The solicitation will open January 5, 2016 on USPS eSourcing Emptoris (see How to Participate below) and close on February 4, 2016.  A pre-proposal meeting for this project will be held on January 14, 2016 at 11 a.m. EST, on site.  Attendance is not mandatory but is strongly recommended.  Technical inquiries are to be addressed to Tom Sturr, Architect/Engineer, URS. at (616) 574-8516, or the USPS Project Manager, Robert Rizzuto at (678) 442-6014.

The Postal Service bases contract award decisions on best value.  The Postal Service is more concerned with making an award at the lowest overall price than with obtaining superior technical or management features. However, the Postal Service may not necessarily make an award at the lowest price in order to achieve a small price savings if better value can be achieved with superior technical or management features.  The benefits of a higher priced proposal may merit a higher price.
