Project Objective

The project seeks to transform the historic building into a long-term, adaptable federal asset that will provide the opportunity for two agencies, GSA and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), to co-locate and reimagine what is possible in a shared headquarters.

The primary objective is to complete the reimagination, enhance building performance, and ensure the space can adapt to future workforce and multi-tenant requirements. This project will set a new standard for a modern, adaptable federal workplace.

Wing 2

Wings 0 and 3: Undergoing a full renovation featuring new furnishings, updated finishes, and improved building systems.

Specialized Areas: The auditorium and library will be renovated with enhanced seating and audiovisual equipment; the fitness center will receive upgrades, including locker rooms and shower facilities.

System Upgrades: Elevators will be modernized; historic windows and cast-iron elements will be restored; roofs and plumbing will be replaced;

fire safety systems will be expanded; telecommunications will be improved; and the building envelope will be refurbished.

New West Infill: A proposed infill between Wings 2 and 3 aims to add office space and a glass atrium.

Wings Refresh: Wings 1 and 2, along with the East Infill, will be updated to align with the overall construction, creating a cohesive interior throughout the building.

Courtyards: Transform courtyards into versatile spaces that integrate parking, building amenities, and innovative workspaces.

Project Overview To facilitate the successful delivery of this project:

● All employees have been swung out to alternative locations for the duration of the project allowing work to proceed in a fully unoccupied building.

● Early demolition and abatement of wings 0 and 3 will be completed ahead of the CMc contractor period of performance allowing the work to begin from empty abated shell space.

● Three design packages to allow early construction of portions of work prior to final design completion.

○ Core and Shell, Interiors, Courtyards

Two Step CMc Solicitation

● Process in accordance with FAR Part 15 (GSA Class Deviation

RFO-2025-15)

● Offerors shall respond to the Phase I solicitation by submitting a Phase I Technical Proposal

● Offerors will be notified of their general evaluation results, including information addressing whether the offeror appears competitive or viable for Phase II.

● The results of Phase I shall not preclude Offerors from submitting a Phase II Proposal, unless an Offeror is found to be technically unacceptable

Two Step CMc Solicitation Phase I Evaluation Factors:

● Factor 1: Key Personnel

● Factor 2: Past Performance

● Factor 3: Prior Technical Experience

Phase II Evaluation Factors:

● Factor 4: Management and Technical Approach – Design Phase Services and

Construction Phase Services

● Factor 5: Small Business Utilization Plan

● Project Price Proposal

Technical factors are listed in order of descending importance by phase. For the overall best value tradeoff evaluation, Factor 4 is significantly more important than Factors 1, 2, 3, and 5.

Factor 1: Key Personnel

This factor will assess the qualifications and experience of the Offeror’s proposed Key Personnel for this project

● Project Executive

● Project Manager

● Design Assist Manager

● Superintendent

● Quality Control Manager

Each key personnel shall submit one resume and up to three Key Personnel Similar Project Experience Reference Questionnaires.

Factor 2: Past Performance This factor will assess the past performance of the Offeror on projects deemed relevant under Factor #3 Prior Technical Experience. The Offeror’s past performance information will be evaluated utilizing the completed Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ)

The past performance evaluation may include assessment of:

● Overall quality of past performance

● Record of conforming to contract requirements

● Construction quality performance

● Adherence to contract schedules

● Responsiveness of management

● History of behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction

Factor 3: Prior Technical Experience This factor assesses the experience of the Offeror in providing services necessary for successful delivery of the 1800 Forward Project.

● Construction in or of a Federal building;

● Major (significant work across multiple building systems) building modernization;

● Work in a building on the historic register;

● Construction cost greater than $100,000,000;

● Major (at least 50% of facade and windows included) façade and window restoration;

● CMc delivery method;

● Building size greater than 300,000 square feet; and

● An urban location with a constrained site with limited laydown and work area.

Cost Accounting Standards

● GSA GSAR Individual Deviation issued for the 1800 Forward Project

● This deviation replaces the previous CMc approach with a

Construction Ceiling Price at Award / Construction Firm-Fixed-Price at Option model.

● During the design phase, the CMc collaborates with the architect-engineer contractor on constructability and cost estimating. At option exercise, the construction phase is performed at a firm-fixed price.

● As a result, this contract is firm fixed price and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) rather than CAS apply.

Project Labor Agreement

● 1800 Forward Project will follow the new Project Labor Agreement

(PLA) Paired-Proposal Procedure.

● Each Offeror must submit a PLA Price Proposal with a completed

Contract Price Form.

● Offerors may, but are not required to, submit a Non-PLA Price Proposal for the same scope of work.

● The two proposals must be identical except for the PLA and its direct effects on cost, schedule, or technical approach.

● Offerors that do not submit a PLA Price Proposal are ineligible for award

Phase II Solicitation The phase II solicitation will include design packages necessary to submit a phase II technical and price proposal.

● Core and shell design

○ FFP early construction package

○ 95% CD at solicitation and 100% CD prior to CMc award

● Interiors

○ Design assist with construction ceiling price option

○ 100% DIDs at solicitation and 65% CD prior to CMc award

● Courtyards

○ Design assist with construction ceiling price option

○ Final concepts at solicitation and 100% DID prior to CMc award

• The structure has informed the demolition and new construction strategy

• Steel frame with terra cotta tile flat arch system for floors

• Note that the interior non-load bearing partitions are built from 4” wide terra cotta tile block

• First round of demolition does not include larger openings that would require additional structural support
