GSA is seeking a means to obtain construction cost and building operations maintenance data that when applied as a cost model, or GSA cost database, will build individual cost estimates off to be utilized in an internal GSA cost estimating system. The data will be protected as a source data, and GSA users will have the capability of applying the cost data in a series of GSA-structured databases, cost models and individual projects. The intended applications will be in a series of cost breakdown organizations where the product-structured data elements will be applied directly to a definitive cost estimate, or assembled in cost models organized in ASTM UNIFORMAT II© and ASTM FACTS© Structure, as well as other GSA-defined cost breakdown structures, and used for building multiple cost estimates.

The construction cost data will be used for preparing definitive cost estimates for building renovation, repairs, alterations and construction while the building operations and maintenance data will be used for preparing definitive cost estimates for building maintenance tasks and work orders associated with the short-term building operations and maintenance.
