Background and Overview

This project is funded in part by Section 60503 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), which provides funding for purchase of construction materials with substantially lower levels of embodied greenhouse gas emissions.

GSA’s IRA Low Embodied Carbon asphalt, concrete (and cement), glass and steel requirements establish numeric global warming potential (GWP) limits for certain EPA-approved construction materials:

concrete (and cement), asphalt, steel, and glass (IRA-Eligible Materials). For each material, GWP limits have been established for the best performing 20% of materials in terms of embodied carbon (Top 20% Limits), the best performing 40% of materials in terms of embodied carbon (Top 40% Limits), and better than industry average (Better Than Average Limit).

This Evaluation Factor calls for Offeror commitments to furnishing IRA-Eligible Materials with the lowest possible GWP values. IRA Limit commitments proposed under this evaluation factor will be incorporated into the successful offeror’s resultant contract.

Individual materials’ GWP values may be found on individual manufacturers’ environmental product declarations (EPDs). EPDs must meet the standards reflected in GSA’s IRA Low Embodied Carbon asphalt, concrete (and cement), glass and steel requirements (see Compliance Documentation criteria listed for each IRA-Eligible Material).

Technical Acceptability and Scoring

Offerors will only meet the standard for technical acceptability under this Factor if they commit to furnish all required IRA-Eligible Materials with a GWP better (lower) than each IRA-Eligible Material’s Better Than Average Limit.

Offerors meeting the standard for technical acceptability will receive a number of Raw Scores, one for each IRA-Eligible Material required by the Contract:

• Offerors will receive a Raw Score of 100 for each IRA-Eligible Material commitment that is better (lower) than GSA’s Top 20% Limits.

• Offerors will receive a Raw Score of 40 for each IRA-Eligible Material commitment that is only better (lower) than GSA’s Top 40% Limits.

• Offerors will receive a Raw Score of 20 for each IRA-Eligible Material commitment that is only better (lower) than GSA’s Better Than Average Limit.

Offerors shall complete the “IRA Sustainability Factor Table” attached to this solicitation by filling out the applicable IRA Limit they commit to meet for each IRA-Eligible Material. Based upon the offeror’s selection in the “IRA Limit Commitment” column, the associated Raw Score, the Weighted Score, and the Total Weighted Score will be automatically calculated.

In addition, for each IRA-Eligible Material identified in the IRA Sustainability Factor Table, offerors shall submit EPDs listing that material’s GWP. Such EPDs must meet the standards reflected in GSA’s IRA Low Embodied Carbon asphalt, concrete (and cement), glass and steel requirements (see Compliance Documentation criteria listed for each IRA-Eligible Material).

Note 1: By submitting an offer, Offeror consents to unrestricted GSA use of supplier names and the GWP values associated with supplier materials. Such information may be disclosed publicly or used to inform other low embodied carbon procurement activities. Technical solutions, supplier pricing and supplier-offeror terms and conditions will not be shared. Any objection shall be transmitted to the Contracting Officer by the due date for offers and shall adhere to 41 C.F.R. § 105-60.601.

Note 2: For each offeror that is unable to submit any of the compliant EPDs by the proposal due date, the offeror shall submit a statement for each such missing compliant EPD certifying that it is unable to submit the compliant EPD by the proposal due date. Failure by an offeror to submit any compliant EPD or its certification (as described in the immediately preceding sentence) by the proposal due date shall result in the offeror’s proposal being unacceptable and the offeror being ineligible for award.

The contract resulting from this solicitation shall have the following provision: “Within 180 days after contract award, the Contractor shall submit a compliant EPD for any IRA-eligible Material for which the Contractor was unable to submit a compliant EPD by the proposal due date. Such EPD must reflect GWP values that comply with the IRA Limit Commitments incorporated into the contract. GSA shall not issue a Notice to Proceed with construction services to the Contractor until the Contractor has submitted a compliant EPD for each IRA-eligible Material for which the Contractor was unable to submit a compliant EPD by the proposal due date. In addition to other remedies available to the Government, if the Contractor fails to comply with the 180-day requirement in this paragraph for submission of compliant EPDs, GSA shall have the option to cancel the contract for the construction services at no cost to either the Contractor or GSA.

Cancellation of the contract for the construction services by GSA under this paragraph shall not relieve the contractor of its obligation to provide GSA with a completed design in compliance with the contract.

The design completed by the contractor in compliance with the contract shall be property of GSA and may be used by GSA to, among other things, obtain construction services under a separate contract with another contractor.”

5.) Request for Proposal (RFP), Solicitation Section III.B., Requests for Clarification or Interpretation.

The revised due date for Requests for Clarification or Interpretation is 05/10/24. The Government will not warrant that requests received past this date will be answered.

6.) RFP, Solicitation Section VI.F., Non-Price Factors; Standard for Evaluation; (5) Sustainability. The following is added as Note 2:

Note 2: If an EPD is not available, GSA will review the offeror’s statement certifying inability to submit a compliant EPD by the proposal due date.

1.) The due date for Phase I proposals is extended with this amendment from Thursday, May 9, 2024 at 2:00 pm local Boston time to Thursday, May 30, 2024 at 2:00 pm local Boston time.
