The Northern Facilities Construction CMT of the United States Postal Service is soliciting proposals for a Pavement Repairs project, at the United States Postal Service owned P&DC 2323 Citygate Drive, Columbus Oh 43218-9710 , Franklin County. Please see attached Summary of Work.
The estimated cost of the work is between 2,575,000-$3,750,000; with construction completion no later than Two Hundred Thirty (230) calendar days after receipt of the Notice to Proceed.
The solicitation will open 1/30/2018 on USPS eSourcing Emptoris (see How to Participate below) and close on 3/05/2018.

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.
