About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI · Jan 10, 2025

The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management is seeking a contractor to renovate the Siquirres Community Center in Limon Province, Costa Rica. The solicitation (No. 19AQMM25R0004) requires comprehensive renovation services, including demolishing existing structures, site preparation, constructing new building components, and installing electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and security systems. The contract is a hybrid firm-fixed price and cost-reimbursable arrangement, with contractors required to provide performance and payment bonds, maintain specific insurance coverages, and comply with local Costa Rican labor laws. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical expertise, personnel qualifications, project management capabilities, past performance, and available resources. The original proposal due date of December 13, 2024, was extended to January 24, 2025, with additional amendments providing responses to vendor questions and clarifying project specifications.

The project is not designated as a set-aside contract and falls under the NAICS category 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The contract has a 120-calendar day period of performance from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $77.60 per day for delays beyond the substantial completion date. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the independent government cost estimate suggests a project budget around $5,000. The work will be executed entirely in Siquirres, Costa Rica, with requirements for an English-speaking site superintendent and full compliance with local permitting and licensing regulations. Contractors must submit proposals in English with pricing in U.S. dollars, and the government may award the contract without further discussions if initial proposals are deemed acceptable.
