EXT MOH | 1515 S Van Ness GMP

Guzman Construction Group, Inc. (GCGI) in partnership with Marinship JV is soliciting final hard bids from qualified subcontractors for all trades involved in the 1515 South Van Ness project, a 100% affordable housing development in San Francisco. The project entails demolition of an existing commercial building and construction of a nine-story Type IA residential building featuring 168 affordable units, residential services, common spaces, an early learning center, and nonprofit retail on the ground floor, with outdoor courtyard and terrace areas. Bidders must provide comprehensive pricing for a wide range of trades, including but not limited to concrete, metals, roofing, MEP, drywall, and landscaping, with bids due by October 1, 2024. This prevailing wage project mandates union labor for carpenter and laborer trades and enforces subcontracting participation goals targeting 25% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and 5% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE), requiring submission of completed SBE Form 2 with proposals. The contract is structured as a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) agreement with a hard bid policy prohibiting cost escalation. Important contract clauses highlight strict compliance with provided specifications, documentation of any bid deviations, and adherence to the AIA A201-2017 general conditions. Contractors bear responsibility for design conflicts, obtaining all necessary trade permits, inspection at the project site, and full risk for conditions identifiable during the bidding phase with no allowance for change orders on such items. Administrative requirements include mandatory use of Oracle Textura Payment Management for invoicing, compliance with San Francisco’s local hiring ordinances and prevailing wage laws, and adherence to detailed labor relations and workforce hiring goals per Exhibit-K. While subcontractors must cover costs for project management software such as Procore, GCGI enforces stringent controls via contractual bond requirements and submittal approvals. The bid package is supported by multiple addenda issued throughout September 2024, integrating the latest clarifications. Communications are centralized through designated GCGI contacts with direct outreach to the owner or architect prohibited, emphasizing a tightly managed contract administration framework for this key affordable housing initiative.
