Please see attached Summary of Work. The estimated cost of the work is between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000; with construction completion no later than Seven hundred fifty (750) calendar days after receipt of the Notice to Proceed.

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 to achieve 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.
