The proposed project consists of the renovation of the 366,141RSF in the main building at the Andover, MA campus. The IRS will consolidate Accounts Management (AM) and Compliance Service (CS) functions into the main building, while phasing out submission processing (SP) of paper tax returns. The GSA has determined that renovating the existing Main Campus is the best and most viable housing alternative to fulfill the IRSs requirements for consolidation of the offsite leases and modernization of the infrastructure. Renovating and retaining this facility will allow the government to continue to provide code compliant, state-of-the-art, secure, environmentally compliant, and energy efficient space in this large campus facility, strategically located off the I-93 highway.

(1) Superstructure: Seismic upgrades

The project will be completed in two phases to accommodate partial occupancy by the government during construction. This project includes options, which will be evaluated as part of the award.
