Procurement Overview of the Project: In accordance with Public Law 104-106 (41 U.S.C.

253m, the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (EFLHD) is conducting a "two phased" D-B selection process for the FGGM. Under this Notice, the EFLHD is soliciting D-B firms/teams to participate in Phase One – Qualifications Based Selection – of this "two phased" D-B selection process.

A selection evaluation board will review and evaluate the Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) submitted by all responsive D-B firms/teams (Offerors). The selection committee will select a maximum of three (3) of the most highly qualified Offerors to participate in Phase Two of this D-B selection process based on the established RFQ evaluation criteria. During Phase Two, those Offerors short-listed will be sent a RFP, which will outline the remainder of the selection process requirements. The RFP will contain the requirements necessary for the short-listed Offerors to submit both a Technical Proposal and a Cost Proposal during Phase Two. Those Offerors will be required to provide the necessary information to the EFLHD within approximately 50 calendar days after receiving the RFP. A site visit/pre-proposal meeting will be held within approximately the first 21 calendar days of this Phase Two period to provide additional information. A copy of the draft RFP will be available to interested Offerors during Phase One.

After receipt of the Phase Two Technical and Price Proposals, an Evaluation Board will conduct a "best value" analysis, and submit their recommendations to the Selection Official for approval.

Award of one Firm Fixed Price contract is anticipated by approximately May 22, 2012, with Notice to Proceed issued by approximately July 2, 2012. Construction is to be completed by August 31, 2013.

It is not the intent of EFLHD to receive project specific design or engineering recommendations as part of this Phase One selection process. Offerors should limit their SOQs 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 expenses associated with the preparation of Phase One SOQs.
