CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK

1 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

THIS IS A QUALIFICATIONS-BASED, BEST VALUE SELECTION.

THIS IS NOT A LOW BID SOLICITATION.

1.1 General

Pursuant to California Public Contract Code (PCC) Section 20146, the Los Angeles County (County) Public Works is requesting Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) proposals from interested firms for pre-construction and construction services for the Hall of Records Seismic Retrofit (Project) located at 320 West Temple Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012. The CMAR Contractor is also referred to as the Contractor, Consultant, Proposer, or Bidder in this document.

The County's primary objective is to select a CMAR Contractor, who provides the County with the best value in terms of price and relevant high rise seismic strengthening construction experience and expertise, to work in cooperative environment based on mutual respect, interdependency, collaboration, and open communication. The proposing team must include the proposed CMAR contractor, the necessary mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) subcontractors, concrete subcontractor, concrete testing subcontractor, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) subcontractor, steel subcontractor, welding subcontractor, masonry/stone subcontractors, and roofing subcontractor.

The successful Proposer will be selected according to the selection process described herein in Section 3 and the selection criteria described in Section 5. All interested Proposers with experience with CMAR and high-rise construction and high-rise seismic strengthening projects are invited to submit a Proposal.

The County is committed to enhancing and developing outreach programs and activities among the design, construction, and other community industries that may impact or benefit the Project, including small business involvement. As such, Proposers will be required to actively participate in any County efforts, activities and policies to foster interaction among the industry and fulfill overall outreach goals. The Proposal requires the Proposers' commitment to current County policies as well as any future policies which may be developed or implemented at a later date during the selection process.

RFP Number: BRC0000673 Page 7 of 60

1.2 Project Overview

The goal of the County is to maintain and preserve the character and design features from the original design, while improving the building’s seismic performance. The project will be completed utilizing CMAR delivery method and construction will be phased to avoid disruptions to the occupied building.

The County is in the planning phase for the voluntary seismic upgrades of the County-owned Hall of Records building in the City of Los Angeles. The existing office building is assumed to have been designed utilizing the 1958 Universal Building Code with construction completing in 1962 and is listed in the California Historical Resources . The high-rise building is comprised of a 10-Main Building and 15-story Stack Building over a 3-story concrete podium. The building’s gross square footage of approximately 343,000 square feet with a mean roof height of 176’-0”. The Main Building and Stack building are seismically separated above the first floor of the shared podium. The Main Building is framed with structural steel beams and columns with concrete shear walls. The Stack Building is composed of concrete two-way slabs, columns, and walls. The podium levels are composed of a steel beam and column framing down to the basement level which changes to concrete beams supported with concrete columns and walls. The building is founded on shallow spread footings interconnected by a concrete slab.

There is a limited area of the southeast corner that is supported by concrete piles adjacent to North Broadway.

The building houses administrative offices for various departments for the government of the County of Los Angeles. It is located at 320 West Temple Street, Los Angeles near Grand Park. Located on the south side of Temple Street between North Hill Street and North Broadway Street.

The assumption for the Project is that the seismic strengthening will mostly consist of additional concrete shear walls in the east-west direction of the Main Building;

strengthen existing walls at select locations with fiber-reinforced polymer;

strengthen select walls with shotcrete at interior; new welded steel plates at column web; replace existing Lounge Roof; localized strengthening for discontinuous walls with new steel plates; additional anchors at slab to wall connections; construction will be phased, and that the building will be occupied during construction. The assumption is that the strengthened building will meet ASCE 41 – 23 under Basic Performance Objective for Existing Buildings for a Risk Category II building, which calls for Life Safety level of structural seismic performance for a BSE-1E and a Collapse Prevention level of structural seismic performance for a BSE-2E.

Included in the scope of this project are replacing existing cracked exterior ceramic tile cladding along the exterior shear walls, repairs to building systems and all interior tenant improvements affected to provide access to structural work, including, office renovations triggered by this work, and any code-required improvements triggered by this work. Additional related work may be requested by the County at any time in conjunction with this project.

RFP Number: BRC0000673 Page 8 of 60

For additional information on the proposed seismic strengthening scope, refer to Exhibit N for feasibility study dated January 17, 2025, prepared by Degenkolb Engineers.
