RFQ D/B - CMS Back on Campus Phase III

Through its Design Excellence Program, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) commissions our nation's most talented creative professionals to design outstanding federal workplaces. These projects embody an exemplary integrated process whose results deliver enduring value to taxpayers. GSA defines quality as the thoughtful expression of artistry, local culture, and democratic values like civic participation, accessibility, and transparency, achieved in balance with affordability, constructability, reliability, and industry-leading sustainable performance. Design Excellence is the means by which GSA realizes the Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture, which President Kennedy authorized in 1962, and it is one of the agency's primary vehicles for catalyzing positive, inclusive change in local communities. Continuing this legacy of world-class public architecture, GSA announces an opportunity for Design Excellence for the CMS Back on Campus Project located at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in Woodlawn, Maryland. The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS) assists CMS in carrying out their master plan for their campus in Woodlawn, MD. This effort is for Phase 3 of the master plan, which is to renovate their campus and bring employees back on campus from surrounding lease locations. The GSA has contracted NKB to prepare a program of requirements for the renovation of the third floor of the north building (N3) as well as the scope for the north building elevators. The program includes interior renovation of typical office space and training and conference areas. The north building has five passenger elevators and one freight elevator. This project includes the five passenger elevators. GSA intends to award a firm-fixed price design-build contract for this renovation. GSA intends to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a Design Build (DB) contract for the required Design Build Services. The scope provides for integrated architectural, engineering, construction, testing, commissioning, and other related services necessary to renovate an existing facility that is compliant with GSA standards, applicable codes, and regulations. The design solution shall improve upon the previous two phases of renovations. The project shall be accomplished under GSA's Design Excellence and Construction Excellence programs with an approach founded on the use of a collaborative design-build delivery approach that depends on the trust and collaboration between the project stakeholders, consultants, and project delivery team. This project goals and objectives shall be achieved through the experience and leadership of the Lead Designer. The project shall attain high-performance spaces that demonstrate the merit of true integrated design, harmonizing aesthetics, cost, constructability, and reliability to enhance productivity and creativity inclusive of design solutions that address system durability, ease of maintenance, and lower operating costs for both the office space and the elevators and provide design solutions that address system durability, ease of maintenance, and lower operating costs for both the office space and the elevators. The Government will issue a single solicitation covering both phases of the Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures set forth in FAR 36.3. In Phase 1 technical qualifications will be evaluated to determine which Offerors will submit proposals for Phase 2. Three (3) Offerors will be short-listed and invited to submit Phase 2 proposals. Those unsuccessful offerors participating in Phase 2 will be paid a stipend of up to $50,000 to offset the costs associated with the preparation of required conceptual designs. In Phase 2, using the best value trade-off procedures described under 15.101-1 and 15.3, the Government will evaluate the technical and price proposals of the firms short-listed as a result of the Phase 1 selection. Per FAR 52.215-1 (ALT I), Instructions to Offerors-Competitive Acquisition, it is the Government's prerogative to award a contract without discussions (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror's initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions with those firms identified in the short list, if the Contracting Officer determines discussions are necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the short list exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the short list to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.
