- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. A SOLICITATION, SPECIFICATIONS, OR DRAWINGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. The purpose of this sources sought notice is to conduct market research to assist in determining whether to set this acquisition aside for small business, 8(a), HUBZone small business, or service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns. Any interested small business, 8(a), HUBZone small business, or service-disabled veteran-owned small business concern may submit a capabilities statement demonstrating its ability to perform the requirement. The capabilities statement should conform with the instructions provided below. THE REQUIREMENT: The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), anticipates a requirement for Construction Manager as constructor (CMc) services for the renovation of Building 1 (B1R) on NIST's campus in Boulder, Colorado. The NAICS code for the proposed acquisition is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, and the Small Business size standard is $33.5 million. The project is planned to be announced in the fall of 2010 with an award anticipated for the spring of 2011. The estimated price range of this project is $50,000,000.00 to $80,000,000.00. The performance period for this project is estimated at one thousand ninety five (1095) calendar days after the written Notice to Proceed. The proposed NIST B1R project is a necessity for NIST's continued long-term support of US industrial competitiveness in the world market. The B1R will provide extensive renovation of approximately three fourths of Building 1, including Wings 3, 4, 5, 6 and a portion of the Center Spine. This will provide 150,000 net assignable square feet of high performance laboratory space to perform research and measurements needed by industry and the scientific community. The B1R consists of enhanced temperature control down to +/- 0.5 degree C, humidity control to +/- 5%, continuous air flow with filtration to class 10,000, and new service corridors to provide lab support space for utilities in addition to the pedestrian corridor. The building will be occupied throughout the construction process. Electrical elements included in the renovation will address components such as lighting, power distribution, power quality, electromagnetic interference, and standby emergency power for critical laboratory functions. The B1R will locate the bus ducts in the service corridors. Chilled water, steam, and compressed air will be supplied from the Boulder site Central Utility Plant. Communication elements that will be addressed include infrastructure components such as telephone cabling and fiber optic networks for data. Life safety and building security elements in the renovation include components such as fire alarm systems, fire sprinkler systems, and building access control. Renovation design and construction will comply with the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and will be submitted for LEED certification for existing buildings. Renovation design will comply with ADA Standards for accessible design as most recently revised. The renovation will provide a facility that will allow NIST to advance measurement science, standards and technology beyond current constraints. Electronic, optical, radiation, chemical and information technologies will be supported. The renovation will support key technology areas such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, new energy sources, computing and telecommunications in a high performance facility. Environmental and space requirements for the B1R are based on extensive programmatic studies of NIST's technically demanding scientific programs, many of which directly or indirectly support US competitiveness. The building environmental requirements for programs slated for the B1R are not being effectively and economically met with laboratory space currently occupying a structure dedicated in 1954. CMc: The CMc shall provide pre-construction phase services and construction phase services. The CMc's contract will consist of a firm fixed price basic requirement for pre-construction phase services and optional requirements for construction phase services for the exterior and interior divided amongst the wings and sections of the building, which will be awarded with a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) not to exceed $80,000,000 for all options. Pre-Construction Phase Services shall include, but may not be limited to, review and evaluation of concept, design development and construction documents, constructability review, sustainable design review, consultation during construction document production, preliminary project schedule development, recommendations on phased construction, cost estimates, development of subcontractor and supplier interest, and identification of long-lead items. Also included in this phase will be the development of a migration plan for Building 1 occupants emphasizing minimal impact to NIST's core mission during a multi-year phased construction. Construction Phase Services shall include, but not be limited to, administration of the construction contract (whether the work is performed with the CMc's own forces or under subcontract), coordination of regular construction meetings, CPM scheduling, daily logs and monthly reports, monitoring of construction costs, record keeping, progress reporting, schedule control, inspections, testing, and other required supplemental LEED services. The CMc shall review all construction document submissions for constructability and ensure conformance to the project budget. The CMc shall review A-E cost estimates, shall provide independent cost estimates and recommend adjustments to the estimates or the design to assure that the project stays within budget. The CMc shall provide NIST with sound management advice regarding the approach to the project, how to achieve the best value in the work being accomplished, necessary actions, schedule control, alternative ideas, problem/claim prevention, and budgeting. The CMc shall have a full understanding of the project, its contract documents, the principles of Federal construction contracting and contract administration. The CMc shall have complete responsibility for construction of the project.
