The General Services Administration (GSA) Design Excellence Program seeks to commission architects, engineers, and construction professionals to maintain and modernize our legacy federal buildings for the next 50 to 100 years of service. These projects are to demonstrate the value of integrated design that balances historic significance with current needs; balances aesthetics, cost, constructability, and reliability; and creates environmentally responsible and superior workplaces for civilian federal employees.
In this context, GSA announces an opportunity for Design and Construction Excellence in public architecture for performance of Architectural Engineering Design and Construction services in accordance with GSA quality standards and requirements. As required by law, regulation or Executive Order, all facilities will meet performance targets and security requirements.
The GSA intends to award a Design-Build (DB) contract for the Birch Bayh Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse Elevator Modernization Project located in Indianapolis, Indiana, pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedures (FAR Subpart 36.3).
The DB scope of work includes all labor and materials required to provide design, engineering, construction, and other related services necessary to modernize six passenger elevators and one freight elevator in a fully occupied federal courthouse. The basic modernization scope items include the following:
● Solid State drives to replace existing motor generators.
● New microprocessor Destination based electronic controllers.
● Door operators, wiring, safeties
● Lighting and fan power reduction
● Hoistway refurbishment including hoistway lighting, guide shoes and roller guides replaced
● New machine room control systems, operating panels, feeder cables
● Elevator cab ceilings and lighting systems
● Operational safety feature upgrades to comply with current building codes
● Machine room piping and roof drain location modification if necessary due to new equipment
● New sump pumps or drainage in elevator pits
● Hazardous material abatement as necessary
