The U.S. Postal Service plans to issue a Fixed Price Contract to complete a Security Upgrade project located at the North Texas P&DC, 951 W BETHEL RD, COPPELL, TX 75099-5000. All work will be done in accordance with USPS approved specifications and drawings. The estimated cost range of the project is $1,200,000.00 to $1,600,000.00 with construction completion within 270 calendar days from receipt of notice to proceed. Contractors must submit a Qualification/Evaluation Package with their price proposal. Only the most qualified contractors will be considered. To be considered, a company must meet the following minimum requirements: (1) LICENSE(S): Suppliers must submit a copy of any State or Local Government Agency’s General Contractors license. If a project resides in a State that does not require a General Contractors License, submit a copy of your local government agency license and a signed statement certifying that only licensed subcontractors will be utilized on USPS projects. (2) Contractors must have been in the construction business for a minimum of five consecutive years as of the date of this solicitation. There is no requirement that eligible contracting firms remained the identical entity for the five-year period, although legal entity changes (such as from a partnership to a corporation) that occurred during this five-year period should be clearly explained, and if key personnel were retained, this should also be clearly explained. (3) Contractor must be capable of obtaining performance and payment bonds for 100% of the contract price. (4) Contractors must provide evidence of their current EMR rating on insurance company letterhead. If the EMR rating is greater than 1.0, the contractor must provide a written explanation from its insurance carrier along with evidence of your previous two years EMR ratings on insurance letterhead. An EMR more than 1.5 may be grounds for eliminating a firm from further consideration by the evaluation team. (5) Company must submit information for three comparable projects that have been completed within the past five years. Comparable projects are defined as projects with similar scopes of work and costs of $750,000.00 or more. The Qualification / Evaluation Package will be evaluated in accordance with the criteria stated. The price proposals for only the most highly qualified contractors will be considered. The Postal Service is more concerned with obtaining superior technical and management features than with making an award at the lowest overall price. However, the Postal Service will not necessarily make an award at a significantly higher overall price to achieve slightly superior technical or management features. The evaluation factors outlined in Section 2-26.2 of the Supplying Principles and Practices, listed in descending order of importance, will be used in the evaluation of proposals.
