The US Government Publishing Office (GPO) is located at 732 North Capital St. NW Washington DC 20401. GPO provides publishing and dissemination services for the official and authentic government publications to Congress, Federal agencies, Federal depository libraries, and the American public. GPO consists of four buildings on North Capitol St.: Bldgs. A, B, C and D. The freight elevator of Bldg. A, that is original to the building and is beyond its life expectancy, requires a new design and new elevators installed.

The intention of this statement of work is to seek a qualified (Architectural and Engineering) A/E firm with expertise and responsibilities for providing (A/E) design services for one (1) freight elevator as required by Facilities Management (FM).

DESCRIPTION: This scope of work is for Architect-Engineering design services in support of the GPO.

This requirement is being executed under free and open competition.

SCOPE OF WORK: This project requires the services of an A/E firm having special knowledge of the design of replacing existing elevators in an occupied production facility. The A/E shall be responsible for providing services necessary to deliver a constructible design, to include but not limited to: Mechanical, Electrical, Vertical Transport, and other such specialties which encompass the scope of work.

PROJECT SCOPE (Intent): This project is intended for the Replacement and/or Retrofit of one (1) Elevator at the GPO. The A/E shall be responsible for the performance of the Investigative Services to understand the existing conditions, Review of existing As-built Drawings, Design & Bidding Documents, Specifications, Construction Cost Estimates, Construction Phasing Schedule, Bid Phase Services, Construction Period Services. And preparation of As Built & Record Drawings. The A/E shall also accommodate review of the design by a potential third-party Subject Matter Specialist (SMS), periodic inspections by SMS, final inspections and certifications.

A. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION

GPO has recognized the need to renovate Elevator 12 in Building A.

The design development shall be done according to the design standards and criteria, it must be updated by the A/E prior moving to the next scheduled submission period. The A/E firm shall provide all submittals in accordance with this scope of work. The GPO may provide “As‐Built drawings” of existing elevator system (in either AutoCAD, PDF, or JPG form) to the A/E firm as references for design purposes. However, the A/E firm is responsible to review all reference drawings with the assigned COR and/or Project Manager (PM) to verify what existing drawings are available. The existing drawings may not be 100% accurate, or it may not exactly reflect the current project’s conditions. from GPO filing archives. Therefore, it is the sole responsibility of the A/E firm team to review the existing drawings and verify the existing conditions at the project site.

2. A/E firm shall perform an assessment of the existing shaft to ensure proper condition for the new elevator.
