THE REQUIREMENT: The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), anticipates a requirement for Construction Manager as constructor (CMc) services for the renovation of Building 1 (B1R) on NIST's campus in Boulder, Colorado. The NAICS code for the proposed acquisition is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, and the Small Business size standard is $33.5 million. The project is planned to be announced in the spring of 2011 with an award anticipated for the summer of 2011. The estimated price range of this project is $50,000,000.00 to $80,000,000.00. The performance period for this project is estimated at one thousand ninety five (1095) calendar days after the written Notice to Proceed. The B1R project will provide a facility that will allow NIST to advance measurement science, standards and technology beyond current constraints. Electronic, optical, radiation, chemical and information technologies must be supported. The renovation will allow key technology areas such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, new energy sources, computing and telecommunications in a high performance facility. Environmental and space requirements for the B1R are based on extensive programmatic studies of NIST's technically demanding scientific programs, many of which directly or indirectly support US competitiveness. The building environmental requirements for programs slated for the B1R are not being effectively and economically met with laboratory space currently occupying a structure dedicated in 1954. The proposed NIST B1R project is a necessity for NIST's continued long-term support of US industrial competitiveness in the world market. The B1R will provide extensive renovation of approximately three fourths of Building 1, including Wings 3, 4, 5, 6 and a portion of the Center Spine. The exterior work will include the building structure, roofing, doors and windows, exterior wall finishes, site utilities, and landscaping. The building is multi-storied and will be fully occupied throughout the renovation. This renovation will provide new renovated space of 150,000 net assignable square feet of high performance laboratory space and offices to perform research and measurements needed by industry and the scientific community. There will be approximately fifty laboratories renovated and seventy office spaces. Both of these are areas are approximately seven hundred square feet. The laboratory space is Level III or class room 10,000. The high performance for B1R consists of enhanced temperature control to +/- 0.5 degree C, humidity control to +/- 5%, continuous air flow with filtration to class 10,000, and new service corridors to provide lab support space for utilities in addition to the pedestrian corridor. The building will be occupied throughout the construction process. The CMc will be responsible for the move coordination, and the actual move of the tenants (approximately 500 employees) throughout the building, throughout the entire project. Electrical elements included in the renovation will be lighting, power distribution, power quality, electromagnetic interference, and standby emergency power for critical laboratory functions. The CMc will be responsible for locating the bus ducts in the service corridors which contain the chilled water, steam, and compressed air supplied from the Boulder site Central Utility Plant. Communication elements include infrastructure components including the telephone cabling and fiber optic networks for data. Life safety and building security elements in the renovation include the fire alarm systems, fire sprinkler systems, and building access control. Renovation design and construction must comply with the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and will be submitted for LEED certification for existing buildings. CMc: The CMc shall provide pre-construction phase services and construction phase services. The CMc's contract is anticipated as a firm fixed price basic requirement for pre-construction phase services and optional requirements for construction phase services for the exterior work that includes building structure, roofing, doors and windows, exterior wall finishes, site utilities, and landscaping along with interior work that will be divided amongst the wings and sections of the building, which will be awarded with a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) not to exceed $80,000,000 for all options. The four wings of the building (wings 3, 4, 5, 6, and the spine) include laboratory space and office space. The spine of the building only contains offices as well as the main thoroughfare for the utilities as they enter the building and are dispersed throughout the entire building. Pre-Construction Phase Services shall include: but may not be limited to, review and evaluation of concept, design development and construction documents; constructability review; sustainable design review; consultation during construction document production; preliminary project schedule development; recommendations on phased construction; cost estimates; development of subcontractor and supplier interest; and identification of long-lead items. Also included in this phase is the CMc's development of a migration plan for Building 1 occupants emphasizing minimal impact to NIST's core mission during a multi-year phased construction. This plan and coordination will include the five hundred employees who currently occupy the building. Construction Phase Services shall include, but may not be limited to; administration of the construction contract (whether the work is performed with the CMc's own forces or under subcontract), coordination of regular pre-construction and construction meetings; CPM scheduling; daily logs and monthly reports; monitoring of construction costs; record keeping; progress reporting; schedule control; inspections; testing; and other required supplemental LEED services. The CMc shall review all construction document submissions for constructability and ensure conformance to the project budget. The CMc shall review A-E cost estimates, shall provide independent cost estimates and recommend adjustments to the estimates or the design to assure that the project stays within budget. The CMc shall provide NIST with sound management advice regarding the approach to the project, how to achieve the best value in the work being accomplished, necessary actions, schedule control, alternative ideas, problem/claim prevention, and budgeting. All contractors doing business with the Government are required to be registered at the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and the On-line Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA). To register with the CCR and ORCA and become eligible to receive an award, all offerors must have a Dun & Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) identifier. A DUNS number may be acquired free of charge by contacting Dun & Bradstreet at 800-333-0505 or on line at https://www.dnb.com/product/eupdate/requestOptions.html. If the requirement is set aside for small business, the awardee shall comply with FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting (Dec 1996), which states in relevant part, "(b) By submission of an offer and execution of a contract, the Offeror/Contractor agrees that in performance of the contract in the case of a contract for...(3) General construction. The concern will perform at least 15 percent of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials, with its own employees."
