This Synopsis is a Presolicitation Notice for the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service, Northeast and Caribbean Region. This notice is neither a solicitation announcement, nor a request for proposal or related documents. Project Description: This Presolicitation Notice is for Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) services for the Major Building Modernization project located at the Silvio J. Mollo Federal Building (Mollo) at 1 Saint Andrews Plaza in New York, NY. At the end of this project, the U.S. Department of Justice - Attorney’s Office (USAO) Criminal Division, which will be temporarily relocated to the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building at 26 Federal Plaza, in New York will move back to Mollo. The CMc shall be a member of the project development team during the design and construction phases of the project, working with the Government's selected Architect-Engineer (A/E), Construction Manager as Advisor (CMa), and the Government representatives to ensure a quality project, within the mandated schedule and budget. The CMc contract will include two phases of work: Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Services. The CMc will perform Design Phase Services including, but not limited to: scheduling, estimating and providing cost information, performing functionality and constructability reviews, developing construction sequencing and phasing plans, value management, risk management, and engagement and coordination with stakeholders, municipal offices and state agencies such as the New York City Department of Transportation, the New York City Department of Buildings, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, the City’s Department of Citywide Administrative Services and the New York City Police Department. The construction portion of the project will include a complete exterior envelope replacement (including the façade and roof), and addressing seismic, structural and blast mitigation deficiencies. The project will modernize Mollo’s vertical transportation, mechanical, electrical (normal and emergency), plumbing, fire protection and security infrastructure. In addition, the project will include a new security screening pavilion, accessibility upgrades and integrated main entrance. As part of the Construction Phase Services, the project will provide new interiors for the USAO and other Department of Justice offices. The project also will provide a new mechanical plant to provide chilled water and high-pressure steam service to the adjacent Department of Justice – Federal Bureau of Prisons’ Manhattan Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC). Contract Type: The contract type will be Fixed-Price-Incentive. The base contract for design services is anticipated to be awarded at a firm-fixed price. The initial contract award will also include an Estimated Cost of Work (ECW), CMc Contingency Allowance (CCA), and proposed Fixed Fee. The ECW is set by the Government at $140,000,000 to $150,000,000 for the project. The ECW is the estimated cost of the construction work, not including the vendor’s administrative overhead expenses. The CCA is an allowance to cover reimbursable costs during construction that are not the basis of a change order. The Fee for Construction Work is the amount established in the construction contract for the CMc's profit and administrative overhead expenses for the Construction Phase Services. The sum of the ECW, CCA, and Fee for Construction Work constitute the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). The GMP is inclusive of the proposed Fixed Fee. GSA may adjust the ECW based on design phase services to negotiate a final ECW, but GSA will adjust the Fee for Construction Work. The GMP will be tracked through open book accounting that will be reviewed and monitored by GSA and the CMa. The GMP is similar to a ceiling price described in FAR 16.403-2, but is specifically tailored for CMc project delivery. After the CMc and GSA have agreed to the scope at 75% design completion, the Government and the CMc may agree to bilaterally modify the line item for Construction Phase Services from the GMP to a firm-fixed price. The firm-fixed price for Construction Phase Services must not be in excess of the GMP. Construction Phase Services are only required if the Government elects to exercise the option. The Government reserves the right not to exercise the option for Construction Phase Services if the GMP exceeds $195,000,000 - $205,000,000, if there is no agreement on the scope, or if it is not in the Government's best interest. The project will still be in the design phase when the CMc contract is awarded; therefore, a firm-fixed price cannot be established for Construction Phase Services. The benefit of awarding the CMc contract for Design Phase Services prior to completion of the design is that the firm will provide constructability reviews, project coordination, cost estimates, and other specified services to allow for full collaboration with the A/E, CMa, GSA, USAO, other U.S Department of Justice Offices, and MCC officials. CMc also provides benefits through allowing certain construction activities to begin prior to design completion. Certain activities may be identified for fast track completion (e.g. demolition as an early work package or facade mock-ups) to deliver the project quicker than alternative methods of project delivery. Early work packages must be converted to a firm-fixed price once the scope is fully specified. Price: The ECW range is set by the Government at $140,000,000 - $150,000,000, and the target ECW is incorporated at award as part of the GMP. The final ECW is negotiated during Design Phase Services and incorporated into the option for the construction services after 75% design completion. The Government and CMc may agree to GMP line items for early work packages that must be converted to a firm-fixed price. The construction services option is adjusted for the cost of the work packages through the reduction of the ECW by the fixed-price amount of the cost of those work packages, and the GMP is adjusted downward, as appropriate. Selection and Schedule: This requirement will be procured under Full and Open Competition in accordance with FAR Subpart 6.1. The selected offeror will be competitively chosen using Source Selection Procedures in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.3.
