The Federal Building at 50 United Nations Plaza building is a Second Renaissance Revival style federal building designed by Arthur Brown, Jr. and completed in 1936. The building is a contributing element to the San Francisco Civic Center National Historic Landmark District and listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

The project will also address greenhouse gas emissions; deliver actual, not anticipated, operational performance; provide flexible design for future adaptations/tenants; address climate change; provide sustainable operations and maintenance; incorporate sustainable materials/finishes; and, achieve user comfort in thermal, acoustic and visual conditions. The revitalization of this historic building will contribute to the vitality of the immediate Civic Center setting and surrounding neighborhood.



The building program includes build out of offices and building amenities such as a coffee bar, fitness center, break rooms and a conference center. The project includes: realignment and tenant improvement of interior office and support areas, including new finishes; seismic structural upgrade; hazardous materials abatement; refurbishment of existing exterior windows and addition of blast protection; modernization of telecommunication equipment; provision for two new electrical services; upgrade of electrical distribution system; upgrade with energy efficient lighting and lighting controls; replacement of plumbing system; installation of a new heating and ventilation system; refurbishment of fire sprinkler system; upgrade of fire alarm and detection system; refurbishment of existing elevators; upgrade of building security system and improvement of site perimeter protection; compliance with the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standards (ABAAS); fire safety improvements to bring the existing system to code; full roof replacement; implementation of sustainability and green building design, techniques, and features to achieve LEED Gold or Platinum certification and to meet Energy Performance Goals; installation of photovoltaic system; restoration of courtyard elements and landscaping; implementation of Art-in-Architecture commission; restoration and upgrade of the lobby in a manner similar to the GSA First Impressions principles and goals; and restoration of historically significant interiors and building fabric and elements.



At the time of contract award, the Project will be in the early phases of design. However, an early package of Construction Documents for selective demolition and hazardous materials abatement is planned to be complete soon after issuance of the Request for Proposals (RFP) and will be issued as an amendment to the RFP. There will be additional demolition work in the main Construction Phase.

The CMc is required to complete the Design Phase Services and Preliminary Demolition and Hazardous Materials Abatement Services during the Design Phase for the firm-fixed price determined in the base contract. The establishment of the initial GMP for Construction Phase Work is planned for the 50% Construction Documents phase of the Design Phase. At any time during Design Phase Services, the Contracting Officer may request the CMc provide a firm-fixed price proposal for the Construction Phase Work. The Contracting Officer shall have the right to convert the contract to a firm-fixed-price contract at the offered price or as otherwise negotiated by the parties to this contract, so long as such price is less than or equal to the GMP. If the parties to this contract negotiate and establish a firm-fixed-price prior to the exercise of the Construction Phase Work option, then the Contracting Officer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to exercise the firm-fixed-price option within 60 calendar days of the establishment of that price.

The CMc shall possess a full understanding of the project, its contract documents, the principles of Federal construction contracting and contract administration. The CMc must maintain a team with the expertise and capability to manage and coordinate the timely and orderly development and construction of the proposed project. Most importantly, the CMc shall have complete responsibility for the renovation of the facility, should the Option for Construction Phase Services be awarded.



Preliminary Demolition and Hazardous Materials Abatement Services includes furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, and expertise necessary to perform selective demolition work and abatement of hazardous materials such as asbestos-containing piping insulation, vinyl asbestos floor tile and mastic, lead paint, and other hazardous materials throughout the building. As this Project is slated to achieve a LEED Gold or Platinum rating, construction waste management per LEED credit requirements may be required.



Construction Phase Work includes, but is not limited to, provision of construction services with scope as outlined in the Request for Proposals (RFP) of this solicitation and the related project scope management; provision of on-site, full-time construction management; selection and procurement of all necessary subcontractors; administration of the construction contract either with CMc's direct workforce or through subcontractors; conducting weekly construction meetings, critical path method (CPM) scheduling and control; maintenance of construction records including daily logs and monthly reports, monitoring of construction costs; provision of monthly project financial reports; conducting and coordinating inspections and testing to ensure quality control; coordinating building system commissioning, record documentation, warrantees and guarantees as well as providing appropriate level of training to designated facility management staff and tenant; and all other required services necessary as a part of closeout procedures at the completion of construction. The CMc is a member of the project team during the design and construction phases, along with GSA as the public owner, the A/E, the Construction Manager as Agent (CMa), building commissioning consultant, independent inspection/testing firm, and other consultants.





CONTRACTING METHOD:

GSA intends to select a source utilizing "Best Value" source selection procedures pursuant to FAR Part 15. The selection procedure will employ tradeoffs where technical/management factors are more important than price and price related factors.
