This synopsis is exclusively to publicize information about a project opportunity for Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) services required for limited scope modernization work at the Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Service Center in Ogden, UT. Project Description This Pre Solicitation Synopsis is for CMc services for the existing Government owned, single-story IRS Service Center building. The project site is approximately 60 acres and is located at 1160 W 1200 S Ogden, UT. The building was originally constructed in 1965-1966. It consisted of the South Building, including all areas south of the Central Atrium and the Administrative Area. In 1968-1969, the North Building was constructed along with the Mechanical Room extensions and the enclosed south dock and warehouse spaces. The following year the Health Center was completed. The area known as "Caf West" and the exterior playground area were built in 1989-1990. The main entrance at Door "A" and the "Public Access entrance at Door "K" were added in 1992-1993. In 1994-1995, changes were made which extended the perimeter fence, added the north dock and mechanical room, constructed the west visitor's security building and installed security access shelters at the drive entrances. The latest renovation in 2000 involved upgrading the Child Care Center. The Main Building and property is not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The IRS Service Center is one of three mission critical facilities for the IRS, and is operational twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The building also houses an American First Federal Credit Union branch, Cafeteria Services and a Child Care Center. GSA has determined that the proposed repair and alteration project is the best solution for GSA and IRS in order to address critical needs, reduce future maintenance, improve life safety and efficiency, and minimize repair costs. Funding received for estimated cost of construction at award is about $30 million - $40 million. General CMc Statement of Work (SOW) The CMc contract will include three phases: Design Phase Services, Construction Services, and Construction Management Services. The CMc delivery method will allow full collaboration between the CMc contractor and the design contractor throughout the design process. Design phase services for the CMc will include the review of the IRS work item list and to help the architect/engineer (A/E), IRS and GSA prioritize these work items, and to allow the construction budget to maximize the number building improvements completed. The CMc will provide constructability reviews and cost estimating during this phase. In broad terms the Construction Services for this contract will include: general architectural construction (walls, ceilings, finishes), electrical upgrades, mechanical upgrades, fire and life safety upgrades, seismic bracing, roof replacement and paving upgrades. Construction Management services during construction will be performed by the CMc contractor. This will include but not be limited to: quality control, budget and schedule management, change order review, commissioning assistance, punch list and closeout assistance. Project Duration and Schedule GSA anticipates that the design phase will take one year, followed by a two year construction period. Fast tracking some of the work items will be encouraged, taking full advantage of having the CMc contractor on board during the early design phase. Anticipated Dates for Procurement of Project: Issue of Solicitation: June 2019 Proposals Due: July 2019 Short List Selection: August 2019 Second Phase Proposals/Interviews: August 2019 Contract Award: October 2019 Start of Design Phase Services: October 2019 Start of Construction Work and Construction Manager Services: July 2020 Projected Project Completion: July 2022 The anticipated dates in this synopsis are for informational and planning purposes and may be subject to change. NAICS: The NAICS code for this procurement is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with a small business size standard of $36.5 million. Subcontracting: In accordance with FAR subpart 19.702(a)(1), a subcontracting plan is required as part of the negotiated agreement for the project opportunity. Failure to submit a subcontracting plan may result in ineligibility for contract award. The requirements of a subcontracting plan are described in FAR subpart 19.704. Set-Aside: The Government has not made a decision about the type of set-aside. Interested contractors should reference the sources sought notice gsa47pj0019r_irs, which has been posted concurrently with this pre-solicitation notice as of the market research effort to determine whether to set-aside for a small business or small business socioeconomic contracting program. Contract Type: The base contract for design services is anticipated to be awarded at a firm-fixed price. The initial contract award will also include an Estimated Cost of Work (ECW) and proposed Fixed Fee. The ECW is set by the Government at $30 million - $40 million for the project. The Government will hold any available contingency allowance. The Fee for Construction Work includes the CMc's indirect cost, including overhead and profit for construction phase services. The fixed Fee For Construction Management Services includes, but is not limited to, any indirect cost, profit, quality control, quality assurance, budget and schedule management, change order review, commissioning assistance, and punch list and closeout assistance for construction management services. The ECW and Fee for Construction Work constitute the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). The GMP is inclusive of the proposed Fixed Fee. The ECW may adjust based on design phase services to negotiate a final ECW, but the Fee for Construction Work does not adjust. The GMP will be tracked through open book accounting that will be reviewed and monitored by GSA and A/E. The GMP is similar to a ceiling price described in FAR subpart 16.403-2, but is specifically tailored for CMc project delivery. After the parties have agreed to the scope at 100% completed design, the Government and the CMc may agree to bilaterally modify the line item for Construction Phase services and Construction Management Services from the GMP to a firm-fixed price. The firm-fixed price for construction phase services must not be in excess of the GMP. Construction Phase and Construction Management Services are only required if the Government elects to exercise the option. The Government reserves the right not to exercise the option for Construction Phase and Construction Management Services if the GMP exceeds $30 million - $40 million, there is no agreement on the scope, or if it is not in the Government's best interest. The project will still be in the design phase when the CMc contract is awarded; therefore, a firm-fixed price cannot be established for Construction Phase Services. The benefit of awarding the CMc contract for Design Phase Services prior to completion of design is that the firm will provide constructability reviews, project coordination, cost estimates, and other specified services to allow for full collaboration with the A/E, IRS, GSA, and other stakeholders during design. CMc also provides benefit through allowing certain construction activities to begin prior to design completion. Certain activities may be identified for fast track completion (e.g. demolition as an early work package) to deliver the project quicker than alternative methods of project delivery. Early work packages must be converted to a firm-fixed price once the scope is fully specified. Price: The GMP at award of the construction option is the sum of the final ECW and Fee for Construction Work and fixed Fee for Construction Management Services. The ECW is the estimated direct cost of the construction work. The ECW is set by the Government at $30 million - $40 million, and the target ECW is incorporated at award as part of the GMP. The final ECW is negotiated during design phase services and incorporated into the option for the construction services after 100 percent design completion. The Fee for Construction Work is the fixed amount established in the contract for all the CMc's indirect costs, inclusive of profit and overhead for the construction services. The Fee for Construction Work does not adjust based on the ECW. The fixed Fee for Construction Management Services includes, but is not limited to, any indirect cost, profit, quality control, quality assurance, budget and schedule management, change order…
