Construction completed;

building opens for use by the

Dept. of the Interior 1917 Building becomes the headquarters for the U.S. General

Services Administration

(GSA)

Significant modernization and upgrade undertaken

Revitalization

1800F Headquarters Renovation Project

The objective of 1800 F is to create a future-ready, adaptable, and mission-aligned headquarters that serves as both a high-performing workplace and a civic destination, setting a new standard for federal facilities.

1800 F Revitalization

1800F Headquarters Renovation Project 11

Project Scope Wings 0 and 3: Undergoing a full renovation featuring new furnishings, updated finishes, and improved building systems.

Specialized Areas: The auditorium and library will be renovated with enhanced seating and audiovisual equipment; the fitness center will receive upgrades, including locker rooms and shower facilities.

System Upgrades: Elevators will be modernized; historic windows and cast-iron elements will be restored; roofs and plumbing will be replaced; fire safety systems will be expanded; telecommunications will be improved; and the building envelope will be refurbished.

New West Infill: A proposed infill between Wings 2 and 3 aims to add office space and a glass atrium.

Wings Refresh: Wings 1 and 2, along with the East Infill, will be updated to align with the overall construction, creating a cohesive interior throughout the building.

Courtyards: Transform courtyards into versatile spaces that integrate parking, building amenities, and innovative workspaces.

The CMc Delivery Method

The Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) Delivery Method is a Fixed-Price Incentive Contract (FAR 16.404). The CMc Contractor provides advisory management services before construction and acts as a general contractor during construction.

"The CMc provides advisory professional management assistance to the owner during planning and design."

Contract Type:

• Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP)

• Services include constructability, cost estimating, and scheduling.

"The CMc acts as a general contractor during construction.“

Contract Type:

• Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP)

• Responsible for construction options following design completion.

1. Design Phase (Base) 2. Construction Phase (Option)

CMc services are solicited during the design phase (roughly concept design) for FFP Design Phase Services and a GMP Construction Option(s). During performance of the Design Phase Services, the CMc Contractor advises the owner and the Architect-Engineer (A/E) on:

The CMc Delivery Method – Design Phase

Constructability Work Phasing & Sequencing Systems Analysis

Involvement of Trades Cost Reconciliation Market Analysis

Risk Assessments Cost Estimating Scheduling

1800F Headquarters Renovation Project 25

The CMc Delivery Method – Construction Phase

Initial GMP Option Price (Target)

Given that the CMc contractor is hired before the design is complete, the need to have a price within the available budget is met by the CMc contractor guaranteeing a maximum price (GMP), which is a ceiling on the eventual construction price.

Final GMP Option Price (Final)

At approximately 75% design, GSA requests a final GMP option price for construction.

Constraint: The Initial GMP can go down, but not up (unless there is additional scope added to the project).

1800F Headquarters Renovation Project 26

Early Work Package - Core and Shell

What is an Early Work Package?

An “Early Work Package” is a set of construction activities that can be clearly defined and separately performed from the remainder of the construction work.

Core and Shell Specifics

● Priced separately as a firm-fixed-price contract line item.

● Included in the award as an Early Work Package.

GSA CMc Pricing Structure

Estimated Cost of the Work (ECW) The estimated cost of construction activities, excluding home office overhead.

Fee for the Construction Work The established amount for the contractor's profit and home office overhead.

CMc Contingency Allowance (CCA) Reimbursable costs for the contractor's exclusive use during construction (e.g., estimating errors). Not for change orders.

Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) The sum of the ECW, CCA, and the Fee for the construction work.

1800F Headquarters Renovation Project 30

Design Ideas for Workspaces

In 15 years the next generation of federal employees will work differently again. We need furniture that evolves with them — not furniture we have to replace.

The Federal Workforce Has Changed

• Assigned workstations

• Private offices as status

• Scheduled meetings only

• One size fits all

• Paper-heavy workflows

15 Years Ago

• Fluid & fully flexible

• Strategically embedded technology

• Spaces that sense & adapt

• Wellbeing as a design mandate

• Furniture that knows the worker

In 15 Years Ago

• A different way of working - Employees distributed nationwide across multiple time zones - virtual back-to-back meetings all day

• Workstations are small, dense, and not suited for RTO efforts

• Technology is fragmented, resulting in missed integration opportunities

• One-size-fits-all environment with limited flexibility

• Furniture at the end of its lifecycle

Today

The Furniture Hasn't – Until Now.

1800F Headquarters Renovation Project 32

1800 F Vision

Furniture as Workhorse

Hardworking, purpose-built solutions for real user needs. Reliable, functional, built to perform every single day.

Flexible & Adaptive Systems

Reconfigurable furniture that moves with the mission. One space, many uses — from solo focus to team collaboration in minutes.

Bespoke Finishes & Hospitality

Breaking the federal mold. Residential warmth, hospitality character, timeless materials — spaces people are proud to work in.

Designed for Every Worker

Neurodiversity, reasonable accommodations, and all work styles built into the palette from the start.

Resilient & Serviceable Systems

Kit-of-parts construction: repair the component, not the whole piece. Built for the long federal lifecycle.

Technology Forward Integration

Furniture that accommodates emerging technology as it evolves — infrastructure built in, not bolted on.

The unexpected details

We are not here for a catalog walkthrough. We want to talk innovation, hurdles, and what we can build together.

Let's solve the hard problems together.

Schedule innovation time

Not sales calls — real conversations. Bring R&D, product teams, thinkers. Show us what's next and what you'd do if we said yes to everything.

Co-develop solutions

From RA-integrated kit-of-parts to FSS-ready neurodiverse settings — let's prototype together before procurement begins.

Tell us your hurdles

Where does federal procurement slow innovation? What specs make the right solution impossible? Let's name them and fix them together.

Commit to the lifecycle

Future parts availability, service commitments, finish replication. We need partners who stand behind the full federal lifecycle.

Bring your boldest work

Not the catalog standards — what you'd do with full creative latitude. We want to see your vision.

Be the playbook

What we build at 1800 F travels. Your work here carries the GSA seal and becomes the model agencies nationwide will follow.

Partnership & Requirements

Strategic Context

GSA has conducted numerous pilots in workspace design and technology.

We know what we want; we need partners for rapid implementation.

The Reality:

No one vendor can do it all.

What We Want

● Holistic, integrated solutions over one-off software/hardware.

● Proven, interoperable, and scalable technology.

● Open protocols—strictly nothing proprietary.

● Future-proof investments, not "shiny" short-term tech.

● Seamless user journey from entry to workstation.

● Tech that is present but unobtrusive.

Security & Constraints

What we are NOT looking for:

● Testing new, unproven technology.

Cybersecurity

● Must be well-versed in FedRAMP and ATO requirements at GSA.

1800F Headquarters Renovation Project 37

Future Proofing

Small Business Greg Justice, Associate Administrator, Office of Small Business

Subcontracting Considerations

• Subcontracting is an evaluation factor o Contracts over $900k ($2M for construction) require a subcontracting plan o All prime contractors must submit a subcontracting plan

• What GSA looks for o Meaningful small business participation o Small businesses that are prepared to perform and deliver results

• Pre-proposal conference will have additional specific details about subcontracting opportunities
