Project Summary:
The GSA announces an opportunity for a General Contractor to submit a proposal for a firm-fixed price construction contract for the Infrastructure Project at the Philip J. Burton Federal Building located at 450 Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco, California. 

The Phillip Burton Federal Building and United States Courthouse is located in the Civic Center area of San Francisco. The building is the largest office building in the vicinity and the largest federal building in the San Francisco metropolitan area.

The building is rectangular in shape and sheathed in an aluminum and glass exterior with a limestone and granite stone facade over concrete walls and columns. The building was renovated from 1989 through 1995 for asbestos removal and tenant space changes. The front plaza was redesigned and reconstructed in 2000. A new main entry project to enhance the security and first impressions of the building was completed in December 2005.

The proposed project shall include the following Scope of Work:
1. Install outside air (OA) intake risers from the north side building grade level up to below the 3rd floor windows as shown on the Contract Documents (CDs) attached to the RFP for this project;
2. The partial replacement of existing cold water (CW) mains with limited ACM pipe insulation abatement through basement and sub-basement areas from (2) CW service locations;

The Federal Building must remain fully operational throughout construction. Domestic water for washing and toilet flushing, potable water for the Cafeteria, HVAC exhaust and communications systems must remain operational during all occupied periods. Work deemed to be disruptive to tenants and the normal operation of the building (including loud noise, hazardous odors, dust, etc) must be scheduled for after normal building operation hours to minimize disruptions to building occupants and to maintain public safety. All work shall be in accordance with GSA quality standards and requirements, including Federally established energy and sustainability goals, accessibility requirements and security specifications. 100% Construction Drawings will be provided to the bidders. 

Prospective Offeror's experience must include, but is not limited to, demonstrated experience executing projects in an occupied building of similar size and complexity. The scope of work includes construction inspections, end-to-end pre-commissioning testing, commissioning, cost estimating, site investigation, site measurements, reproduction services, coordination, limited ACM and LBP abatement, demolition with recycling waste diversion and disposal, site supervision, quality management, security clearances for workers (HSPD-12) badging and other related services. Related services shall include, but are not limited to, delivery and staging sequencing through coordination with GSA Building Management, permitting, industrial safety and monitoring, and all necessary inspection services during construction, commissioning and potentially other related additional requirements.

The estimated cost for construction is between $15,000,000.00 and $25,000,000.00. The award of a firm-fixed price contract is anticipated to be made in July 2016. The award is subject to the availability of funds.
