This method permits evaluation of proposals based on price competition, technical merit and other factors; permits impartial and comprehensive evaluation of offerors' proposals; permits discussions if necessary; and ensures selection of the source whose performance provides best value to the Government.

This solicitation will consist of two (2) phases. Phase I is the pre-qualification phase and evaluation will be made to determine which offerors will proceed to Phase II. Up to five (5) firms will be pre-qualified under this Phase I RFP to participate and advance ONLY to PHASE II technical solutions and price. PHASE II PROPOSALS WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTED FROM THESE OFFERORS.

The Government intends on issuing the PHASE II RFP solicitation through the use of the Internet. All prospective offerors and plan rooms MUST register themselves on the web site.

This project consists of the design and construction of two (2) recruit barracks in Fiscal Year 2002 (FY02) Military Construction Program at the Recruit Training Center, Great Lakes, IL. The Recruit Barracks P-732 & P-733 shall be a total of approximately 33,400 square meters (16,700 SM each). This project includes infrastructure (roads, sidewalks, utilities, storm drainage, railroad underpass, landscaping, etc) for a 48.7-acre tract of undeveloped land adjacent to the existing RTC campus and other incidental related work to provide a complete and useable facility. Each Barracks will provide open bay housing for 1,056 recruits, classrooms, and a pre-prepared food service and dining facility. The Government will provide the design of a similar Barracks for site-adaptation. However, the successful proposer will be required to validate the design against RFP requirements and accept design responsibility (i.e. sign and seal design drawings and specifications by registered professional engineers and architects). This RFP also includes a series of options for additional recruit barracks as follows: Option 1: FY03, P-734 / 16,700 SM, Option 2: FY04, P-735 / 16,700 SM, Option 3: FY05, P-736 & P-737 / 16,700 SM, Option 4: FY06, P-738 / 16,700 SM.

Means Construction Cost Index for the Chicago area will be applied to each of the option years costs. The index information will be applied at the time the option is exercised to reflect changes in the local economy. The project also includes options for operation, maintenance, and repair of the entire HVAC system from beneficial occupancy of the 1st barracks through beneficial occupancy of the final barracks in Option 4. The OFFICIAL PLANHOLDERS LIST will be created by registration and be available from the web-site ONLY.
