Title:

U.S. Courthouse Alteration – Tomochichi United States Courthouse, Savannah GA

Description:

The Project is considered an “Alteration” in accordance with GSA P-100 publication for purposes of standards to be met.  Work upon this historic structure will involve aspects that are in essence, one or a combination of the following:  repair, renovation, rehabilitation, preservation, and alteration to the Tomochichi United States Courthouse, located at 125 Bull Street in the National Historic Landmark District of Savannah GA. The Courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Place (#74000663) for Engineering in 1974. It is a single structure comprising a basement, three floors above ground, an attic and a lookout tower enclosing additional floor levels. The Second Renaissance Revival style Courthouse designed by Jeremiah O’Rourke in the years 1894-1899 is richly ornamented white Georgia marble. An L- shaped addition, constructed in 1930-1932, emulates the detailing of the original building but is executed in glazed white terra cotta rather than marble.

Due to the age of the existing Tomochichi Courthouse, major upgrades and/or replacement of major building systems including the building enclosure, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, vertical conveyance and life safety systems are needed to ensure continued operation for the Courts and to address energy efficiency. A Courthouse Annex, separated by Whitaker Street is also being designed and constructed under separate procurement, and will directly relate to the Tomochichi Courthouse employee traffic. The altered Tomochichi Courthouse in conjunction with the Annex, will improve security, provide for future growth, consolidate the court family, and positively impact downtown Savannah.

The Project site is bounded by Bull Street, West York Street, Whitaker Street and East State Street. This alteration project will be an anchor for revitalization and future compatible development in the Historic District, and its design should reflect the dignity, enterprise, vigor and stability of the Federal Government and respect the original design. The renovated Tomochichi United States Courthouse will retain its approximately 125,668 gross square feet (GSF), including 7 inside parking spaces. The Courthouse will provide a total of three (3) courtrooms – one (one) District, one (1) Senior District and one (1) Magistrate Courtroom. The building will provide space for the United States District and Magistrate Courts, United States Marshals Service, United States Attorney’s Office, and GSA’s Public Buildings Service. The

Estimated Construction Cost range is approximately $55 to $65 million. GSA has contracted separately for a Construction Manager as Agent (CMa), as well as for an Architect Engineer (A/E).
