Questions and Answers GSA Solicitation # 47PK01-19-R0009

Design-Build for the USMS Detention Refresh Project at the Phillip J Burton Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse

San Francisco, California July 3, 2019

1. Since this is a Design-build project, would GSA issue two NTP’s? (one for design and one for construction).

Response 1: Two NTPs will be issued, design NTP (to be issued at award) and construction NTP (which serves as an interim milestone and will be provided once the government deems that design is sufficiently complete for construction to start). Please note that the 522 calendar day period-of-performance for the project begins at design NTP and ends at substantial completion of construction.

2. If available, please provide plumbing as-built for the project areas.

Response 2:

No MEP as-builts for the current USMS configuration are available.

Therefore, site investigation will be required for design, as noted on page 5 of the Agreement. Also note that 52.236-3, Site Investigation and Conditions Affecting the Work, is referenced on page 7 of the Agreement.

For reference, all available as-builts for floors 15-20 will be provided to individual bidders upon request. These are being made available because they may be of some limited use in the design process - in conjunction with the bridging CAD drawings; the architectural and structural BIM to be provided to the awarded contractor; and the site investigation. Please Note:

these as-built drawings largely predate the last USMS cell block and office reconfiguration, may not be correct in many respects, and should not be used in lieu of site investigation for either bidding or design purposes.

3. Please provide contact information for the building’s maintenance contractor.

Response 3: Cesar M. Fontillas, Chief Engineer, cesar@dellew.com, Office

(415) 436 7171, Direct Line (415) 436 7946, Cell (415) 939 1914

4. Is there a proprietary vendor for Fire alarm, Security alarm and/or access controls in this project? If so, please provide contact information.

Response 4: Regarding fire alarm, please see response #10. For security and access controls contractors, please see response #13.

5. Please provide contact information for the building elevator’s maintenance company (Star).

Response 5: Rick Nieva, Star Elevator, 650.631.3999, rickn@starelevator.com

6. Will GSA provide a laydown area for the duration of the project?

Response 6: GSA will provide one room on the 20th floor for materials storage (approximately 600 square feet).

7. Is it acceptable to perform non-noisy work during working hours?

Response 7: Because it is likely that virtually any type of construction work will be noisy enough to disturb tenants, please assume all work must be performed after hours.

8. Is electronic commerce acceptable (email bids/offers)?

Response 8: No, please see Proposal Format section of the Solicitation.

9. Since attendance for the original site visit was limited to 4 individuals per company, would it be possible to conduct a secondary job walk with subcontractors?

Response 9: Yes, an additional site visit can be arranged. Please submit request to Chris Van Deusen chris.vandeusen@gsa.gov and provide a preferred date. Note: access to USMS or the Courts will be limited to 3 PM –

5 PM.

10. Who are the proprietary contractors for the fire alarm system and HVAC controls in the space?

Response 10: The building’s fire alarm system was installed by Simplex (recently acquired by Johnson Controls). Dellew currently operates the Building Management System (BMS) and Enovity, contracted by Dellew, maintains the BMS system and has provided BMS graphics and programming for other projects in the building. Note: Dellew should be contacted for the cost to provide support such as standby for shutdowns of any systems in the building. These costs are to be borne by the contractor.

11. Please provide the as-builts for the space and the floors above and below the floors where the work is to occur.

Response 11: See response #2.

mailto:chris.vandeusen@gsa.gov

12. Who is the current Elevator Maintenance Contractor?

Response 12: See response #5.

13. Who is the current Security Systems Contractor for the USMS?

Response 13:

Southern Folger recently served as the “GSA Detention Hardware Subcontractor” on similar USMS projects. Tyco has served as the “USMS Security Contractor” on similar USMS projects.

Please note on page 5 of the Solicitation: “The detention hardware subcontractor must provide the services described in USMS Publication 64, section A4 GSA Detention Hardware Subcontractor Responsibilities, and demonstrate the qualifications required therein.”

These are the GSA Detention Hardware Subcontractor qualifications excerpted from Publication 64:

• “Demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience in successfully completing projects equivalent in scope and magnitude to the work herein specified. Include a list of ten projects completed and in operation for three years, with the name and location of each facility, the date of owner occupancy, the owner’s representative and phone number, and the construction manager or subcontractor and architect.”

• “Provide a letter from the door hardware manufacturer stating that subcontractor is a factory trained and authorized installer of its equipment.”

Please note that the Design Services to be provided by the GSA Detention Hardware Subcontractor are described in Publication 64 directly below the qualifications quoted above.

