I. Project Information I.A. Project Summary The 911 Federal Building, 911 NE 11th, Portland, Oregon was constructed in 1953 by the Lloyd Corporation and leased by GSA until 1959 when the government purchased the building. The 8- story Federal Building is adjacent to and shares common areas with the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Building.
The proposed project is being acquired as a Design-Build (DB) project. The seismic and non-seismic structural upgrades shall meet current codes and standards, further ensuring the facility’s operational status for decades to come. Related to the structural systems’ upgrades, the facility, particularly where impacted by the limited scope structural upgrades portion of the project, shall be updated to ABAAS compliance in accordance with GSA policies and directives relative to Capital-funded Repair and Alteration (R&A) projects. The NOAA TI Space Build-out project renovates a significant portion of the 2nd floor’s overall space to meet NOAA Fisheries Western Region headquarters’ requirements, in an initiative to relocate the Fisheries’ Regional office and functions from a nearby leased location into the Federal Building.
Tenants:
· U.S. Congress - House of Representatives and Senate
· Department of Interior- Bureau of Indian Affairs
· Bureau of Reclamation - Fish and Wildlife Service
· Department of Labor - Health Safety Administration
· General Services Administration - Public Buildings Service
· Department of Homeland Security - U.S. Coast Guard
· Department of Energy - Bonneville Power Administration (although BPA is housed in the neighboring building, 905, they share a common linking space with 911.
Project Summary:
The design build contractor shall provide a fully functional design and construction effort to upgrade the structural – seismic and non- seismic structural systems (e.g. architectural; mechanical, electrical, plumbing, data & communications; fire & life safety; conveyance; etc.) – throughout the facility, while maintaining the fully occupied and operational status to tenants (occupants) during normal business hours in support of normal business and facility operations. This is of critical importance given the expectation that the project occur within a fully occupied and functional federal office building.
Related to the structural systems’ upgrades, the facility, particularly where impacted by the limited scope structural upgrades portion of the project, shall be updated to ABAAS compliance in accordance with GSA policies and directives relative to Capital-funded Repair and Alteration (R&A) projects.
The NOAA TI Space Build-out project renovates a significant portion of the 2nd floor’s overall space to meet NOAA Fisheries Western Region headquarters’ requirements, in an initiative to relocate the Fisheries’ Regional office and functions from a nearby leased location into the Federal Building.
This move also involves relocation for a member of the US House of Representatives, Congressman Earl Blumenauer’s office space from its existing location that’s currently located on the 2nd floor. An additional project requirement is to build-out space for the Congressman’s functions in currently vacant space on the 2nd floor’s east side. Relocating the Congressional office space from its existing location (2nd floor mid-floor plate) to the 2nd floor east side, prior to upgrading their existing space for seismic & non- seismic structural compliance, will minimize downtime and negative impact to their functionality from the seismic upgrade construction that is currently envisioned to occur in/near their existing space.
Project Goals:
· Comply with all project requirements, including (but not limited to) GSA PBS P-100 standards (baseline, unless noted otherwise).
· Substantial Completion Date for the NOAA TI Space Build-out no later than 15-Oct-2022, in order for NOAA to vacate their existing space before existing lease expiration.
· Upgrade the facility’s seismic and non-seismic structural systems.
· Minimize impact to tenants and public users.
· Maintain an adequate, code compliant number and proper configuration of access and egress pathways throughout the facility, including within tenant spaces, during and after construction.
· Maintains/upgrades the facility features impacted by project work to be ABAAS compliant.
· The integrated design and construction phasing of these (2) offices are critical to the successful completion of this overall project.
There are no feasible alternatives to the project. This is a limited scope renovation and the cost of the proposed project is far less than the cost of constructing a new facility.
The design-build scope of work includes all labor and materials required to provide design, engineering, construction and other related services necessary to successful completion of this project.
More than one possible option will be presented when the RFP is released which is the result of project development studies performed by GSA prior to the release of this RFP. Options are provided for information purposes only. Design Build contractor will be fully responsible for all design and construction efforts related to the project.
GSA envisions a highly collaborative design build delivery approach for this project. The expectation is that the DB contractor will work closely with all the stakeholders to deliver a project that meets the expectations and needs of all stakeholders and GSA's requirements for a high performing building.

GSA contractors and subcontractors must not take SBU building information outside of GSA or their own facilities or network, except as necessary for the performance of that contract. Access to the information must be limited to those with a legitimate business need to know.
f. Destroying SBU building information. When no longer needed, SBU building information must be destroyed so that marked information is rendered unreadable and incapable of being restored, in accordance with guidelines provided for media sanitization within GSA CIO IT Security 06-32, Media Sanitization Guide and Appendix A of NIST Special Publication 800-88, Guidelines for Media Sanitization. Alternatively, SBU building information may be returned to the CO.
g. Notice of disposal. The contractor must notify the CO that all SBU building information has been returned or destroyed by the contractor and its subcontractors or suppliers in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 6 of this clause, with the exception of the contractor's record copy. This notice must be submitted to the CO at the completion of the contract to receive final payment. For leases, this notice must be submitted to the CO at the completion of the lease term. The contractor may return the SBU documents to the CO rather than destroying them.
h. Incidents. All improper disclosures of SBU building information must be immediately reported to the CO at <insert address and contact information> . If the contract provides for progress payments, the CO may withhold approval of progress payments until the contractor provides a corrective action plan explaining how the contractor will prevent future improper disclosures of SBU building information.
