● Work in a building on the historic register;

● Construction cost greater than $100,000,000;

● Major (at least 50% of facade and windows included) façade and window restoration;

● CMc delivery method;

● Building size greater than 300,000 square feet; and

● An urban location with a constrained site with limited laydown and work area.

Phase II

Factor 4: Management and Technical Approach - Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Services

This factor will evaluate the project specific plan that the Offeror intends to implement in order to deliver successful CMc services for this project.

a. General description of the overall staffing that will be provided to successfully meet the requirements of the statement of work, including a breakdown/ratio of where the key personnel will perform their duties (home/field) and

b. Organizational Chart and Line of Authority for both the design phase, construction phase, and construction closeout (or post construction)

IV. Draft construction schedule and phasing plan

The Offeror must provide a proposed construction schedule in a Gantt chart format. The offeror must detail the proposed phasing of the project from base award through construction closeout. The Offeror shall be specific with providing details with the following items:

Small Business Utilization Form

Note: In accordance with FAR Part 19 (GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-19) the apparent successful Offeror shall be required to submit an acceptable small business subcontracting plan prior to award. Subcontracting plans are not required from small business concerns.

Price

Price Analysis. The CO will use Price Analysis to analyze the Offeror’s proposal to ensure that the final agreed-to-price is fair and reasonable. In performing Price Analysis, the CO may use, singly or in combination with others, the analytical techniques described in FAR 15.404-1 (GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-15), to ensure that the final price is fair and reasonable. The CO may request the advice and assistance of other experts to ensure that appropriate Price Analysis is performed. In accordance with GSAR 536.7103(b)(2), a Price Realism analysis is required and will be conducted.

Unbalanced Prices. Offers must include balanced prices. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high prices. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques. All offers with separately priced line items or subline items shall be analyzed to determine if the prices are unbalanced. If price analysis techniques indicate that an offer is unbalanced, the contracting officer shall: (i) Consider the risks to the Government associated with the unbalanced pricing in determining the competitive range and in making the source selection decision; and (ii) Consider whether award of the contract will result in paying unreasonably high prices for contract performance. An offer may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

Total Evaluated Price. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Total Evaluated Price will be calculated using the prices indicated in the Price Proposal, using the following contained in Section VI.E. of the solicitation.

Price will not be assigned a numerical weight, point score, or adjectival rating. The price proposals will only be considered after all technical evaluations have been completed. The price evaluation will be clearly documented by the SSEB and CO.

Project Labor Agreement (PLA) PLA Paired-Proposal Procedure. Each Offeror must submit a PLA Price Proposal with a completed Contract Price Form. The PLA must meet FAR 22.502-2(b) (GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-22) and FAR provision 52.222-33 (GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-22) and clause 52.222-34 (GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-22). Offerors may, but are not required to, submit a Non-PLA Price Proposal for the same scope of work. The two proposals must be identical except for the PLA and its direct effects on cost, schedule, or technical approach.

Offerors that do not submit a PLA Price Proposal are ineligible for award

If the offer including the PLA is the best value, GSA will award at the Offeror's proposed price.

If an offer not including a PLA is the best value, GSA will award at the Offeror’s non-PLA price without FAR provision 52.222-33 (GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-22) and clause 52.222-34 (GSA Class Deviation RFO-2025-22) included in the contract. Prior to making a best value determination, GSA will determine whether the price premium for use of a PLA is reasonable. If the price premium is reasonable, the evaluated PLA price will be used in the best value tradeoff.

Because the evaluated price already considers the value of PLAs, no further credit will be given in the cost-technical tradeoff. The evaluated PLA price will be calculated by reducing the proposed PLA price by the lesser of 10% or $15 million. PLA price premiums in excess of the lesser of 10% or $15 million may be found non-reasonable. If the price premium is not reasonable, the non-PLA price will be used in the best value tradeoff.

Oral Presentations:

Offerors will be required to make an oral presentation to the source selection Panel at the GSA Headquarters Building, located at 1800 F Street NW in Washington, DC. The presentation should demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the work to be performed under this proposed contract. This presentation will augment the written information included in the offeror’s technical proposal for Technical Factor 4 - Management and Technical Approach - Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Services.

The offeror’s oral presentation will be limited to 60 minutes in length, followed by, if deemed necessary by GSA, a question and answer session for any needed clarifications. Answers will be considered for evaluation purposes to supplement the technical proposal. The entire presentation and Q&A session will not exceed 90 minutes. All oral presentations will be transcribed via Google Gemini.

The oral presentation should be attended by the offeror’s key personnel and any other personnel as determined by the offeror (maximum 8). Please limit interview attendance to those personnel who will contribute constructively to the oral presentation and have a critical role in the successful delivery of the project.
