaluation Factors. This RFP will be issued on or about 3-13-01. All requests for the RFP must be in writing. There will be a Pre-Proposal Conference on or about 3-29-01. Proposals shall be received in this office on or about 4-12-01. Specific date and time shall be specified in the RFP. Only one proposal may be submitted by each offeror. Offerors should submit proposals that are acceptable without additional explanation or information, as the Government may make a final determination regarding a proposal's acceptability solely on the basis of the initial proposal submitted. The Government may proceed with award of the contract without discussion. However, the Government may request additional information from offerors that it considers having a reasonable chance of being selected for contract award, and may discuss proposals with the offerors. The Government will evaluate all proposals. Two factors will be considered: a technical evaluation factor and price. The elements that make up the technical evaluation factor, in order of importance, are: (1) Experience and Past Performance of the Firm, (2) Qualifications of Key Personnel, (3) Management and Technical Approach and (4) Locality Experience. The price factor is not as important as the technical evaluation factor. As proposals become more equal in the technical merits, price becomes more important. Specification documents will be available on or about 3-13-01 from the General Services Administration at no cost. Contact 816-823-4911 or fax request to 816-926-3571. Technical questions should be directed to the Project Manager, Glen Essink at 816-823-4904. Any contractor or subcontractor performing asbestos removal shall satisfy special responsibility and shall provide bodily injury liability insurance written on the comprehensive form of policy of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence. Such coverage must encompass liabilities arising from work with hazardous materials involved. Any contractor or subcontractor performing building demolition shall satisfy special responsibility, provide bodily insurance (of at least $500,000 per occurrence) and provide property liability insurance (of at least $5,000,000) coverage written on the comprehensive form of policy. The Government will not indemnify against such risks. The proposed procurement listed herein is set aside for 8(a) competition.
