SOLICITATION NUMBER: P11PS00310PROPOSED ISSUE DATE: On or about June 24, 2011TITLE OF PROJECT: Visitor Education and Museum/Research Facility, Florissant Fossil Beds National MonumentDESCRIPTION: The project consists of a new 4,422-squarefoot visitor education & museum/research facility. Spaces inside will consist of a reception area, public toilets, exhibit area, paleontology lab, collections storage room, offices and storage. The scope includes demolition of an existing wood frame structure, minor excavation and overlot grading for the new project. Because fossil resources exist across the site, excavation will be limited and the building will feature a slab on grade with frost-protected shallow foundations, which is an unusual system in the United States. The building will be constructed of structural insulated panels (SIPS) with a wood frame roof supporting SIPS roof sheathing. The finished floor will consists of architecturally colored concrete with multiple colors. Two-story stone veneer piers will be constructed as accents around the main entrances. The project has been designed to achieve LEED Gold certification. The certification will be achieved by starting with a well insulated and tightly sealed building shell. The project will utilize passive and active alternative energy systems include daylighting, a radiant floor heating system using evacuated tube solar panels on the roof, a passive solar ventilation system, solar exchange air preheater, and a 10 kW photovoltaic array. In order to achieve the LEED Gold certification, a number of unusual products and procedures must be utilized during construction. The building shell will have to be tight enough to pass the blower door testing. Enhanced commissioning of mechanical systems will be required. Construction will need to utilize the latest sustainable materials and practices. This project includes, to the maximum extent practicable, use of recycled content materials, recovered materials and regional materials, low-emitting adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings, and composite wood products, and construction waste management. Demonstrated expertise with mechanical control systems and sensitivity to the interrelationship of all building components and systems is essential to ensure that the systems function compatibly and collectively to achieve the maximum energy benefits the building is designed to provide. Site work will include site excavation, grading, bringing utilities to the building site, coordination with local utility companies, on-site wastewater system, concrete walls, walkways, native landscaping, miscellaneous site amenities, and parking/roadway construction. The project will have a defined construction time frame. The contractor must be able to coordinate with other contractors under separate contracts, including working with an exhibit fabricator to properly configure the exhibit area, and facilitate installation of exhibits. Water and sewer contractors may be working in the area at times. This project will run for approximately 12 months, from November 2011 - November 2012, however, actual construction period will be variable depending on the contract award date and other possible associated factors. Final contract period of performance will be determined after contract award and Notice-to-Proceed is given. TYPE OF PROCUREMENT: A negotiated firm-fixed price contract will be awarded requiring submission of both a technical and a price proposal. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are approximately EQUAL in importance to price. In accordance with FAR Subpart 15.300, the government will select the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the BEST VALUE to the government, price and technical and other factors considered. This method permits evaluation of proposals based on price competition, technical merit and other factors; permits impartial and comprehensive evaluation of offerors' proposals; and permits discussions if necessary. The government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals at any time prior to award; to negotiate with any or all offerors; to award the contract to other than the offeror submitting the lowest total price; and to award to the offeror submitting the proposal determined by the government to be the most advantageous to the government.
