RICHARD BOLLING FEDERAL BUILDING RENOVATION (IMO10450)601 East 12th Street, Kansas City, Missouri

GS06P08GZC0003





The General Services Administration announces an opportunity for Construction Excellence in Public Building. The following document describes the Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) Contract for the continuation of a four-phase program to renovate an 18-story office building; the Interior Renovation of the Federal Building in Kansas, MO. The scope includes Pre-Construction Phase Services and the option for the Construction Phase Services. A Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract for the Pre-Construction Phase Services and a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Option with Construction Contingency Allowance for the Construction Phase Services is contemplated. The CMc will be competitively chosen using Source Selection (FAR 15.3) procedures. For this contract, technical evaluation factors, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price (see FAR 15.101-1 trade offs).



Definition of Construction Manager as Constructor: A CMc is defined as a firm engaged under direct contract to a building owner or client, in this case the General Services Administration (GSA), to provide design review, cost estimating, scheduling and general construction services. The CMc shall be a member of the project development team during the design and construction phases, along with GSA as owner/developer and GSA's A-E firm. At the time of contract award, the CMc?s firm price for pre-construction and pricing for construction phase services, will form the basis of the contract. In accordance with the successive targets, the CMc shall guarantee a maximum project price based on the facility described in the Government?s construction documents and Request for Proposal (RFP) package. The services requested of the CMc shall cover a wide range of design and construction activities, which are often performed by both Construction Managers (CM) and General Contractors (GC). In contrast to a CM that is not also a constructor, the CMc is responsible, through design review, involvement in the project development and administration of the construction, for constructing the facility described by the Government at or below the defined budget ? the project Estimated Construction Cost, or ECC.



Price Range: $70,000,000 to $80,000,000.

Approximately 96,151 gross square feet of the 1.2 million gross square foot building will be renovated in this project. Estimated award range is $70,000,000 to $80,000,000. Completion time is approximately 1700 calendar days after receipt of Notice to Proceed. To be considered eligible for award the contractor must meet the following minimum requirements.

The building will be occupied during construction.

Such coverage must encompass liabilities arising from work with the hazardous materials involved. The Government will not indemnify against such risk. Construction work disruptive to the tenants and building operations must be completed outside of normal business hours.



This is a competitive negotiated acquisition using source selection procedures. The Government intends to use the ?trade-off process? in selecting the prime contractor. The ?trade-off process? is a method of evaluating both the technical factors specified in the solicitation and the price. The Government intends to award the contract to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and is most advantageous to the Government, with technical factors being considered more important than price. The object is to select the proposal that offers best value. The RFP will consist of two packages to be submitted at the same time; a technical proposal and a price proposal. The elements that make up the technical evaluation factors, in order of importance, are (1) Past Performance of the Firm (including knowledge of local construction market), (2) Experience and Qualifications of Key Personnel, (3) Management Plan, and (4) Sustainable Construction Practices, Materials and Methods. Proposals will first be ranked according their technical quality. Price proposal packages of offerors will then be evaluated. Offerors should submit proposals that are acceptable without additional information, as the Government may make the final determination regarding a proposal?s acceptability based solely on the initial proposal submitted. The Government may proceed with the award of the contract without discussion. However, the Government may request additional information from offerors that it considers having a reasonable chance of being selected for contract award and may discuss proposals with the offerors. If discussions are necessary, the Government will establish a competitive range. Offerors who fall within the competitive range may be asked to submit a subcontracting plan and special competency requirements. As proposals become more equal in their technical merits, price then becomes more important. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation, and provides the combination of technical qualifications and price that is the most advantageous to the Government. The Government will evaluate all proposals that meet the minimum requirements.



The RFP includes a general scope of work and specifications, the Solicitation Provisions, the Proposal Submittal Requirements and the Evaluation Factors.
