REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS The General Services Administration (GSA) announces an opportunity for Design and Construction Excellence in Public Buildings. GSA will be using funds from the FY 2010 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for this project.

The new U.S. Federal Courthouse in Yuma, AZ will be located on a proposed site, procured through the Government, encompassing 2.8 acres within the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area along First Street, bounded by Madison Avenue and North Second Avenue. Prospective Offerors experience should include projects of similar scope and complexity. The estimated cost for the design-build delivery of the U.S. Courthouse in Yuma and related infrastructure upgrades is between $21,000,000 and $26,000,000. The U.S. Courthouse in Yuma is expected to be approximately 56,000 gross square feet (GSF) and will meet high performance green building design criteria.

The Phase One procedure (which is analogous to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is designed to select a "short list" of the most highly qualified Offerors who will be requested to submit Phase Two proposals (the short list will be published in FedBizOpps). All responsible sources may submit a Phase One Proposal. In Phase One, the Government will identify the evaluation factors other than cost or price that will serve as the basis for the determination of the most highly qualified Offerors. Interested Offerors will be required to submit their responses to the RFQ by the due date established in the RFQ. The Government will evaluate all the responses to the RFQ in accordance with the criteria in the RFQ, and advise each Offeror in writing whether it will be invited to participate in the Phase Two process. Offerors that do not submit a timely RFQ response in Phase One will not be allowed to participate in this phase. The RFQ will be released on or about April 8, 2010. In Phase Two, the Government will issue the RFP to the 3 (or 4 if the Contracting Officer determines 4 to be advantageous to the Government) most highly qualified Offerors from Phase One and request that they submit Phase Two proposals. Phase Two of the solicitation shall be prepared in accordance with FAR Part 15 and include Phase-Two evaluation factors, developed in accordance with FAR 15.304. Phase Two of the solicitation will require submission of technical and price proposals, which shall be evaluated separately in accordance with FAR Part 15. The Government will reserve the right to make an award upon the basis of the initial technical and price proposals without discussions.
