- Description
- Veach-Baley Federal Building Fire Alarm Statement of Work dated 7 October 2014 The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Southeast Sunbelt Region 4 announces the opportunity for a Design-Build (DB) Construction Contract for Replacement Fire Alarm System in the Veach-Baley Federal Building, 151 Patton Avenue, Asheville, NC 28801. This is a repair and alteration project for the design and installation of a new fire alarm in an existing building. The goal is to increase the level of life safety provided in this building by replacing the existing, obsolete fire alarm system. The new fire alarm system is to be voice evacuation-type system that meets the current requirements of the applicable codes and standards. The objective is to design and install a new fire alarm system and remove the existing fire alarm system. This project will progress in the following sequence: Design, Review and Construction. After the final design drawings have been reviewed and commented on by GSA, the corrected documents will serve as the basis for beginning the construction work. The estimated price range is between $1,000,000.00 and $5,000,000.00. The Design-Build (DB) Contractor shall provide a proposed project schedule. The Small Business Size Standard for NAICS Code 236220 is $36,500,000.00 in average annual receipts over the past three (3) years. Award will be based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) Source Selection Process. GSA anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price contract to the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable contractor. The Government would rank proposals based on price, and then evaluate the lowest-priced proposal for technical acceptability. If the lowest-priced proposal was determined to be unacceptable, the new lowest-priced proposal would be evaluated. This would continue until an award is made to the lowest-priced propoasl found technically acceptable. FAR 15.101-2 describes the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process as follows: (a) The lowest price technically acceptable source selection process is appropriate when best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price. (b) When using the lowest price technically acceptable process, the following apply: (1) The evaluation factors and significant subfactors that establish the requirements of acceptability shall be set forth in the solicitation. Solicitations shall specify that award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. If the contracting officer documents the file pursuant to 15.304(c)(3)(iii), past performance need not be an evaluation factor in lowest price technically acceptable source selections. If the contracting officer elects to consider past performance as an evaluation factor, it shall be evaluated in accordance with 15.305. However, the comparative assessment in 15.305(a)(2)(i) does not apply. If the contracting officer determines that a small business' past performance is not acceptable, the matter shall be referred to the Small Business Administration for a Certificate of Competency determination, in accordance with the procedures contained in Subpart 19.6 and 15 U.S.C. 637(b)(7)). (2) Tradeoffs are not permitted. (3) Proposals are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-cost/price factors. (4) Exchanges may occur (see 15.306). A selection will be made off of the following solicitation factors: 1.
