The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service, Northeast and Caribbean Region intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a qualified General Contractor to provide construction services for the Hurricane Repair Project at the Toledo Courthouse in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Hurricanes Irma and Maria traversed Puerto Rico on September 6, 2017 and September 20, 2017 respectively.  The Toledo Courthouse suffered extreme damage, including damage to both the interior and exterior of the facility.  Damage included, but was not limited to, water infiltration of the roof, skylights and exterior fixtures.  As a result, GSA intends to repair, replace and/or modernize site/building elements and building systems to better protect the building and site from future storms.

This project for the Toledo Courthouse includes, but is not limited to, providing all labor, materials, tools and equipment necessary to replace damaged exterior site lighting, demolition of the generator roof, scaffolding and roof work, concrete  and masonry work, mechanical and electrical work, as well as, fire and life safety improvements.

The Estimated Construction Cost for this project is between $2,000,000-$4,000,000.  The period of performance for this requirement is expected to be 362 calendar days.

This requirement will be issued as a Total Small Business Set Aside in accordance with FAR 6.203. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code associated with this procurement is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction.
