SOURCES SOUGHT ***This is a request for interested parties only, this is NOT a request for proposals*** The U.S General Services Administration, Great Lakes Region, is issuing a Sources Sought Announcement for a Job Order Contract (JOC) at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse, JCK Federal Building, Loop Station Post Office, Metcalfe Federal Building, and Federal Building located at 536 S. Clark Street in Chicago, Illinois. This sources sought synopsis serves as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in the requirement below. The General Services Administration (GSA) is considering utilization of Job Order Contracting (JOC) as a government-wide contracting method to procure minor construction repair and renovation services. GSA envisions awarding a long term JOC contract for the above referenced facility to a qualified company, so that Federal Agencies can then leverage for project delivery via establishment of short term (single project) task orders. The type of JOC we envision is a competitively bid, fixed unit price and rate multiple-year, single award construction contract, wherein qualified companies agree to provide a broad range of possible routine, non-complex repair/renovation projects based on pre-established unit prices and rates. Contract line items and unit prices would be defined by a construction unit price book (UPB) or similar extensive list (reference list) and a multiplier or coefficient applied to the reference unit prices. The reference lists/UPBs are often referred to as construction catalogs or automated cost databases, and most established UPBs have a city cost index to localize pricing. The multiplier or coefficient reflects overhead, profit, general and administrative costs, uncertainty in costs, etc. The resulting contract unit prices (i.e., reference list item prices x coefficient) are then used to price construction task orders that are within the scope of the JOC contract. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AT THIS TIME.
