Added: Jul 26, 2009 2:38 am This project is an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Project. The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS), Design and Construction Division (9PCS) is presently soliciting proposals from qualified Offerors to compete for the Repairs and Alterations to the PJKK U. S. Courthouse (Part I) located at 300 Ala Moana Boulevard, Honolulu, Hawaii. The project delivery method being used is the Construction Manager as-Constructor (herein referred to as CMc). GSA intends to award a contract for pre-construction services during the Design Phase with an option for Construction Phase Work for the *Recovery*Repairs and Alterations to the PJKK U. S. Courthouse (Part I) located at 300 Ala Moana Boulevard, Honolulu, Hawaii, with the CMc that offers the best overall value to the Government. Pre-construction Services are expected to commence upon award of the contract by end of September, 2009. The Optional Construction Phase Work is anticipated to commence on or about June, 2010. The project as authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is a major renovation project to modernize the building infrastructure systems and provide limited tenant improvements at the existing Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse campus, which was built in 1978. The ARRA monies are for Design Services for the Repair and Alteration of the two buildings on the PJKK Campus and the Construction Work for the U. S. Courthouse Building Only. The Construction Work for the Federal Building may be funded under the Prospectus Funding Cycle in the 2012. The 9-story federal building is approximately 600,000 gross square feet (GSF), and the 5-story U. S. Courthouse is approximately136,000 gross square feet (GSF). It is located at 300 Ala Moana Boulevard in Honolulu, Hawaii. Currently, both buildings are fully occupied by federal agencies. This project will not only modernize the major building systems to provide 30+ years of useful life, but will also transform the existing buildings into high-performance green buildings, and provide an efficient and model interior work place for the existing federal tenants. While the project will not require alteration to the existing building exterior, the renovation project should enhance and be responsive to the distinct architectural statement of the existing buildings while improving the energy conservation, quality of the existing offices while showcasing sustainable design. Currently, there is a separate window replacement project on-going and will be completed by June, 2010. The Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for this construction project is to not exceed $70,000,000.00. The NAICS Code for this procurement is 236220. The CMc will be competitively chosen using Source Selection Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 15. At the time of contract award, the project will be in the early phases of design.

In conjunction with the base contract there will be an exercisable owner's option for Construction Phase Services to complete the actual construction. The GMP option price for Construction Phase services will be negotiated during the Pre-construction phase.
