Project Background/Description: The General Services Administration (GSA) is looking for a small business contractor to modernize one (1) elevator car and its associated components in the Anchorage Historic Federal Building (Building no: AK0001AN) located in Anchorage, Alaska.

The Anchorage Historic Federal Building is a circa 1930s reinforced concrete structure with three floors, a basement, a flat roof, and a parapet. Gilbert Stanley Underwood designed the building and is a noted architect of National Parks lodges and many federal buildings in the western United States. It is built in the "New Deal Concrete" style, constructed of cast-in-place concrete with steel reinforcement, featuring tall, vertical windows. The building survived Anchorage's 9.2 magnitude earthquake of 1964 and the 7.1 magnitude earthquake in 2018, thanks to its robust construction and low profile.

Project Scope: This project aims to design and build one modern elevator car and associated components as outlined in the attached "HFB Elevator Modernization Spec 14210."
