HISTORIC FEDERAL BUILDING

605 W. 4TH AVE

The United States General Services Administration (GSA) requires Design-Build renovation of the existing NARA Warehouse complex on-site at the Historic Federal Building (HFB). The vacant warehouse interior must be converted to a parking garage with minimal changes to the existing building shell and adjacent site. GSA wants to maximize parking spaces in the garage to include a mezzanine level parking area with separate entrance. Due to the close proximity of the surrounding historic structure, the project will be closely monitored for compliance with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Buildings found at www.nps.gov/history/hps/tps/standguide/.

The HFB is on the National Register of Historic Buildings. The NARA facility is not historic itself, but sits within the historic site. Neither building is LEED certified.

Work hours for this project are unrestricted. Normal HFB business hours are 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM weekdays, except Federal holidays. Contractor shall schedule the work in writing at least seven (7) calendar days in advance with the GSA Project Manager (PM).

Noise disruption is a major consideration for tenants within the building. Activities that produce excessive noise as determined by GSA Project Manager must be completed outside of normal business hours and around occasional U.S. Court courtroom activities.

Contractor parking and access to the loading dock at the HFB is limited and require written coordination with the GSA Project Manager at least 7 calendar days in advance.

1. All work shall comply with GSA’s PBS-P100-2016, Facility Standards for the Public

Buildings Service http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/104821 and the latest version of GSA Region 10 Fire Alarm Design, Installation and Testing Policy.

2. Specific attention should be given to PBS P-100 Chapter One requirements including Laws, Regulations, Codes and Standards, and Key Sustainable Product requirements for carpet, interior paint, gyp board, ceiling tiles, and concrete.

3. Contractor shall provide all supplies, equipment, materials, services, and labor to perform the work.

Execute the Design-Build project as follows:

1. Preliminary Design: Submit schematic design drawings and concept narrative.

Description (Cont)

Design must follow PBS P-100 2016 baseline building standards with attention on Historic building requirements.

Develop design to integrate existing HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and fire life safety systems to the maximum extent possible. Existing shell should remain as-is with exception of new overhead and personnel openings. Existing perimeter fence and gates should remain as-is. Garage entry and exits must integrate with existing vehicle traffic flow. Material laydown, equipment staging, and entry/exit requirements for the secure site must be included in preliminary design.

Design must include installation of floor drainage with oil/water separation as required by local codes/PBS P-100 for connection to municipal storm water drain system, along with ventilation of vehicle exhaust emissions and carbon monoxide monitoring. Include expansion of west driveway width, along with garage door/vehicle gate operating interlocks, signage, and visual enhancements as necessary for safe and efficient traffic flow.

Basis of Design will be for a single level open garage with entrance at existing west driveway as shown on GSA Concept Drawing “Single-level Open”. Design for a minimum of eleven (11) vehicles. Include additional parking layout scenarios that maximize available parking spaces.

The design for the mezzanine-level parking area will include a separate entrance from the parking lot as shown on GSA Concept Drawing “Mezzanine Level”. This level must contain a minimum of four (4) parking spaces but should maximize available area. The mezzanine will be designed for use by U.S. Courts personnel and requires a separate entrance and foot travel path to an HFB entry than lower level garage.

Submit preliminary project management plan narrative and preliminary construction schedule. Plan must discuss access plan for personnel, equipment, demolition, and new equipment. Include narrative on safety, quality control, and communication.

Preliminary construction schedule will include major milestones and significant site coordination events.

Upon contract award, contractor must resubmit design as submitted with offer within ten (10) calendar days after Notice to Proceed, to confirm design selection.

2. Design Development: Contractor will submit each design phase for GSA Project Manager and Contracting Officer’s approval. Contractor receipt of approved comments will begin next phase. All approved comments and corrections will be included on next phase submission. 100% drawings showing all final corrections and comments must be submitted within fourteen (14) calendar days of 95% approval.
