Description

U.S. LAND PORT OF ENTRY EXPANSION, YSLETA BORDER STATION, EL PASO, TX. Solicitation No. GS-07P-06-HHC-0130. The General Services Administration (GSA) announces an opportunity for public construction and is soliciting written expressions of interest from qualified general contractors desiring to compete in the procurement process for the referenced project. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this procurement is 236220. The size standard is $31 million per year. This is a HUBZone set-aside procurement. HUBZone firms shall submit a one page letter of interest on company letter head. This letter shall include a statement of interest, number of personnel that will attend the Pre-proposal conference and a signed Document Security Certification (uploaded on FedBizOpps) with a copy of a valid business license. Letters and certification are due to the office of the Contracting Officer no later than October 5, 2006. Send documentation to the attention of Diane Henderson, Contracting Officer, General Services Administration (GSA), (7PMA), Room 12B01, 819 Taylor St., Fort Worth, Texas 76102 or dianna.henderson@gsa.gov. GSA retains the right to publish and distribute the list of offerors to other interested parties (i.e., subcontractors, etc.). The Estimated Construction Cost at Award for the project is $10,000,000 to $20,000,000. The Request for Proposal (RFP) is scheduled to be issued on or about October 5, 2006 via FedTeds (https://www.fedteds.gov/). Firms must send the letter of intent with the security certification to gain access to the documents. A Pre-Proposal Conference and site visit is tentatively scheduled to be held October 18, 2006 in El Paso, Texas to answer questions that offerors may have concerning the project, specifications, drawings and technical evaluation criteria. Attendance at the Pre-proposal conference is not mandatory. GSA intends to contract for complete construction services with the construction contractor that offers the best overall value to the Government by demonstrating a commitment to construction excellence, by providing and maintaining a viable team organization and by adherence to the budgetary and time parameters for this project. The scope of this project includes but is not limited to the construction to expand the port of entry from 160,766 rentable square feet (rsf) to 193,076 rsf. The project proposes increases in the pedestrian and vehicle primary area, the import lot area, and additional site security and parking. The facility will provide a total of 201,093 gross square feet and 412 outside parking spaces to meet the projected increases over the next 10 years in pedestrian and vehicular traffic at the port of entry. The project is designed to comply with a Certification Level according to the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED), Rating System. The offeror selected shall be required to supply all labor, materials, equipment and supervision to perform the complete services as required by the Scope of Work under the resultant contract. The contractor will be chosen competitively utilizing FAR Part 15 Source Selection procedures in conjunction with the Best Value/Trade-off process. Based on the complexity and importance of this project, the Government deems it to be in its best interest to consider award to other than the lowest priced offeror. Therefore, combined technical evaluation factors will be significantly more important than cost or price. The final price will encompass all-inclusive costs for the entire project including the administrative cost of processing change orders throughout the course of this project. The Government anticipates the award of a Firm Fixed-Price Contract (see FAR Part 16.202), based on a final negotiated or accepted price, to the contractor that offers the best overall value to the Government. Any scope changes by the Government that result from the pre-proposal conference or any other discussions may be incorporated into the Scope of Work at any time prior to the final request for price proposal submission at no recompense to the offeror(s). The technical factors are tentatively as follows: (#1) Past Performance on Similar Projects; (#2) Experience on Similar Projects; (#3) Experience and Qualifications of Key Personnel; and (#4) Detailed Management Plan and Technical Approach. Proposals will be due on or about November 9, 2006. All questions/clarifications regarding the project documents (drawings, specifications, procedures, etc.) shall be put in writing and submitted to the Contracting Officer no later than close of business October 30, 2006. Production costs and proposal preparation costs are at the expense of the offeror. All correspondence in response to this announcement must clearly indicate the Solicitation Number GS-07P-06-HHC-0130. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PRICE OR TECHNICAL PROPOSALS.
