The project shall include a renovation of approximately 8,725 SF. The project will require work performed in an occupied building without disruption to the operations of the tenants. The goal of this project is to completely renovate and refurbish the existing seventh floor FHWY Office within the Leo O’Brien Federal Building per the contract documents. To accomplish this the FHWY office will be temporarily relocated to unoccupied GSA space within the building while construction and renovation activities are performed. It is anticipated that an initial phase of demolition can occur followed by flooring abatement after which the remaining work will ensue. Upon selection of a GC they will prepare and submit a schedule to illustrate the best approach for work to be accomplished. The base contract shall include asbestos abatement and construction work that is disruptive. These efforts are to be performed during non-working hours as such not to interrupt the buildings operations or operation of building occupants. Work that is not disruptive can take place during regular business hours. This requirement will be solicited for Full and Open Competition, and the Government shall select the contractor under FAR Part 6.1 Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code associated with this procurement is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction.

This project shall be performed by an experienced Contractor that has performed similar work. The estimated performance period is 318 calendar days. The magnitude of construction for this project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. The procurement method that will be implemented for this project will be in accordance with FAR Part 15.1-Source Selection Processes and Techniques. This project is a competitive acquisition utilizing the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) selection process. The government will evaluate technical responses using three evaluation factors to determine the proposal that best meets the requirements of the government. The vendor's experience, past performance and staffing plan are acceptable/unacceptable factors. If a vendor does not meet the criteria for the prior experience factor, or the past performance, and receive an unacceptable, it will receive no further consideration under this acquisition.
