I. General Information

I.A. The Project

This project is for the design and construction of envelope and roof restoration of the Pacific Highway Land Port of Entry in Blaine, WA. The design-build scope of work includes all labor and materials required to provide design, engineering, construction, and other related services necessary to perform exterior restoration as identified in the 2016 project development study and in accordance with GSA goals and objectives in compliance with all applicable codes.

The Pacific Highway Land Port of Entry (LPOE) was constructed in Blaine WA in 1999 as a Design-Build acquisition effort under GSA's Design Excellence program. The Auto- Bus and Cargo/Warehouse buildings are constructed of a combination of aluminum curtain walls, glass, wood siding, corrugated steel, and glass and metal roofs. The LPOE is experiencing moisture infiltration problems due to multiple flaws in design and construction, apparent since the structures were built.

Multiple GSA investigations were conducted to document and analyze the consistent issues with moisture infiltration. The building envelope is determined to be responsible for the majority of the issues. Investigations of the envelopes show the cause is due to various discrepancies between the original design, as-built documentation and actual on-site conditions. GSA investigations stopped short of selective demolition investigations. GSA studies determined various instances of water infiltration, the majority having to do with various sealant and backer issues. There are instances of window and paneling installation issues, caused by years of unsuccessful envelope replacement and lack of detail in design.

Past studies have been conducted; including a formal Project Development Study (PDS) completed February 24, 2016. Previous studies, highlighted below, were aimed at investigating the source of water intrusion and building envelope concerns and formed the basis of the recently completed PDS study in 2016. The PDS includes an Executive Summary, Existing Conditions, Project Scope, drawings and specifications.

A Construction Management firm will be assisting the GSA with Construction Management Services including Design and Material Submittal Reviews, Schedule Management, Change Management, Quality Assurance, Commissioning and Close-out Management.

I.B. the Solicitation and Contract

III.H. Contractor Performance Information

(1) Evaluating Contractor Performance: The General Services Administration is using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) module as the secure, confidential, information management tool to facilitate the performance evaluation process.

CPARS enables a comprehensive evaluation by capturing comments from both GSA and the contractor. The website for CPARS is Contractor Performance Assessment

Completed CPARS evaluations are sent to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) which may then be used by Federal acquisition community for use in making source selection decisions. PPIRS assists acquisition officials by serving as the single source for contractor past performance data.

(2) CPARS Registration: Each award requiring an evaluation must be registered in CPARS.

The contractor will receive several automated emails. Within thirty days of award, the contractor will receive an e-mail that contains user account information, as well as the applicable contract and order number(s) assigned. Contractors will be granted one user account to access all evaluations.

(3) Contractor CPARS Training: Contractors may sign up for CPARS training. A schedule of classes will be posted to the CPARS training site (CPARS Training) and updated as needed.

http://www.cpars.gov/ https://www.cpars.gov/webtrain.htm

(4) Contractor Representative (CR) Role: All evaluations will be sent the Contractor Representative (CR) named on your award. The CR will be able to access CPARS to review and comment on the evaluation. If your CR is not already in the CPARS system, the contracting officer will request the name and email address of the person that will be responsible for the CR role on your award.

SOLICITATION DOCUMENT.

VI.E. 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.

VI.F. Total Evaluated Price

Total Evaluated Price shall be calculated using the prices indicated in the Phase 2 Price Proposal using the formula in the Phase 2 Solicitation.
