1. Project Information

1.1. Location of Work:

1.1.1. Building Number: AK0031AA

1.1.2. Name: Anchorage US Federal Building & James M. Fitzgerald USCH

1.1.3. Address: 222 West 7th Avenue, Anchorage, AK 99513

1.1.4. Area: BLM, 4th Floor

1.2. Background: The US Federal Building & James M. Fitzgerald Courthouse is more commonly referred to as the Anchorage Federal Building, or AFB. The AFB is within the

Anchorage Central Business District. The architectural style of the AFB is considered to be

“Great Society-International” and is constructed of a structural steel frame with an exterior skin composed of concrete panels and glass, separated into six modules. There are poured concrete retaining walls along the sidewalks, concrete planters in the plaza areas that act as vehicle barriers, and the outside plaza sidewalks have heat coils under the paving stones to keep the sidewalk free of snow and ice. The building consists of six floors above grade and one below. The top floor is for mechanical and building support equipment, and the basement floor is a parking garage.

1.2.1. Project Purpose:

1.2.1.1. Provide new carpet and cove base in the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM)

4th Floor office area. The areas to complete are in modules C, E and F. The

BLM occupies the entire 4th floor.

1.2.2. Project Summary:

1.2.2.1. The BLM requires new carpet and cove base to be installed in phases, starting with (1) the Human Resources Office; (2) the E Module (includes Budget, back side of the print shop, and FOIA); (3) the C Module; and last, the F Module

(preferably in the summer of 2023). This installation will require the careful removal and reinstallation of systems furniture, storage cabinets, wall storage cabinets, tables, bookcases, boxes, etc. to provide new carpet and cove base to area. It will also require contractor to install carpet to ensure access to the existing floor outlets.

1.3. Period of Performance:
