MANDATORY PRE-SUBMITTAL CONFERENCE To ensure sufficient information is available to teams preparing submittals, a mandatory pre-submittal conference has been scheduled. The intent of this conference is to tour the site and to have Colorado Northwestern Community College staff able to discuss the project. Teams preparing submittals must attend and sign-in in order to have their submittals accepted Colorado Northwestern Community College (CNCC) is seeking proposals from qualified firms for the repair/replacement of chilled water and cooler tower system pumps, cooling tower media fill, and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). Additionally, this project includes upgrading the HVAC control systems. The existing systems are in the Johnson Building mechanical room and services (9) academic buildings includes classrooms, labs, offices, administration, and student service areas. All construction related activities will need to occur during the late fall, winter, and early spring months to avoid equipment downtime when cooling is required. Colorado Northwestern Community College intends to select a Design/Build Entity who will design, manage, and construct the project as described within. The process to be used in the selection of the firm is comprised of two steps: STEP I is the Submittal of Prequalification as described in Section II. STEP II is the Oral Interview/Cost Proposal as described in detail in Section III. A Jury Panel of individuals who will be involved in the project and/or understand the required services associated with Design/Build Contracting will evaluate responses to this RFP for both STEPS. Upon completion of the evaluation of the Submittals of Prequalification, a limited number of teams will be invited to the oral interviews. Sealed cost proposals will be required only from those teams who are interviewed and are to be submitted as indicated in this RFP. Both qualifications and cost will be considered in the final ranking of teams with qualifications given 70% of the value of the weighted criteria and costs in the sealed Cost Proposal given 30%. Selection and award of this project will be based on a combination of qualifications and costs that represents the best overall value to the State.
