Phase-One: Request for Qualifications

CFLHD is issuing this RFQ for interested and qualified D-B firms/teams to submit a SOQ.

The Evaluation Board will review and evaluate the SOQs submitted by all Offerors, based on how well each meets the evaluation criteria.

A “shortlist” of no more than five of the most highly qualified Offerors will be selected and invited to participate in Phase-Two: Request for Proposals. Once the shortlist has been established, Offerors not shortlisted will be notified in a timely manner and offered the opportunity for a debriefing.

It is not the intent of CFLHD to receive specific design or engineering recommendations regarding the Project as part of the Phase-One process. Offerors should limit their SOQ and questions to the information required by this notice, and other information that may be relevant to the qualifications and experience of the Offeror. No reimbursement will be made for any of the Offerors costs associated with the preparation of the SOQ.

Phase-Two: Request for Proposals

The short-listed D-B firms/teams will be sent a Request for Proposal (RFP), which will outline the remainder of the selection process requirements. The RFP will contain the requirements necessary for the short-listed D-B firms/teams to submit both a Technical Proposal and a Price Proposal.

After receipt of the Phase-Two Technical Proposal and Price Proposal, an Evaluation Board will conduct a "best value" analysis. Attachment 4 contains the criteria to be used in the Phase- Two evaluation process. The Evaluation Board will submit their recommendation to the Source Selection Authority. Award of one firm fixed price contract is anticipated.

To promote innovation by the Offerors and to maintain flexibility of design and construction, CFLHD may allow submission of Alternate Technical Concepts (ATCs) in Phase-Two.

Each Offeror that submits a technically acceptable, but unsuccessful, Proposal will be entitled to receive payment for work products submitted with its Proposal. A proposal is deemed technically acceptable if it complies with all RFP requirements and contains no deficiencies as defined by FAR

15.001. The amount of the stipend payment will be $100,000.

I. INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

Description of Project The Lahaina Bypass 1B-2 phase starts at the southeastern termini of the previous bypass phase (Lahaina Bypass 1B-1) at Hokiokio Road and continues approximately 2.7 miles to the southeast to the proposed southern terminus at the Honoapiilani Highway (State Route 30). The preliminary design assumes the following major work items and approximate quantities:

Line Item Unit Estimated Quantity

Roadway Excavation CUYD 70,000

Roadway Embankment CUYD 500,000

Major Crossings (drainage and secondary roadways greater than 20-foot span) EACH 4

Minor Crossings (drainage less than 20-foot span) EACH 10

The work will take a place in an environmentally sensitive area and will require context sensitive design and construction approaches.

The primary objective of the proposed contract is to alleviate projected congestion on the Honoapiilani Highway (State Route 30), specifically through the small town of Lahaina. The project will relocate the terminus of the Lahaina Bypass to provide a long-term solution to shoreline erosion and coastal hazards, address the potential future increase in traffic congestion within the project corridor, and help to achieve long range transportation planning goals. The following efficiencies are also anticipated:

• Improve overall safety

• Increase capacity

• Eliminate roadside hazards

• Provide adequate clear zones

• Enhance operational function/Improve traffic flow

• Improve emergency vehicle response times

• Accommodate current and future traffic flows

The design and construction cost for the Project is estimated to be between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000.

The intent of the contract is to procure all design and construction services necessary to complete of the work described. Furnish all professional services, design, labor, material, equipment, tools, transportation, and supplies necessary to complete the work in accordance with project requirements, as specified in this RFP, and as supplemented by the Design-Builder’s proposal.
