8(a) Sole Source-1724 F Street Paving

1724 F St listed on the National Historic Register and is headquarters of the United States Trade Representatives. The parking around the building is reserved for high level representatives. The asphalt paving around 1724 F Street has had a history of problems. 2-3 years ago the GSA White House mason shop backfilled and repaved the alley parking way. The issues show that the backfill was not compacted properly, or the incorrect backfill was used. Currently the asphalt has sunk approximately three inches in
four parking locations due to faulty backfill. The project was initiated because of widespread subsidence of the alley driveway, causing tripping and falling hazards. Divets and depressions are existent and will become larger over time. See photos attached in the appendix. The back parking area of the building appears to have sound substrate, however, it is covered with many patches and cracks. The tenant currently uses this alley and back entrance to provide ABAAS access into the building. This project includes paving the alley and back parking area.
