Synopsis:
The General Services Administration (GSA), Region 10 announces an opportunity for an Elevator Modernization at the Federal Building and U.S Post Office and Courthouse located at 825 Jadwin Avenue, Richland Washington 99352.  Interested parties are encouraged to register through FBO using the "Add Me to the Interested Vendors" link on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website.  Vendors are also encouraged to register to receive notices about this announcement by using the "Watch This Opportunity" link on the FBO website.  NOTE: GSA PBS Region 10 will NOT be maintaining a manual list of interested vendors.   The Solicitation will be all-electronic including amendments.  All documents will be posted on the electronic Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website at: www.fbo.gov, with secure access required for Sensitive but Unclassified Building documentation.  Access requirements will be provided in the Solicitation.


PROJECT BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION: 
The elevator system is original to the building that was constructed in 1964 and although some modifications have been made, the system has reached the end of its useful life.  Parts to repair the elevators are no longer manufactured and repairs cause the elevators to be taken out of service for extended periods of time.  The new elevator system will replace a majority of the existing service.

PROJECT SCOPE :
General Requirements:  GSA envisions a highly collaborative D/B delivery approach for this project.  The expectation is that the D/B Team will work closely with all the stakeholders to deliver a project that meets the expectations and needs of all stakeholders and GSA's requirements for a fully functional, code compliant vertical lift  system reflecting current technology and significantly improved reliability.

Specific Scope:  The contractor will be responsible for providing all management, design and engineering, materials, equipment, labor and other items necessary to upgrade/modernize the elevators.   This effort includes, but is not limited to: 

Conducting preliminary research and investigation, Meeting with stakeholders to further develop requirements, Conducting design review meetings at each stage of design submittals, Conducting value engineering sessions, and all construction and coordination efforts necessary to complete construction including; progress meetings, quality control, and commissioning.  

Elevator upgrades will include providing and installing new controls, generator sets, governors, hoist ropes, and traveling cables.  Freight Elevator will also include replacement of the geared traction machine with gearless traction and synchronous motor. 

The construction work will be accomplished while the facility is occupied; therefore, the D/B Team will be required to ensure minimal disruption to tenants and their mission, keep current systems in operation and keep facility and tenants safe and fully protected.  The construction work may also be performed concurrent with electrical upgrades that may require coordination with the electrical contractor.

The Federal Building and U.S. Post Office & Courthouse is listed on the Historic Register which may require SHPO coordination and compliance.

 
PROJECT MAGNITUDE: 
Between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000.

COMPETITION: Restricted. 
This procurement will be open to small business firms.  Any qualified responsible firm, including small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business is encouraged to participate as a prime contractor or as a member of a joint venture with other small businesses.  Any firm proposing as a joint venture will be required to provide additional documentation regarding its joint venture agreement during the solicitation phase. 

The NAICS for this procurement is 238290 and the Size Standard is $15.0 Million.

PROJECT DURATION:  
The total expected project duration including design and construction is estimated to be 1 year.

PROCUREMENT STRATEGY:  
The Design Build contractor will be selected using the Best Value Source Selection process pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation FAR subpart 15.101-2 Lowest Price Technically Acceptable technique following issuance of a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) on www.fbo.gov.  For this contract award process, GSA will issue one Solicitation.  The Government will identify the evaluation factors developed in accordance with FAR 15.304 that will serve as the basis for the determination of the Offer which provides the best value to the Government.  Interested Offerors will be required to submit their responses (including both technical and price proposals) to the RFP by the due date established in the RFP.  The Government will evaluate all responses to the RFP in accordance with the criteria in the RFP.  The Government will reserve the right to make an award upon the basis of the initial offers without discussions.
