GSA Public Buildings Service, Acquisition Management Division, Florida Branch (4PQF) 501 E. Polk Street, Suite 805 Tampa, Florida 33602 is issuing a PRE?SOLICITATION NOTICE for a Request for Proposal (RFP), firm fixed price design-build construction contract to perform the work listed below in the project summary, to be included with the project Statement of Work (SOW). This acquisition is 100% set aside for 8(a) business concerns with bona fide offices located within the state of Florida under NAICS 238160, Low slope roofing installation roofing contractors (size standard $15 Million). The magnitude of the procurement is estimated to be between $1,000,000 - $5,000,000. Project Summary: The project involves the design, replacement, and improvement of roof cover systems at the Charles Bennett Federal Building, 400 West Bay Street, Jacksonville, Florida. The existing roof cover is severely deteriorated. During Hurricane Irma, the roof was severely damaged. Moisture migration and entrapment at the roof cover is disrupting tenant operations as well as precluding satisfactory thermal performance of roof insulation materials. In addition, the roof cover does not meet government and industry standards for energy and environmental conservation by the roof surface. The existing low-slope roof cover involves two (2) roof areas; Main building roof and penthouse roof both containing 36,770 square feet. The existing low-slope roof cover consists of a multi-ply asphalt roofing membrane system with a gravel cover and board insulation over a second multi-ply asphalt membrane on top of lightweight insulating concrete on metal decking atop a steel structure. The roof assembly also involves metal flashing and parapet caps; internal rain leaders; and associated sealants. It is assumed that asbestos containing materials (ACMs) are not present. This will be confirmed via testing completed by the design-builder in the investigative phase of the project. A change order will be issued for the removal of any ACMs, if found. The designer-builder shall design and construct appropriate repairs, replacements, and improvements of the low-slope roof cover, rainwater drainage systems, and joint sealant systems. New low-slope roof membranes are limited to atactic polyproylene (APP) or styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) modified bitumen roofing systems. The surface of the roof membrane shall be highly reflective. New joint sealants are limited to silyl terminated polyether, silyl modified polyurethane, and standard polyurethane and silicone sealants. Section 4 of this statement of work provides additional requirements for these new systems and components. This project requires construction and demolition (C&D) waste diversion plans, waste diversion monthly reports, and related documentation. The Designer-Builder shall also provide a web-camera surveillance system to monitor on-site work progress on low-slope roofs through project completion. In addition, the designer-builder shall provide a twenty-year (20-year), no-dollar-limit (NDL) warranty on all areas of low-slope roof replacements. The low-slope roof warranties shall include wind riders to cover damage caused by wind up to the design wind speed for the building location or up to 140 miles per hour, whichever is less. All work under this contract will be performed within the confines of the Bennett Federal Building. The bid guarantee in the amount shall be at least 20% of the bid price. Performance and payment bonds must equal 100 percent of the original contract price. A pre-proposal site visit will be conducted for this procurement. Details of the site visit will be available in the solicitation. Tentative solicitation issuance date is on/about 9 July 2019. The combined design and construction performance period for substantial completion is 180 days after notice to proceed. Contract performance anticipated to begin in late September 2019. Offerors should weigh project commitments to avoid conflicts when deciding whether to submit a proposal. The goal of this project is to complete roof replacement prior to the 2020 rainy season. No paper copies of this solicitation are available. Once the solicitation is posted, it is incumbent upon the interested parties to review this site frequently for any updates/amendments to all documents. Interested parties must be registered and current within the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov to receive a government contract award.