Also, please refer to Publication 64 for the division of responsibilities between:

1) the “GSA contractor” (you) and the “GSA Detention Hardware

Subcontractor” (your subcontractor) and

2) the “USMS Office of Security, Safety and Health” and their “USMS

Security Contractor” (not you).

This division of responsibilities is summarized as follows in Pub 64:

GSA CONTRACTOR (YOU)

Generally speaking, Pub 64 calls for “the GSA contractor to provide: ■ Construction of the physical space, including walls, windows, ceilings, floors, and doors, and installation of lighting, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and HVAC systems. ■ Reliable sources of continuous, clean, and uninterrupted electrical power. ■ Conduit with pull strings, enclosed divided cable trays, mounting boxes, and security closets (but not signal cabling) for all computer, communication, security, and detention door control systems. ■ Electric strikes, where specified, in building-standard doors. ■ Installation (through the GSA detention hardware subcontractor, below) of the detention hardware and control system.”

“GSA detention hardware subcontractor. The GSA detention hardware subcontractor, as a subcontractor to the general contractor, is responsible for providing ‘turnkey’ operation of the detention hardware system, which includes the door controller, locks, hinges, pulls, closers, position switches, magnetic contact switches, and other devices necessary for complete door operation within the prisoner detention area. The subcontractor is also responsible for integrating the operation of the prisoner detention door controls with other security system controls in the USMS command and control center, and for all signal cabling between detention hardware and the control center. See A4.”

USMS CONTRACTOR (NOT YOU)

Generally speaking, “the USMS Office of Security, Safety and Health is responsible, through the USMS security contractor, for the installation of security equipment such as CCTV cameras, monitors, video recorders, intercoms, door control devices, and alarms throughout USMS spaces.”

“USMS security contractor. The USMS security contractor is responsible for the ‘turnkey’ operation and ongoing maintenance of the electronic security systems within the USMS portion of the courthouse. System components include CCTV cameras and monitors, intercoms, duress alarms, motion detectors, digital keypads and scramblepads; the control panels, monitors, and related equipment in the USMS command and control center; and all signal cabling except for detention hardware devices. See A3.”

Please reference Publication 64 for more details on division of responsibilities. Please reference the bridging documents for the scope of work for proposals.

14. Is a Hazardous Materials Survey available?

Response 14: See bridging Basis of Design (Section 2 F and Appendix B) and the bridging Specification (Division 02).

15. Please confirm how the technical factors are weighed in the evaluation of proposals.

Response 15:

As stated on page 43 of “The Solicitation”, the non-price factors are “listed in descending order of importance.”

1. Experience of SIMILAR PROJECTS

2. Scheduling and Management Approach

3. Past Performance on SIMILAR PROJECTS

16. Please confirm the page limitation of the entire Technical Proposal package, or the sub-sections of the Technical Proposal that have page limitations.

Response 16: There is no page limitation for the entire Technical Proposal.

Cover Letter is maximum 2 pages. Factor 1 is maximum two (2) double-sided pages. The Narrative for Factor 2 is maximum three (3) double-sided pages.

The total of parts 2-3 for Factor 2 is maximum 12 double-sided pages. (Error note: the Solicitation says “parts 2-5” of Factor 2 is max 12 pages, but there are only 3 parts. However, you may still use 12 pages if needed.)

17. Are completed CPARS assessments acceptable in lieu of Past Performance Questionnaires?

Response 17: No, Past Performance Questionnaires must be submitted as stated for Evaluation Factor 3.

18. The Division 1 specs indicate the working hours are as follows:

D. Contractor's Required Working Hours: The following work shall be performed during Government Unoccupied Hours:

1. Noisy and/or odor-producing work that may disrupt tenant operations in adjacent spaces.

2. While U.S. Courts are in session.

3. Work in cell block and prisoner handling areas shall be done outside of business hours and weekends. Work in squad room may be conducted during normal business hours.

Can GSA clarify what percentage of working will be required to be off hours?

Response 18: See response #7.

19. Are the elevators currently controlled by an Access Control System?

Response 19:

1. The four elevator controls upgrades must include remote control tied into the USMS control room panel on the 20th floor. There is currently no remote control for these elevators.

2. The existing elevators do have scramble pads (at hall stations and inside the car) and cameras that are tied to a USMS security server in the control room on the 20th floor. These devices are not in scope

(see response #13 and Publication 64), but pathways for them, as noted in Publication 64 and the bridging documents, are in scope.

20. Does the USMS have an existing Access Control System in this building?

Response 20:

The scope does not include the whole building. Please see the bridging documents for a clear understanding of the scope; bids should be limited to what is in the bridging documents.

Also, please see response #13 and Publication 64 for a clear understanding of the division of security work between the GSA contractor (you) and the USMS contractor (not you).

