County of Alameda

1111 Jackson Tenant Improvement (Project No. 11020)

March 27, 2015

Alameda County / General Services Agency 1111 Jackson Tenant Improvement Project No. 11020

Issued with RFQ-P 00 11 19 - 1 Request For ProposalsFrom Design-Build Entities

DOCUMENT 00 11 19

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS AND PROPOSALS FROM PRE-QUALIFIED DESIGN-BUILD ENTITIES

The COUNTY OF ALAMEDA, acting by and through its GENERAL SERVICES AGENCY (“County”), will receive competitive sealed Proposals from pre-qualified Design-Build Entities (“DBEs”) for the following public work:

1111 JACKSON TENANT IMPROVEMENT

(Project Number 11020)

1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF WORK

The General Services Agency (GSA) has developed a design for the Tenant Improvement of 150,000 SF of an existing 8-story building with basement into new offices for a variety of County office needs. The two client County agencies moving into the building are Probation Department and Social Services Agency (SSA). See Phasing outline below for a floor-by-floor breakdown.

Currently, the building is only partially occupied. The northwest corner of the ground floor (1F) has active County tenants, who have their own entrance off 12th St. While discrete pieces of the infrastructural work will need to be coordinated through their space, no direct work is anticipated for this suite. In addition to small areas occupied by GSA-BMD building engineers, all other floor plates are vacant and ready for active construction. See paragraph 5.2 for breakdown.

The County is also completing two components of the infrastructure upgrade within the building. First, the installation of the new network backbone, and associated network IDF rooms, throughout the building are almost complete. These individual IDF’s are the point of connection for all new network office needs in this RFP. Running parallel to this network backbone will be the security backbone for the building. While this will be installed by County’s security vendor, similar to network components, the individual security pieces in the scope for this RFP will connect to this system.

2. CONSTRUCTION BUDGET

The estimated Project construction cost and Stipulated Sum is approximately $ 14,000,000.

3. DESIGN-BUILD OPPORTUNITIES OF THE PROJECT

The design documents, consisting of design drawings and specifications, have been prepared by the bridging architects, Noll & Tam Architects. The extent of the aesthetics and finishes for tenant improvements on all floors have been fully established in these documents.

The bridging architects have also initiated discussion with Oakland Fire Department (OFD) with an initial fire/life safety review. The OFD has reviewed and approved the 1111 Jackson Street Renovation project. Conditions of approval and deferred submittal requirements are summarized in the plan check memo dated 1/27/15, included in design drawings. Refer to the drawings and specifications for design-build requirements.

Design-Build opportunities in these documents include design of all building systems, which will be governed by the requirements and criteria identified. These systems include, but are not limited to:



Heating / Ventilation / Air Conditioning Systems Plumbing Systems Electrical Systems Fire Protection Systems Data/Telecommunications Systems

4. SCHEDULE, PHASING AND OCCUPANCY BY USES

Another significant Design-Build consideration is the logistics of installing the work. A phased occupancy of the facility is crucial to the County’s needs. Dedicated space for Contractor offices during phases 1-3 will be on 1F- in the area designated for future room numbers rooms 117-122. Phase 4 will have GC offices relocated to a room on 2F. Secure storage will be room 005 until its buildout.

A successful proposal must address the following phasing:

4.1 PHASE 1 – for occupancy of 7F & 8F by July 31, 2015. a. Completion of 7F & 8F. b. Completion of Probation components of the Basement (0F): rooms 011-015. c. Upgrading of the building-wide HVAC controls backbone system d. Connection of renovated HVAC at floors 0, 1, 7 & 8 to this system. e. Connection of existing HVAC at 0F and 1F (County Counsel suite and Lobby) to new

controls backbone system. f. Temporary connection of remaining floors to this new control system shall be established

for DBE’s use in completing the successive phases. 4.2 PHASE 2A – anticipation of occupancy by initial SSA units

a. Completion of walls defining suites on 1F and 2F b. On 1F, completion of rooms 103-115 and 131-142 c. On 2F, completion of rooms 237-240 and stair rough construction d. Connection of HVAC of new controls backbone to rooms noted above.

