The U.S. Postal Service plans to issue a Fixed Price Contract to complete Building Renovations Project for the Los Angeles, CA – Airport ISC Hub Facility. All work will be done in accordance with USPS approved specifications and drawings. The estimated cost range of the project is $3,500,000 to $4,500,000 with construction completion within 150 calendar days from receipt of notice to proceed. Contractors must submit a Qualification/Evaluation Package with their price proposal. Only the most qualified contractors will be considered. To be considered, a company must meet the following minimum requirements: (1) Contractors must provide proof and comply with the licensing requirements as stated in the solicitation. USPS does not exempt suppliers from licensure for federal projects unless indicated otherwise in the solicitation. (2) Contractors must have been in the construction business for a minimum of five consecutive years as of the date of this solicitation. There is no requirement that eligible contracting firms remained the identical entity for the five-year period, although legal entity changes (such as from a partnership to a corporation) that occurred during this five-year period should be clearly explained, and if key personnel were retained, this should also be clearly explained. Please read the solicitation documents for details. (3) Contractor must be capable of obtaining performance and payment bonds for 100% of the contract price. (4) Contractors must provide their EMR rating on insurance company letterhead. If the EMR rating is greater than 1.0, the contractor must provide an explanation from its insurance company in order to be given further consideration for prequalification. An EMR in excess of 1.0 may be grounds for eliminating a firm from further consideration by the evaluation team. Please read the solicitation documents for details. (5) Company must submit information for three comparable construction projects that have either been completed within the past five years or are currently ongoing. Comparable projects are defined as projects with similar scopes of work and costs of $2,000,000 or more. A description of the work will be required that clearly demonstrates the relevance of that project to this solicitation. Please read the solicitation documents for details. The Qualification / Evaluation Package will be evaluated in accordance with the criteria stated. The proposals for only the most highly qualified contractors will be considered. The Postal Service is more concerned with obtaining superior technical and management features than with making an award at the lowest overall price. However, the Postal Service may not necessarily make an award at a significantly higher overall price to achieve slightly superior technical or management features. The evaluation factors outlined in Section 2-26.2 of the Supplying Principles and Practices will be used in the evaluation of proposals.
