CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AT RISK SERVICES
The MASSACHUSETTS PORT AUTHORITY is soliciting Construction Management at Risk Services for MPA CONTRACT NO. L1177-C1, CBIS RECAPITALIZATION/OPTIMIZATION, LOGAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, EAST BOSTON, MA. In accordance with Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 149A, sections 1 thru 13, Massport is seeking a highly qualified and competent Construction Manager (CM) to provide preconstruction services and implement the construction of the Project in accordance with an agreement where basis for payment is the cost of the work plus a fee for a negotiated guaranteed maximum price. This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is being utilized to prequalify and shortlist CM firms who will be invited to submit proposals in response to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by Massport.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF SERVICES
In 2002, in-line Checked Baggage Inspection Systems (CBIS) were installed and commissioned at various locations in Terminals B, C and E at Logan International Airport. Terminal A was subsequently constructed with an entirely new baggage handling system that also included an in-line CBIS. While these systems were state-of-the-art at the time, they were designed well before the adoption of the Planning Guidelines and Design Standards (PGDS) by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in 2009.
Under the proposed project, the Authority is proposing to make improvements to the CBISs at Logan International Airport. The proposed improvements at each location are categorized as either a recapitalization or an optimization of each existing system. The recapitalization of an existing system involves the modernization of the CBIS to the maximum degree possible. Conversely, the optimization of an existing CBIS will involve total reconfiguration, consolidation, and reconstruction of the CBIS. Under the Project, six existing CBIS’s will be recapitalized and the remaining two CBISs will be optimized.
The scope of work on the Project involves construction activities in all of the Terminals at Logan International Airport. Extensive interaction and coordination with the TSA and the airlines will be required. Construction of the Project will commence in the spring of 2012. The work will be completed in a minimum of five phases. The work on the last of the phases will be completed on or before April of 2014.
Due to the fact that a portion of the project contains sensitive security information (SSI), certain trades will be managed in accordance with the SSI provision contained in MGL Chapter 149A. The CM must have a demonstrated ability to manage a sensitive security project and protect SSI.
In addition to the construction services, the CM shall also provide Preconstruction Services which shall include, but are not limited to, cost estimating, scheduling, phasing and logistics, value engineering, document review to support the preparation of trade packages and constructability reviews. The CM shall be expected to work closely with Massport’s team including its Project Manager and design team in order to effectively implement the project.
The construction budget is estimated at approximately Seventy Five Million ($75,000,000).
SELECTION PROCESS
Massport intends to implement a two-step selection process including a Qualifications phase and a Proposal phase. At the Qualifications phase, the Prequalification Committee will conduct a qualifications-based evaluation of interested CM firms in order to create a shortlist of competent CM firms. Shortlisted firms shall be invited to respond to a written RFP which will require both a technical proposal and a price proposal. A Selection Committee shall review Proposals in order to rank the shortlisted firms and make the final selection. Massport intends to shortlist firms and issue an RFP in December 2011, and make a final selection in February 2012. The Designer shall participate in the selection of the Construction Manager.
