PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE

Solicitation No.: xxxx

GSA intends to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a Design-Build (D-B) contract for the Building 53 Limited Scope and Tenant Backfill project. This acquisition encompasses the design and construction of the office and related space within Building 53, located on the Denver Federal Center campus (Lakewood, Colorado) which is bound by Kipling Street to the east, 6th Avenue to the north, Simms Street to the west, and Alameda Avenue to the south.

The Denver Federal Center campus is a secured campus. Although open to the general public, a valid government issued ID must be presented at each entry point guard station.

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.

Stipend: In consideration for the preparation of a Phase 2 technical proposal, GSA will pay a stipend to Offerors not selected for award of the resulting contract. Offerors that submit incomplete or unacceptable Phase 2 proposals will not be eligible for the stipend. For the avoidance of doubt, no stipend is paid during Phase 1.

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

This procurement will be solicited via full and open competition in accordance with FAR part 15 based on market research.

The Phase 1 Request for Qualifications will be issued electronically on or about February 1, 2021 via the internet at www.beta.sam.gov.

GSA will host a conference for interested Offerors:

Date: Thursday, February 11th, 2021 Time: 1:00 PM Mountain Time Location: Building 53, Denver Federal Center, Lakewood, Colorado West 6th Avenue and Kipling Streets

Note: the conference has been cancelled.

Prospective attendees are encouraged to register their company with the GSA contact listed below via email by February 9, 2021 for all individuals to attend.