4.3 PHASE 2B a. Completion of 2F & 3F b. Completion of Stair c. Completion of SSA components of the basement (0F): rooms 004, 010 & 022.

4.4 PHASE 3 – for phased occupancy of floors 1-6 beginning mid-Sept, 2015 a. Completion of 4F, 5F & 6F

4.5 PHASE 4 – SSA Units/ Administration and CFS Support units a. Completion of remaining rooms on 0F & 1F

4.6 USES BY FLOOR The detailed floor-by-floor breakdown of final uses is:

7F & 8F / Probation – Administration 3F – 6F & shared on 0F-2F / SSA – Administration and Child and Family Services

(SSA/CFS). Basement (0F) will be shared by Probation, SSA and GSA (Fitness Room and

GSA/BMD rooms) 2F will be facility of shared conference rooms, along with larger conference rooms

specifically for SSA/CFS. Shared Conference Facilities are:

o 9 medium-to-large rooms available to all County-wide units o 1800 SF lunchroom for building employees o 800 SF hoteling office for mobile employees



o 2700 SF lobby area, for casual meeting o Rooms will be self-scheduled using web-based,

enterprise-grade room management software, supported by ITD. 4.7 Proposal should clearly articulate any proposed deviation(s) from the above County’s

intended occupancy sequence (above), which County may accept at its sole discretion.

5. SITE HISTORY

5.1 Prior Uses 5.1.1 The original construction was built in the early 1960’s as State office building. 5.1.2 In 2002, a full seismic renovation was completed to the structure. This included

County shall have the right to communicate directly with DBE’s surety regarding DBE’s bonds.

9.6.3 DBEs must respond in a timely manner to all questions from the County regarding their Proposal. A DBE’s failure to provide prompt and complete responses may result in rejection of its Proposal and terminate the DBEs participation in the selection process.

9.7 ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS.

9.7.1 County may, in its sole discretion, and solely as a convenience to DBEs, elect to provide various RFP Documents and/or other information on CD-ROMs, solid-state memory devices or other electronic forms (“Electronic Copy”), in addition to hardcopy paper documents (“Hardcopy”). In all cases, the Hardcopy shall be referred to, and shall control, in the event of any inconsistency between a Hardcopy and an Electronic Copy.

9.7.2 DBEs are advised to check all electronic media for computer viruses before loading any files therefrom. DBEs are fully responsible for intercepting and disabling viruses, if any, that may be inadvertently transmitted with an Electronic Copy. Also, files distributed electronically are subject to data erosion, erasure and/or alteration, and computer systems and software become obsolete in time (together, “Data Erosion”). By taking any step to open or otherwise use any electronic file, each DBE acknowledges these risks and releases County, and its officers, employees, consultants, representatives, and agents harmless from and against all claims of any type or nature arising from or relating to any virus inadvertently transmitted or any Data Erosion. In addition, the composition of electronic files and the adjuncts to them were created for the use and convenience of the County, and may not be compatible with other users. DBEs acknowledge that Electronic Copies may not match Hardcopies, and that it is the responsibility of the DBEs to adapt Electronic Copies for their own use.

9.8 EXISTING CONDITIONS AND RELATED DATA.

9.8.1 DBEs may examine any available existing conditions information by giving County reasonable advance notice. Documents 00 31 26 (Hazardous Materials Surveys) apply to all existing drawings and hazardous material surveys supplied by County as well as any other information supplied regarding existing conditions above ground or below ground.



9.8.2 DBEs may request access to the Site to conduct investigations or testing using Document 00 25 17 (Access Request Form and Agreement). Before a DBE is allowed to access the Site, it must meet all requirements, including but not limited to insurance and indemnity, of that Document. All requests for Site access must be made at least 10 Business Days before Proposals are due.

9.9 WAGE RATES. The Project is a public work subject to the requirements of Labor Code Sections 1720, et seq. DBEs are required to comply with all applicable prevailing wage requirements and regulations. Copies of the general prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification, or type of worker needed to design and construct the Project, as determined by Director of the State of California Department of Industrial Relations, are on file at the Office of the County and are deemed included in the Proposal Documents. Upon request, County will make available copies to any interested DBE.

