DC Courts Building A Flat Roof Replacement Project

The District of Columbia Courts has issued a Sources Sought notice for the Building A (BLDA) Flat Roof Replacement Project, a construction services opportunity focused on replacing the aging roofing system of a historic four-story courthouse located at 515 5th Street NW in Washington, DC. The building, constructed in 1937 and comprising approximately 123,900 gross square feet, currently houses the DC Superior Courts Probate Division. The low-slope single-ply PVC roofing portions are approximately 20 years old and have reached the end of their lifespan, requiring replacement after years of temporary repairs. This Sources Sought notice represents a market research initiative by the DC Courts to assess the qualifications and availability of qualified contractors capable of executing this project. Responses are voluntary and for planning purposes only, with no compensation provided for submission.

The DC Courts seeks to gather information from interested contractors to determine market capacity before issuing a formal solicitation for construction to commence in Summer 2026. Contractors must submit responses by March 1, 2026, at 12:00 PM via email to Kenneth L. Evans Jr. or Flor Rivera at the DC Courts system email addresses. Eligible contractors must demonstrate experience permitting and constructing projects at occupied and historic buildings, deliver evidence of at least three roof installation or replacement projects completed within the past ten years, and possess experience performing work for municipal, state, or federal entities with demonstrated knowledge of Davis Bacon Act requirements and prevailing wage compliance. The anticipated contract will be awarded as a single fixed-price lump sum engagement with an 8-month construction duration and 9-month overall period of performance. Contractors responding to this Sources Sought should note that submission does not guarantee eligibility for any subsequent formal solicitation, though responses will inform the DC Courts' procurement planning and contractor selection process.
