The scope of work for this project includes but is not limited to: the replacement of (4) hot water circulation pumps on the P-level and (3) on the 40th floor at the location referenced above, including the replacement of flow isolation valves and air separators and the installation of variable frequency drives and DDC controllers for the pump operation, monitoring and control which will tie into the existing building automation system. Timeframes for Definitization of Equitable Adjustments on Change Orders Notice to Prospective Offerors: The information required by FAR 36.211 regarding the definitization of requests for equitable adjustments related to change orders under construction contracts can be found at https://www.gsa.gov/constructioncontractadmin. The construction performance period is 90 upon receipt of notice to proceed. This procurement is a total small business set aside. The North American Industrial Classification Code (NAICS) is 236220 with a size standard of $45.0 million. The total estimated construction cost for this project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. This is a negotiated procurement; there will NOT be a public bid opening. The awardee will be competitively chosen using Source Selection (FAR 15.3) procedures. The objective of the Source Selection Process is to select a proposal that represents the best value to the Government. Evaluation factors will consist of experience, past performance, qualifications of key personnel, project management plan/approach and price. Non-price factors will be considered more important than price. As non-price factors become equal, price becomes the determining factor.

We consider attendance at this conference vital to the preparation of a competitive and cost effective proposal and to understanding the total result desired by the Government.
