I. Project Information

I.A. Project Summary

This is a Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) Contract, and includes requirements for the Design Phase Services and the option(s) for Construction Services at a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Option.

The National Eisenhower Memorial at Eisenhower Square will be the first national presidential memorial of the new century. Eisenhower Square will be a permanent addition to the urban landscape of Washington, DC. The Eisenhower Memorial will have quality and substance equal to its place in the monumental core of the Nation’s Capital. It will be a “plaza-type” memorial with an extensive landscape and hardscape component and a small building consisting of office space, a bookstore, public toilets, and support facilities for the operation and maintenance of the memorial. The project will feature large monumental-grade memorialization elements and aesthetic depictions befitting a national presidential memorial such as statuary, stone bas-reliefs, inscribed stone blocks, and woven metal tapestries supported by monumental-scale columns connected by a cable net system. These elements are within the scope of the construction contract.

The memorial will be located entirely on Federal Property at a four-acre site in the center of Washington, DC. The site lies at the intersection of Maryland and Independence Avenues, SW, and spans two blocks, from 4th Street, SW to 6th Street, SW. The memorial has been sited within view of the Capitol and just south of the National Mall, in an area reserved for prominent memorials.

The project includes the construction of a memorial support building. The building footprint area is approximately 2,250 square feet with a total building area of 4,500 square feet, which includes the first floor and basement areas. Building site coverage is less than two percent of the total site.

The project also includes the construction of a new Promenade along the front of the neighboring Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) Department of Education Building and alterations to the LBJ Building needed to accommodate the Memorial. The LBJ Promenade is a distinct and unique space which serves as forecourt to the Department of Education Building. The Promenade is a continuous pedestrian street which connects both 4th and 6th Streets with ADA access at both ends. The Memorial Overlook, at the center, will serve as a shared space and transition zone between the Memorial and Promenade. The Promenade in front of the LBJ Building covers 0.75 acres of the four acre site.

This project includes firm-fixed price base contract with firm-fixed price options. The Base Contract is the Design phase, which is detailed in the document titled “Statement of Work, Design Phase Services, Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc)”. The project includes Options that are titled as follows: Option 1-Base Construction Contract, Option 2, Option 3, Option 4 and Option 5.

(The Agreement) Pages 3 of 51

The project is being designed to meet LEED silver certification.

The National Eisenhower Memorial is being undertaken by the Eisenhower Memorial Commission. The General Services Administration is providing project management and support services related to design, design management, construction, and construction management services. The National Park Service (NPS) will take over the project after its completion and NPS will own and operate the Memorial.

This clause applies to all recipients of SBU building information, including offerors, bidders, awardees, contractors, subcontractors, lessors, suppliers and manufacturers.

(a) Marking SBU. Contractor-generated documents that contain building information must be reviewed by GSA to identify any SBU content, before the original or any copies are disseminated to any other parties. If SBU content is identified, the Contracting Officer (CO) may direct the contractor, as specified elsewhere in this contract, to imprint or affix SBU document markings to the original documents and all copies, before any dissemination.

This clause must not prevent or encumber the dissemination of SBU building information to public safety entities.

c. Dissemination of SBU building information:

(i) By electronic transmission. Electronic transmission of SBU information outside of the GSA network must use session encryption (or alternatively, file encryption). Encryption must be via an approved NIST algorithm with a valid certification, such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES), in accordance with Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS PUB) 140-2, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules per GSA policy.
