OVERVIEW: PCUPR is looking for proposals from potential contractors to provide full and total program management services (including design-design management, project management and inspection services) associated with DR-4339, DR-4473 and DR-4671 events. Proposals from interested parties shall be submitted by email and received on or before November 14, 2023 until 12:00 midnight. Proposals submitted after the deadline will not be considered. Proposals will be evaluated in terms of previous experience, economic proposal, compliance with FEMA, Federal and State Regulations and availability to have continuous physical presence in Puerto Rico. All of these factors are of outmost importance. Having physical continuous presence in Puerto Rico is an obligatory factor. Reputation in the business community and referrals will also be an evaluation factor, but of less relevance than those previously mentioned. Offerors shall be aware that PCUPR reserves the right to execute an award and that said award would be made, if made, on a “best value” basis.
Therefore, PCUPR reserves the right to award the contract to other than the lowest-priced offeror. The failure to submit the requested documents during the established timeframe will be cause for disqualification of the proposal, and PCUPR reserves the right to engage in a contractual relation with any other responsive proponent. The adjudication of this RFP does not obligate PCUPR to sign a contract. The contractual relationship between PCUPR and the selected proponent would only start when a contract is formally signed, according to law. Under no circumstances, none of the personnel of the party to whom the contract is awarded will at any time be considered as an employee of PCUPR. If this RFP is partially modified, all terms and conditions that are not modified will remain intact.
PCUPR reserves the right to cancel or amend any of the terms and conditions of this RFP at any time and will notify the interested parties. PCUPR could cancel or withdraw this RFP. PCUPR could also not select any of the interested parties for the award to this RFP without any legal liability against PCUPR.
In accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Restauration Act of 1987 and other laws and rules regarding the prohibition against discrimination, PCUPR will not discriminate during this process against parties due to reasons based on sex, color, origin, nationality, race, age, or incapacity. All proponents must demonstrate that they have the capacity, experience, and the necessary resources to provide the requested services to PCUPR and that they don’t have any legal or ethical impediment to being contracted by PCUPR.
PCUPR is an equal opportunity employer.
