FPB Renovation RFI (12-17-2025).pdf

Sources Sought: Renovation of the Main Public Spaces in the Frances Perkins Building

1. Purpose

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10, Market Research, to obtain input from industry regarding a potential renovation project at the Francis Perkins Building (FPB) located at 200 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20210. The information received will assist the Government in understanding industry capabilities, refining requirements, assessing risks, and developing an appropriate acquisition strategy consistent with applicable procurement laws and regulations.

This RFI is for planning and market research purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation, request for proposal, request for quote, or an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any supplies or services.

2. Project Overview

The Francis Perkins Building is a federally owned, occupied office facility requiring renovation to modernize infrastructure, improve functionality, enhance safety and accessibility, and support current and future mission needs. The anticipated scope may include, but is not limited to:

A complete design and build of the FPB Auditorium, Great Hall, and Mezzanine, including the architectural, interior, structure, audio/visual, furniture, fixtures, and other corresponding infrastructure.

Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing upgrades

Building systems modernization (e.g., HVAC, electrical distribution, fire protection)

Sustainability and energy-efficiency enhancements

Phased construction while the building remains partially occupied

The Government anticipates that the project may be executed in phases to minimize operational disruption.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 236220 - commercial and institutional building construction.

3. Industry Day

DOL intends to host a non-mandatory Industry Day to provide additional project information and allow for dialogue with interested vendors.

The Government recognizes that ROMs and schedules are based on preliminary assumptions and limited information and are subject to material change as requirements are further defined.

Submission or non-submission of ROM cost or schedule information will not result in a competitive advantage or disadvantage in any future acquisition.

The Government will not rely on ROM pricing or schedule data as the sole basis for establishing an Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) or project baseline without additional analysis, validation, and refinement.

No Commitment to Scope or Phasing:

Any references within this RFI to anticipated scope elements, construction phasing, sequencing, occupancy assumptions, or execution approaches are preliminary and subject to change. The Government makes no commitment to the scope, phasing plan, schedule, or project structure described herein. Final requirements, scope definition, phasing strategy, and acquisition approach will be determined at the Government’s discretion and may differ materially from the concepts described in this RFI.
