Section 4: Project Background & Project Description

Before submitting a proposal on the work specified herein, each bidder is strongly advised to conduct a site visit to familiarize themselves with all existing conditions, identify limitations, and field verify dimensions for use in submitting offer and completion of work. No extra compensation will be allowed because of the Contractor’s misunderstanding as to the amount of work involved or because of his/her lack of knowledge of any existing conditions.

The U.S. Courthouse is located in Minnehaha County, in the CBD of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The U.S. Courthouse is the only GSA owned building in Sioux Falls, and is the oldest building in R8’s inventory. The U.S. Courthouse has four floors and a basement.

The Sioux Falls Federal Office Building and Courthouse in Sioux Falls, South Dakota is a Historic Building and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As such, projects in the building are required to follow the guidelines set forth in the following publications.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), Pub. L. No. 117-169, enacted in August 2022, provided GSA with significant funding for (a) measures necessary to convert facilities to high-performance green buildings, (b) acquisition and installation of construction materials and products with substantially lower levels of embodied greenhouse gas emissions, and (c) emerging and sustainable technologies. The Contract resulting from this Solicitation will be funded in part by IRA appropriations, and it contains numerous IRA-specific requirements. Requirements include, but are not limited to, requirements regarding pricing, invoicing, submittals, materials, and construction. In addition, please note that this Solicitation contains an evaluation factor favoring certain construction materials with the lowest possible levels of embodied carbon. Offerors shall carefully review this Solicitation, the Agreement, the Statement of Work, the Specifications, and the Drawings. Offerors are responsible for accurately pricing and, if successful, fully performing all Contract requirements.

Section 5: Project Objectives

1) The Contractor shall provide labor, materials, equipment and supervision to perform demolition and construction as defined in the attached construction documents. This includes but is not limited to the Construction Drawings and Project Manual. Any deviation from these documents shall require written approval from the GSA.

2) The Contractor shall abide by all building specific requirements including but not limited to access, business hours, utility shutdowns, deliveries, parking, dumpster locations, after hours work, permits and adjacent tenant disturbance.

3) The Contractor shall verify all requirements at the time of the pre-bid walk through.

4) The Contractor shall provide a project schedule and MOP as detailed in Section 9 before notice to proceed; to be approved by the GSA.

5) The Contractor shall comply with all codes, and standards applicable to each type of work through the course of this project. The Contractor shall also comply with the requirements of the

PBS P-100.

6) Contractor must adhere to all applicable requirements of Chapter 7 of the P-100 for Fire and Life Safety.

7) Contractor must perform a pre-alt asbestos and lead environmental survey prior to commencement of any work. See Attachment 3 – GSA SD Asbestos Pre-Alt SOW and Attachment 4 – GSA Lead Pre-Alteration Assessment SOW for requirements.

8) Contractor is responsible for the abatement of all Asbestos-containing material (ACM), lead paint (LP), and hazardous building materials as outlined in the following attachments:

Attachment 5 - GSA Sioux Falls USMS Asbestos Abatement Requirements; Attachment 6 -

3 | Page

GSA SD 3rd Party Abatement Clearance Requirements; Attachment 7 - GSA Base Lead Management Requirements.

9) The contractor will assume any paint disturbed as part of this project contains lead unless the Contractor’s pre-alteration inspection determines otherwise. Contractor will be required to abate all lead-based paint per Attachment 7 - GSA Base Lead Management Requirements.

10) The most recent asbestos building-wide survey is provided for reference purposes only as Attachment 15 – 2014 Asbestos Inspection. This "AHERA-style" building survey has been provided for background only. This type of asbestos survey is intended to identify asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed or touched by normal occupancy and operations and maintenance of the building. It does not provide the level of detail or specificity needed to match the scope of an alternation, renovation, or demolition project and often have not captured all renovation and repair activities that have occurred within the building over time. The sampling that the attached report is based upon is also surficial in nature and is not generally non-intrusive or destructive. Furthermore, this report does not adequately inspect and test materials in inaccessible spaces, plenums, chases, all layers of wall or floor systems, etc., as required by federal and state asbestos NESHAP requirements. The asbestos inspection reports do not typically include the exterior of the building, such as caulking, window systems, etc., and often presume or assume materials are asbestos-containing in lieu of destructive sampling for materials like ceramic tile grout and adhesives, roofing, vibration dampeners, fire doors, floor tile and mastic, etc. Quantities of materials presented in these reports are often incorrect, they often rely upon sample data that is over 15 to 30 years old, and GSA has found a lot of other inaccuracies and omissions in these reports. Given these issues, the sample results, findings, and conclusions of these reports are not warrantied by GSA, and GSA providing this report does not relieve the obligation of the Contractor to perform a project-specific hazardous material pre-alteration assessment in accordance with federal and state asbestos regulations and GSA policy.

11) Contractor will be responsible for developing health and safety plan for any incidental disturbance of hazardous material.

12) Contractor will schedule and attend a pre-abatement meeting prior to conducting any construction work on-site. Contractor’s certified asbestos abatement subcontractor will be required to attend this meeting.

13) All survey and layout are the responsibility of the contractor.

14) Contractor is responsible for field verifying all dimensions.

15) Contractor will coordinate with the A/E for all inspections and required submissions. The A/E of record will be providing construction administrative services for the duration of this project.

16) Disruptive Work - All painting, staining, or other activity which may cause noxious or undesirable fumes, as well as any noisy work that may be disruptive to the tenants and public must be performed outside of normal working hours. Normal working hours are Monday – Friday from 7:30am – 5:00pm excluding federal holidays. The use of paint or stain that does not generate odors is preferred and may be required if the space will be occupied the following day with prior written approval from GSA.

17) Furniture - Contractor is responsible for moving all existing tenant furniture to complete the window replacement project. Once work has been completed at each individual window, the contractor must move the furniture back to its original location. Contractor must protect all furniture from damage.

18) Contractor is responsible for repairing any exterior or interior finishes that are damaged as part of the contractor’s work.

Unless otherwise specified, all work requiring use of materials with a contractually-established IRA Limit shall utilize materials compliant with those Limits.

22) For each type of IRA-Eligible Material, the Contractor shall provide submittals of Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and product information -- see Division One Specification, Submittal Procedures, 013300.

23) IRA-Eligible Material scope item(s) shall be integrated into the project’s phasing, scheduling, reporting, and scope, to support overall project goals.

24) Limit area of disturbance or work area for IRA-Eligible Material scope item(s) to the minimum practical area. Work area or area of disturbance shall be restored to pre-project or new condition.
