Each floor will be renovated with a new layout with the exception of historic elements which will be protected and preserved. A majority of the existing partitions and room finishes will be removed. New metal stud and gypsum board partitions will be provided to create new offices, open office areas, conference rooms, storage spaces, breakrooms, restrooms, and building support areas. New finishes will be provided. Existing mezzanines will be removed and replaced with new construction to accommodate the needs of the tenant SHOP and current code related loading compliance.

(WOSB), and small businesses are encouraged to respond. Upon review of industry response to this Sources Sought Notice, the Government will determine whether a set-aside acquisition in lieu of full and open competition is in the Government’s best interest. If you are considering entering into a teaming arrangement, you should provide the name of all teaming partners, the anticipated type of teaming arrangements, address the specific services each member will provide and include applicable professional qualifications and experience for each member, and to what extent your company has worked with the proposed teaming partners in the past. For other than bundled requirements you may be able to joint venture with one or more small businesses and not be considered affiliated as long as each member of the joint venture is small under the applicable NAICS code (13 CFR 121.103(h)(3)). A small business prime will be required to comply with FAR 52.219-14, which limits the percentage paid by small business prime contractors to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. The limitation on subcontracting would apply to the cooperative effort of the joint venture and not each individual member (13 CFR 125.6(i)). Provide evidence that on past contracts of a similar nature that your company (as the prime contractor) was able to comply with the requirement of FAR 52.219-14 and will be able to comply with this requirement under the proposed contract.
