The GSA Solicitation No. 47PK0124R0017 initiates a design-build contract for the Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Federal Building & U.S. Courthouse, focusing on courtyard waterproofing and concrete replacement. This project is partially funded by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022, emphasizing the use of low-embodied carbon materials and sustainable construction technologies. Proposals, due by December 9, 2024, must comply with IRA-specific requirements, including pricing, submittals, and supporting environmentally friendly practices.
Offeror evaluation will consider technical aspects like design quality, past performance on similar projects, sustainability commitments, and small business participation. Detailed documentation is required, including price and technical proposals, bonding capacity evidence, and past performance questionnaires. A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for September 10, 2024, to clarify expectations.
The solicitation underscores GSA's commitment to enhancing building efficiency while providing opportunities for small businesses, establishing strict guidelines for project execution, evaluation, and funding allocation. The emphasis on sustainable materials aligns with federal priorities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in construction practices.
