This is a Sources Sought announcement to survey the market for information to be used for preliminary procurement planning purposes. This is not a request for proposals. The information received will be used within the General Services Administration (GSA) to facilitate the decision-making process. The intent of this Sources Sought Synopsis is to identify potential qualified Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) firms including Small Businesses, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) certified 8(a) Businesses, SBA certified HUBZone Small Businesses, Women-Owned Small Businesses, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses that have the qualifications and demonstrated experience to complete this project. This notice does not represent a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or award a contract. The project is currently in the design phase. Hattiesburg Project Description: GSA is conducting a repair and alterations project for the William M. Colmer Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse (Colmer CT). The Colmer CT is a fully occupied building located at 701 North Main Street in Hattiesburg, MS. The facility serves the Eastern District of Mississippi and houses a senior U.S. District Judge, a U.S. Magistrate Judge, two visiting District judges, and a visiting Bankruptcy judge, judicial support staff, a U.S. Probation Office, and the U.S. Marshals service. The Colmer Courthouse was constructed in 1974 and is three-stories plus basement and has approximately 60,000 usable square feet. The Courthouse is located in close proximity to the Hattiesburg downtown historic district and is eligible for the national historic register. The primary purpose of the project is to improve physical security, repair the deteriorating exterior envelope, and upgrade multiple building systems. The project will address various security-related deficiencies. Specifically, the project will include new and improved separate circulation paths, a new sallyport, a new detention-grade prisoner elevator, upgrades to a secure judges elevator, new courtroom holding cells, and upgrades to lobby screening to ensure compliance with USMS standards. The project will also address needed repairs and upgrades to the exterior envelope, multiple building systems to include the fire life safety systems, and interior upgrades to public facilities.The building will remain fully occupied and operational during this project. CMc Delivery Method Overview: This project is being delivered using the Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) delivery method which is similar to the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method, wherein the CMc acts as the General Contractor and is responsible for delivering the project within an agreed upon Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). Under CMc, the Government awards a separate contract to an architect/engineer (A/E) firm to complete the design, and brings the CMc on board during design to provide input schedule, budget, and constability to help inform design decisions as the design progresses. As part of the CMc solicitation phase, the Government will request a GMP proposal prior to the completion of the design. It is for this reason that GSA desires to survey the market for qualified CMc firms with a demonstrated history of success utilizing this delivery method.