9.10 PROJECT STABILIZATION AGREEMENT. On July 24, 2012, the County‘s Board of Supervisors authorized the County to enter into a Project Stabilization Community Benefit Agreement (“PS/CBA”) (also known as a Project Labor Agreement or “PLA”) for this Project. DBE Proposals shall account for inclusion of the PS/CBA and DBEs shall agree to be bound by and comply with the conditions of the PS/CBA. After execution by the parties, a copy of the PS/CBA will be provided to the DBE and further amendments will be made to this RFP and the Project Manual to incorporate the requirements of the PS/CBA. DBEs are reminded that Section 2500(a)(3) of the California Public Contract Code requires a public entity PLA to include an agreed-upon protocol concerning drug testing for workers employed on the project. Accordingly, any PLA or PS/CBA for this Project will contain a drug testing protocol, which may consist of the adoption of the applicable Master Labor Agreement drug testing protocol, should the MLA contain one or, if not, the DBE protocol but in either case the drug testing protocol must be consistent.

9.11 PUBLIC RECORDS ACT REQUESTS.

9.11.1 Pursuant to the Public Records Act, County will make available to the public after negotiations with the apparent successful Proposer are complete, but prior to award of Contract: DBE’s Proposals (to the extent opened), all correspondence and written questions submitted during the Proposal period, all Proposal submissions opened in accordance with the procedures of this Document 00 11 19 (Request for Proposals from DBEs), and all subsequent Proposal evaluation information. Any submissions not opened will remain sealed and will be returned to the submitting DBE.

9.11.2 Except as otherwise required by law, County will not disclose information DBEs consider trade secrets or proprietary financial information that a DBE has designated confidential (including but not limited to the Technical Proposal). Any such trade secrets or proprietary financial information that a DBE believes should be exempted from disclosure must be specifically identified and marked as such by DBE. Blanket-type identification by designating whole pages or sections shall not be permitted and shall be invalid. The specific information must be clearly identified as such.

9.11.3 Upon a request for records regarding a Proposal, County will notify the DBE involved within ten (10) Business Days from receipt of the request of the date



on which the records will be made available for inspection. If the DBE timely identifies any additional proprietary, trade secret, or confidential commercial or financial information that DBE contends is not subject to public disclosure, and requests County to refuse to comply with the records request, DBE shall take all appropriate legal action and defend, at its sole cost and expense, County’s refusal to produce the information in all forums; otherwise, County will without restriction make such information available to the extent required by Applicable Law.

9.11.4 Information disclosed in the Proposals and related materials are the property of County except data DBE identifies as proprietary. Subject to the requirements of the Public Records Act, reasonable efforts will be made to prevent the disclosure of information except on a need-to-know basis during the evaluation process.

9.12 RIGHTS RESERVED TO COUNTY.

9.12.1 County will determine at its sole discretion whether a Proposal is responsive and whether a DBE is responsible.

9.12.2 County may reject any and all Proposals and may waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any informalities or minor irregularities therein. County also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject all Proposals and issue a further request for Proposals for the Project or to prequalify additional DBEs.

9.12.3 County reserves the right: (i) to reject any nonconforming, non-responsive, unbalanced or conditional Proposal, (ii) to request other Proposals, and (iii) to reject a Proposal of any DBE if County believes that for any reason it would not be in the best interest of Project to give further consideration to a particular DBE. For purposes of this paragraph, an “unbalanced Proposal” is a Phase II Proposal having nominal/low prices for some work items and enhanced prices for other work items.

9.13 PROTEST PROCEDURE.

9.13.1 The County prides itself on establishing fair and competitive contracting procedures and on its commitment to following those procedures. The following procedure is provided in the event that prospective DBEs wish to:

9.13.1.2 appeal the County’s designation of DBEs selected to participate in Phase II of the Request for Proposal process, or

9.13.1.3 appeal the staff recommendation to the Board of Supervisors regarding the Notice of Intent to Award the Contract.

