J. Celebrezze Federal Building in Cleveland, Ohio. The A.J. Celebrezze Federal Building was constructed in 1966 and is a 32 story office tower located in the northeast section of downtown Cleveland on a plot of land bound by Lakeside Avenue on the north, East Ninth Street on the east and East Sixth Street on the west. The total building gross square footage is approximately 1,462,628 square feet; this includes the two basement levels and the 32 floors above grade. The office tower is set back approximately 121 feet from East Ninth and 29 feet from Lakeside Avenue. At ground level, the building is adjoined on all fours sides by public Plaza?s and landscaped with granite pavers and planting areas. The scope of the CMc services under this proposed contract includes Pre-Construction Phase Services and a unilateral option for Construction Phase Services. A firm, fixed-price contract is contemplated. The Government intends to evaluate price proposals according to the CMc?s cost of Pre-Construction Phase Services as the Base Contract and Construction Phase Services as an Option. The Government contemplates the Option pricing will be broken down, for evaluation purposes, into prices corresponding to: Construction Phase Construction Management Services, General Construction, Profit, Overhead, Daily Delay Rate, Subcontractor Commission, and General Conditions. A firm, fixed-price based upon the general construction services required will be negotiated prior to exercising the Construction Phase Option. The CMc will be competitively chosen using Source Selection Procedures (FAR 15.3). For this procurement, technical factors when combined are more important than cost or price. Project Summary: Selection of the CMc ? type firm will be in accordance with the federal acquisition regulations, source selection procedures and the ?Best Value Trade-Off? process. All elements of work to be executed must be within the congressionally mandated cost limitation. As part of the CMc Pre-Construction Phase, the CMc shall work with the A E and the Government in a cooperative team effort to ensure a quality project, within the mandated schedule and budget. For the Pre-Construction portion of this contract, GSA intends to have the contractor perform services such as: preliminary evaluation of design concepts, monitoring A-E progress, coordinating design reviews, reviewing designs, reviewing cost estimates, preparing independent cost estimates in various formats, controlling schedules, keeping records, reporting on design and construction progress, resolving problems, conducting Value Engineering (VE) exercises, conducting constructability reviews and performing administrative and other services as defined in this scope of work, in addition to other related services deemed necessary to provide for a completely functional facility. For the Construction Phase of this project, the major work items include the Restoration of the Exterior Building Plaza, Installation of a New Fire Life Safety System and Upgrading Existing HVAC and Building Automation Systems. Construction will be phased and the building will be occupied during construction process. All building systems will remain in operation during construction and the project phased to avoid disruption of occupants. The Total Estimated Construction Cost range is $25 million to $40 million. Of the Total Estimated Construction Cost, the Plaza portion of the work is estimated to be in the $12 to $15 million range and the HVAC and Fire Life Safety work is estimated to be in the same $12 to $15 million range. The construction duration will be approximately 30 months. This amount or duration does not include Pre-Construction Phase services (Base Contract). CURRENTLY FUNDS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE BASE CONTRACT. Definition of Construction Manager as Constructor: A CMc contractor is defined as a firm engaged under direct contract to a building owner or client (in this case the GSA) to provide services such as design review, cost estimating, sustainability review, scheduling and general construction services. The services requested of the CMc shall cover a wide range of design and construction activities which are often performed by both Construction Managers (CMs) and General Contractors (GCs). In contrast to a CM that is not also a constructor; the CMc is at risk and is involved with project development and administration of the construction. The CMc shall be a member of the project development team during the design and construction phases, working with the A/E and the Government to ensure a quality project, within the mandated schedule and budget. The CMc contractor will perform services including, but not limited to: evaluating design concepts, monitoring A-E progress, coordinating design reviews, reviewing designs, reviewing and preparing cost estimates, controlling schedules, keeping records, reporting on design and construction progress, conducting Value Engineering (VE) exercises, conducting constructability reviews, constructing the facility at or below the defined budget or Estimated Construction Cost at Award (ECCA), administering the construction contract and all subcontracts, coordinating construction meetings, CPM scheduling, monitoring construction costs and performing administrative and other services as defined in the scope of work to provide for a completely functional facility. At the time of the CMc contract award, which is projected to coincide with the Design Development Phase, project development shall occur in general conformance with the process described in the American Institute of Architects Document A121/CMc (also known as AGS Document 565) and ?Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager Where The Construction Manager Is Also The Constructor?. Proposal Submission Requirements: Proposals will be evaluated using the Source Selection Best Value Process. Offerors must submit information addressing the technical evaluation factors identified in the Request for Proposal (RFP) that will be evaluated by the Source Selection Board as well as pre-construction fees (base award) and a guaranteed maximum price for construction (option). With a competitive range established, the most qualified firms will then be invited to deliver an oral presentation that will take place in Chicago, IL. A ?best value, trade-off? process will determine which offer is in the best interests of the Government. For this procurement, technical factors when combined are more important than cost or price. The Government reserves the right to make an award based on initial proposals without conducting negotiations. Technical Evaluation Factors: Proposals will be evaluated using a two stage, source selection process. Under Stage 1, offerors must submit information regarding qualifications, past experience, past performance, personnel, and management plan. Submissions shall clearly address the evaluation factors identified in the Stage 1 Request for Proposal (RFP) as well as pricing for pre-construction and contruction. The evaluation factors stated in the RFP represent the factors that will be used by the Source Selection Board in evaluation and determination of a competitive range of firms. A competitive range of the most highly qualified firms will then be invited to deliver oral presentations for Stage 2. Firms determined to be in the competitive range shall participate in an oral presentation that will take place in Chicago, Illinois. The Government reserves the right to make an award based on initial proposals without holding discussions. Contract Award: The base contract will be awarded to the selected firm to provide Pre-construction Phase services.