21. Are video improvements expected to be part of this SOW?

Response 21: No.

22. There is a spec section 013114 for BIM Modeling that seems excessive for this project. They even note the GC will have Navisworks to run conflicts. Will the BIM modeling be required for the contract?

Response 22:

BIM is a P100 requirement and is required for this project. GSA's BIM Guide Series, available at https://www.gsa.gov/real-estate/design-construction/3d4d-building-information-modeling/bim-guides/ provides additional information and requirements for specific BIM applications.

To simplify the BIM requirements, the following changes are made via this amendment and the revised bridging Specification is attached:

1. Remove paragraphs 1.3.C thru 1.3.D and 1.3.G thru 1.3.I of Specification section 013114.

2. Revise paragraph 1.4.E of Specification section 013114 to read as follows: “Integrate project record information into COBie as required by GSA's COBie Playbook (provided upon request).”

3. Remove Specification section 013600 Construction Operations Building information exchange (COBie).

23. We notice there are two sets of As-Built drawings requested, one at the outset of the project and a second at completion. Is the initial set intended to document the current conditions in the absence of existing as-built plans? (Reference paragraphs 3.1.1 and 3.2.1.2.10 in the SOW).

Response 23: A separate As-Built submission is not required at the outset of the project. The intent of paragraph 3.1.1 Site Inspection and Verification is to ensure that the as-built condition, as determined by site investigation, is incorporated into the 65%, 90%, and 100% CDs as required to complete the design, the construction, and the final as-builts.

24. How much of the existing systems is expected to remain in place?

Response 24: Systems to be removed are described in the bridging documents.

25. Is the holding cell door hardware expected to be reused?

Response 25: No. New doors and hardware are as described in the bridging documents. Please note that doors, door hardware, and door controls are not in scope for the 17th and 19th floor holding cells.

26. Are the CCTV, Holding Cell Control, Intercom, and Access Control systems all satisfactory?

Response 26: Bids should include only those systems and work included in the bridging documents. The work is summarized in the basis of design. Many of your questions may also be answered by reading Publication 64 which describes the design and construction work to be performed by the USMS Security Contractor (which is not you) versus the design and construction work to be performed by the GSA contractor (you). The bridging documents were based on the division of scope in Publication 64. See further explanation in response #13.

27. Are the CCTV cameras expected to be reused?

Response 27: See Publication 64; cameras are not in GSA’s scope nor included in the bridging documents. Bids should be based only on work described in the bridging specifications and/or drawings.

28. Do elevator controls already exist, or do they need to be implemented in coordination with the building Access Control system owner and Elevator manufacturer?

Response 28: See response #13, #19, and #20.

29. Evaluation Factor 2, Submittal Requirements, states that two CPM project schedules should be submitted. Are two CPM schedules required?

Response 29:

No, only one CPM schedule is required. The paragraph is changed by this amendment to read as follows (deletions are in red and additions are underlined):

1. Schedule

Provide two (2) one (1) CPM project schedule in sufficient detail to provide an overview of the planned sequence of major events* for each the project. The schedule should demonstrate an understanding and familiarity of the development requirements in the Solicitation, including items on the critical path and approach to successful and on time completion of the projects. An accompanying narrative** should describe how the proposed project will progress from the design Notice to Proceed through Closeout of each the project, and include a description of the critical path.

30. At the bottom of page 47 of the Solicitation, there is an incomplete sentence starting with the words: ‘The Government reserves the . . .’ What is the missing text?

Response 30:

The full sentence should read: “The Government reserves the right to contact the identified references provided in an offeror’s proposal should a survey not be received by the date proposals are due.”

31. The definition of “Similar Projects” references government office or commercial office buildings only. Will GSA modify its definition of “Similar Projects” to include institutional projects since most such projects include offices and have other features/building components that are relevant to offices?

Response 31: Yes, institutional projects are acceptable.

32. The definition of “Similar Projects” currently requires that each project meet all criteria listed. Since it may be difficult to provide examples of single projects that meet all of the criteria, will GSA consider the combination of experience demonstrated by the 3-5 projects submitted?

Response 32: No, a SIMILAR PROJECT must meet all 4 criteria of the definition in order to be considered.

33. The definition of “Similar Projects” is limited to renovation projects. Since new construction projects include multiple disciplines/trades and may be of equal complexity to a renovation project, will GSA modify its definition to include new construction projects?

Response 33: No

34. Will GSA consider project examples of subcontractors?

Response 34: No, SIMILAR PROJECTS will only be considered if Offeror performed as the General Contractor responsible for construction of the project submitted.

35. Can the RFP due date be postponed as part of the Amendment?

Response 35: Yes, the proposal due date has been extended to:
