About this opportunity

The General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service is seeking a construction contractor to renovate the Sheridan Building at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington, DC through solicitation 47PM0325R0002. The project involves comprehensive renovation of a 387,350 square foot, eight-floor residential building built in 1962 that will be transformed into 491 residential spaces with basement amenities for veteran retirees. The work includes independent and assisted living units ranging from 450-750 square feet, each featuring kitchenettes, ADA-compliant bathrooms, living spaces, and bedrooms where applicable. Proposals will be evaluated using a best value trade-off approach with technical factors (70%) including past experience (20%), past performance (30%), key personnel (30%), and management approach (20%), which combined are approximately equal to price in importance. The RFP submission deadline was extended to March 28, 2025 at 4:00 PM EST, with a pre-proposal conference and site visit held on January 29, 2025, and RFI responses completed through multiple amendments.

This procurement is not designated as a set-aside and is open to all responsible firms under NAICS code 236118 (Residential Remodelers) with a small business size standard of $45 million. The estimated contract value ranges between $100-150 million for this firm-fixed-price contract, which will be executed in two phases: Area A (Base Contract) and Area B (Option 1), with Area A construction beginning in early 2025. The project requires a mandatory Project Labor Agreement due to the large-scale nature exceeding $35 million and must be completed within 655 calendar days from notice to proceed. Work will be performed at the Armed Forces Retirement Home campus at 3700 North Capitol Street NW, Washington, DC, which is listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places, requiring potential historical preservation review for construction activities. The building will remain partially occupied during construction, requiring careful coordination to maintain operations while transforming the facility into modern housing for veteran retirees.
