The United States Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District (Government) is soliciting a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the Lock and Dam Numbers 2 & 3 (LDs 2 and 3) Traveling Mooring Bitt System Rehabilitation Project (Project) as Phase I of a two‐phase design‐build selection procedure. This procurement is “full and open” and will result in a firm fixed price contract. A two‐phase procurement structure will be used for the Project, consisting of a Phase I Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and a subsequent Phase 2 Request for Proposals (RFP). The RFQ is being issued to identify, using the criteria and methodology described herein, a shortlist of highly qualified and capable design‐build teams that will be invited to submit technical/price proposals for Phase 2 (RFP portion).
The Government anticipates that three firms will be shortlisted (from the RFQ responses) and invited to submit responses to the RFP; however, the Government reserves the right to shortlist more or fewer firms depending on the responses to the RFQ received. There will be a maximum of five offerors selected to submit Phase 2 proposals. All Offerors will receive written notice regarding whether they were selected to compete in Phase 2.
In Phase 2, the RFP package will be issued to the shortlisted design‐build teams and will specify technical and pricing criteria. Those selected to compete for Phase 2 will have approximately 30 calendar days to prepare and submit their Phase 2 proposals. The Phase 2 proposals will be evaluated by the Government to select the design‐build contractor for the project. The District is planning on awarding the design and construction for both sites.
No site visit will be provided for Phase I. A site visit will be offered to those offerors who are invited to compete in Phase 2. The date and time for that site visit will be included in the Phase 2 RFP.
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 237990, Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction.
