The total space requirement consists of approximately 128,240 gross square feet for tenant agency backfill. The project will also include the abatement of hazardous materials within the project boundary, repairing structural and architectural deficiencies, modernizing building systems to create an efficient and comfortable working environment, adding approximately 9,000 gross square feet of joint use space, and creating a 65 space parking lot. The building will be designed and constructed in English units. The estimated total design/build cost is between $40,000,000.00 and $45,000,000.00 with occupancy planned for the year 2024. The scope of Design Build Services may include, but is not limited to, the following: design/construction documents and construction work, which consists of providing all labor, equipment, and materials for a complete build-out.

GSA intends to award a firm-fixed price design-build contract pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) two-phase design-build selection procedures (FAR Subpart 36.3).

For this contract award process, GSA will issue two solicitations in sequence: Phase 1 and Phase 2, respectively.

The purpose of Phase 1 (the Request for Qualifications) is to select the most highly qualified Offerors from Phase 1 to participate in Phase 2 (the Request for Proposals). Once Phase 1 is complete, the Contracting Officer will invite a maximum of three “short-listed” Offerors to submit Phase 2 proposals. Potential Offerors are hereby placed on notice that GSA will publicly announce the names of the Phase 1 “short-list” on the beta.sam.gov site.

Maximum Number of “Short-Listed” Offerors: The Contracting Officer will select a maximum of three (3) of the most highly qualified offerors to proceed to Phase 2.

Phase 2 of the solicitation is prepared in accordance with FAR Part 15 and will include the Phase 2 evaluation factors, developed in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.304. The Phase 2 solicitation will require the submission of both technical and price proposals, which are evaluated separately, in accordance with FAR Part 15.

At the conclusion of Phase 2, GSA intends to award a contract to a single Offeror for all design and all construction services.
