Added: Feb 19, 2016 11:57 am The General Services Administration will be soliciting construction firms to provide all labor, material, equipment, and supervision necessary for construction services for the Internal Revenue Service Enterprise Computing Center (ECC) in Kearneysville, WV in which the scope of the project includes approximately 120,000 square feet of interior renovations; renovation of identified main building areas on multiple floors to accommodate the relocation / consolidation of employees; demolition and new construction in an existing tenant office space; raised access flooring, new/repaired gypsum partitions; paint, wall base, door frames and doors; door hardware; gypsum and acoustical lay in ceilings; millwork; mechanical work; fire protection work; telecommunication / security work, A/V work; electrical work, and site work. Disposal of existing furniture and moves will also be included in contract.

The Internal Revenue Service Enterprise Computing Center (ECC) in Kearneysville, WV is a campus composed of two (2) single-tenant buildings, the ECC Main Building and the ECC Annex, adjacent to WV Route 9 approximately five (5) miles east of Martinsburg, WV. Both buildings are occupied solely by the Internal Revenue Service. Sections of both buildings of the Enterprise Computing Center (ECC) are "mission critical" to the Internal Revenue Service and operate continuously on a 24/7/365 basis. This includes spaces that house Automated Data Processing (ADP) operations and the MEP systems that support them. The ECC Main Building is a 400,000 sf facility consisting of three distinct, inter-connected buildings: a 3-story Office building with attached auditorium, a 2-story Automatic Data Processing (or "ADP") building containing complex computer equipment, and a Warehouse.

The Internal Revenue Service Enterprise Computing Center (ECC) Annex is a 154,600 gross square feet building leased by the GSA for the IRS and composed of the three distinct structures; the one-story IRS Annex main building, a 74,300 gross square feet structure completed in 1995, the two-story IRS Central Utility Building (CUB), a 24,200 gross square feet structure also completed in 1995, and the two-story IRS Annex Office Expansion (AEO), a 55,900 gross square feet structure completed in 1996. The Internal Revenue Service Annex main building is occupied by a large computer room that uses approximately two-thirds of area of this portion of the facility. The term of the lease on this building is due to expire in the near future. With the release of updated IRS-REFM National Workplace Standards on May 1, 2014, and with the advent of mobile work strategies within the Federal workforce, the Internal Revenue Service realized that operations at the Enterprise Computing Center (ECC) Annex Building might be able to be consolidated into Main Building, allowing GSA to end the lease term of the Annex building and realizing significant savings to the American taxpayer.
