- Description
- The U. S. Postal Service is soliciting Qualification Statements from construction firms desiring to be placed on a list of prequalified design/build general contractors for construction of new or expanded postal facilities and major repair and alteration projects in southern California. This area extends from the southern California border up to and including the counties of San Luis Obispo, Kern, and San Bernardino. The buildings are expected to range in size from approximately 8,000 square feet to 50,000 square feet, with a construction cost of $1.0 million to $7.5 million and are categorized as Carrier Annexes, Postal Retail Facilities, Delivery Distribution Centers, Main Post Offices, Stations or Branches. No fixed mechanization is included in these projects. Only the most qualified contractors will be prequalified. To be considered for prequalification, respondents must demonstrate a minimum of five years of design-build experience and have completed a minimum of two comparable projects in the area over the past five years. Comparable projects are defined for the purpose of this solicitation as design/build new construction or expansion projects of commercial/light industrial type facilities with a minimum of 15,000 square feet in size and a construction cost of $2.0 million. Qualification Statements will be evaluated in accordance with the following criteria: experience and references (60%); organization (25%); safety (15%). Other factors that will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis are: background information, backlog, financial capability, bonding, banking, responsibility and affirmation. The Postal Service will issue individual project solicitations to prequalified firms. Each solicitation will request a fixed price proposal. Prequalified firms will have the option to submit a proposal for one or all of the projects as they become available. Prequalified firms are not obligated to submit proposals in response to a Postal Service solicitation. Awards of individual contracts will be made to the firm offering the best value to the Postal Service within available funding in accordance with evaluation criteria stated in individual project solicitations. The Postal Service retains the right to: (1) Delete from the prequalified list any design/build firm that is no longer deemed to be responsible or is otherwise ineligible to receive a contract award pursuant to the Postal Service Purchasing Manual. (2) Prequalify additional design/build firms that will be eligible to receive solicitations for facilities to be constructed, expanded, repaired, or altered. This right will be exercised when the number of existing prequalified firms is not sufficient to ensure adequate competition. (3) Issue open-market solicitations for specific design/build projects when determined by the contracting officer to be in the best interest of the Postal Service. The list of prequalified firms will have periodic maintenance for adding/deleting firms as required with a minimum review annually. This solicitation is a re-issue of a solicitation issued in FY02 and is part of the annual review process currently underway. Qualification Statement packages may be obtained by sending an email request to nancy.young@usps.gov or skip.lee@usps.gov or grace.b.zipagan@usps.gov. Qualification Statement packages will be sent via return email to the requestor.