9.13.2 The County will use reasonable effort to deliver by electronic mail a list of the DBEs selected to participate in Phase II of the selection process and the staff recommendation to the Board of Supervisors regarding award of the Contract (or Notice of Non-Award) to all prospective DBEs who submitted Phase I



Qualifications or Phase II Proposals (as applicable) no later than the first business day after issuance, although any delay or failure to do so will not extend the applicable protest deadline.

9.13.3 Any protest must be submitted in writing to address at paragraph 7.2, before 5:00 p.m. of the Fifth (5th) business day following the date the County issues the list of DBEs selected to participate in Phase II or the issuance of the Notice of Intent to Award, not the date the prospective DBE receives the document. A protest received after 5:00 p.m. is considered received as of the next business day. The Project Manager will forward the protest to the Assistant Director of the General Services Agency for review and evaluation.

9.13.4 Protests must conform to the following:

9.13.4.1 The protest must contain a complete statement of the reasons, facts and legal basis for the protest.

9.13.4.2 The protest must refer to the specific portions of all documents that form the basis for the protest.

9.13.4.4 The County will transmit a copy of the protest to all other prospective DBEs that submitted Phase II Proposals, as applicable, as soon as possible after receipt of the protest.

9.13.5 Upon receipt of a timely written protest, the Assistant Director of the General Services Agency or designee will review and evaluate the protest and issue a written decision. The Assistant Director may, at his or her discretion, investigate the protest, obtain additional information, provide an opportunity to settle the protest by mutual agreement, and/or schedule a meeting(s) with the protesting party and others (as appropriate) to discuss the protest. The decision on a timely protest will be issued at least ten (10) business days prior to the Board hearing date. The decision will be communicated by e-mail or fax and certified mail, and will inform the protesting DBE whether the protest has been rejected or sustained, and/or whether the list of DBEs selected to participate in the Phase II RFP or the recommendation in the Notice of Intent to Award will change. A copy of the decision will be furnished to all prospective DBEs.

9.13.6 The decision of the Assistant Director of the General Services Agency on the protest may be appealed to the County of Alameda’s Auditor-Controller’s Office of Contract Compliance (“OCC”) located at 1221 Oak Street, Room 249, Oakland, California 94612, Fax: (510) 272-6502.

9.13.7 The protesting DBE, and all pre-qualified prospective DBEs affected by the GSA-Assistant Director’s decision on the protest, has the right to appeal if not satisfied with the GSA-Assistant Director’s decision. All appeals to the Auditor-Controller’s OCC shall be in writing and submitted within five (5) business days following the issuance of the decision by the GSA Assistant Director, not the



date the prospective DBE receives the document. An appeal received after 5:00 p.m. is considered received as of the next business day.

9.13.8 The appeal shall specify the decision being appealed and all the facts and circumstances relied upon in support of the appeal.

9.13.9 In reviewing protest appeals, the OCC will not re-judge the proposal(s). The OCC shall be limited to a review of the procurement process to determine if the contracting department materially erred in following the RFP or, where appropriate, County contracting policies or other laws and regulations.

9.13.10 The appeal to the OCC shall be limited to the grounds raised in the original protest and the decision by the GSA Assistant Director. As such, a DBE is prohibited from stating new grounds for a protest in its appeal.

9.13.11 The decision of the Auditor-Controller’s OCC is the final step of the appeal process. A copy of the decision of the Auditor-Controller’s OCC will be furnished to the protestor, the DBE whose proposal is the subject of the protest, and all prospective DBEs affected by the decision.

9.13.12 The County will, at its discretion, complete the protest/appeal procedures set forth in this paragraph before proceeding to the next step in the Request for Proposal process and before a recommendation to award is considered by the Board of Supervisors.

9.13.13 The procedure and time limits set forth in this Paragraph 5.13 are mandatory and are a DBEs sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a protest. A DBE’s failure to timely complete both the bid protest and appeal procedures shall be deemed a failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Failure to exhaust administrative remedies, or failure to comply otherwise with these procedures, shall constitute a waiver of any right to further pursue a protest including the filing of a Government Code Claim or instituting separate legal proceedings. A DBE may not rely on a protest submitted by another DBE, but must timely pursue its own protest or legal proceedings.
