The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), Acquisition Project Delivery Contracting Division-East Branch C intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a qualified General Contractor to provide construction services for the Hanley VBA 5th Floor- Construction project at the James M. Hanley Federal Building, 100 S Clinton St, Syracuse, NY 13261.

The Hanley VBA 5th Floor- Construction project at the James M. Hanley Federal Building, 100 S Clinton St, Syracuse, NY 13261 includes, but is not limited to providing all labor, materials, tools, and equipment necessary to make necessary improvements to the federal facility to meet the requirements as per the construction documents and supporting documents. The project shall include a renovation of approximately 2,384 sf. The project will require work performed in an occupied building without disruption to the operations of the tenants.

The primary goal is to build out a space to suit the needs of the Veteran's Benefits Agency in the Hanley Federal Building on the 5th floor. To support this project initiative, GSA requires a construction contractor to procure, supply, and furnish all materials and labor to implement the work set forth by the design documents, drawings and specifications. The contractor must be proficient in construction services, which include, but are not limited to: electrical, mechanical, ACM, etc. The contractor must also have adequate labor, equipment, materials, and experience to perform the requirements imposed by this construction project. The contractor must also have knowledge of building repairs, renovations and alterations.

The procurement will be awarded to one (1) Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business set-aside contractor. Offers from other than this small business concern will not be considered by the agency. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code associated with this procurement is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. The Small Business Administration standard of 45 million dollars in annual receipts averaged over the last three (3) completed fiscal years.

This project shall be performed by an experienced Contractor that has performed similar work. The estimated performance period is 180 calendar days after Notice to Proceed has been issued. The magnitude of construction for this project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.

The procurement method that will be implemented for this project will be in accordance with FAR Part 15.1-Source Selection Processes and Techniques. This project is a competitive acquisition utilizing the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) selection process. The government will evaluate technical responses using three evaluation factors to determine the proposal that best meets the requirements of the government. The vendor's experience, past performance, and staffing plan are acceptable/unacceptable factors. If a vendor does not meet the criteria for the prior experience factor, or the past performance, and receive an unacceptable, it will receive no further consideration under this acquisition. The vendor’s prior experience, past performance and staffing plan/structural organization factors, are equal in importance. All the technical evaluation factors, when combined, are significantly more important than price. This Contract will be awarded to a vendor whose proposal provides the lowest price with technically acceptable criteria to meet the government’s needs. The planned project delivery method will result in a Firm-Fixed-Price contract for construction services. Performance and payment bonds will be required following award pursuant to the Miller Act.
